Our Story - Jean

by

lotus.jpgHello and welcome (back) to Long Relationships.

As you know, every Monday I have been posting responses to the Our Story Meme (along with links to the responder’s site(s)), and I have been enjoying the answers a lot so far. Remember, if you haven’t answered the meme questions yet, feel free to send the answers to sylvr451@tpg.com.au (If you aren’t married, just skip the ‘who proposed’ question.)

The lovely Jean of Marital Talk and Parenting and Religion is letting us take a sneak peak into her relationship this week.

Enjoy…

How long have you been together? We met 30 years ago this month, will be married 28 years in July.

How long did you date? 2 years, 4 months

How old is he? 49

Who eats more? He does, a lot more.

Who said ‘I love you’ first? He did (and scared me…. I was only 14!)

Who is taller? He is about 6″ taller.

Who is smarter? We both are in different areas.

Who does the laundry? We both do.

Who does the dishes? Mostly me, occasionally him.

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Who’s right?

Who pays the bills? We do.

Who mows the lawn? Our neighbor…lol

Who cooks dinner? I do, but he does the occasional surprise dinner, and very well too.

Who is more stubborn? Me.

Who kissed who first? He kissed me first.

Who asked who out? He asked me.

Who proposed? He did.

Who is more sensitive? He is.

Who has more friends? He does.

May I also add that he is usually the first to apologize, and that he is much nicer than I am? I am not ashamed of it, it has become a joke. I am not as nice, therefore I am not as much of a pushover…just ask the kids.
