The Meme of Us
I found this fun relationship meme at Ms. Zoot’s site and thought it would be perfect for this site.
Today I’ll fill out the questions based on my relationship, but if you want to participate feel free!
If you fill out this meme and send it to me with a link to your blog/site, I’ll put it up on a future Monday for the ‘Our Story’ section of this site! Email me your responses to sylver451(at)tpg(dot)com(dot)au
How long have you been together? About two years and four months. (Longest relationship I’ve ever had. Hehe!)
How long did you date? In terms of ‘how long were you together before getting engaged’ erm… Before he engaged in person, we dated for a little over a year. It was pretty much solid that we were going to get married from early on, though.
How old is he? Older than I am.
Who eats more? I do. The guy is like a camel with water AND food.
Who said ‘I love you’ first? I’d have to check, but I think it might have been him. Or me. I’m really not sure. I think we both said it plenty of times in many ways before saying the actual words.
Who is taller? He is.
Who is smarter? Definitely him. He’s extremely intelligent as well as being a smartass.
Who does the laundry? We both do. It used to be mostly him, but they we finally bought a washer so I can do the laundry during the day if I want to.
Who does the dishes? Pretty much the person who doesn’t cook does the dishes. Sometimes we just wash our own dishes and the person who didn’t cook does the other stuff.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Memememe. It’s kind of unfortunate because I usually like to sleep on my left side. Ha!
Who pays the bills? Up until now, it’s been me paying my bills (US bills) and him paying the bills over here (Australia). We’re slowly moving towards me paying all the bills, though.
Who mows the lawn? We don’t have a lawn to mow.
Who cooks dinner? Usually him because I get so nervous. He’s such a good cook and I feel lousy when I burn something or overcook it. I will occasionally get adventurous during the day, though, when no one is watching.
Who is more stubborn? We’re both pretty darn stubborn. This is a tough call, but I think he’s just a bit more stubborn than I am.
Who kissed who first? He kissed me. Hehe. On my first day here in Australia, the hussy.
Who asked who out? Neither, really. We kind of did the flirty dance and it was obvious we were meant to be together. No asking needed.
Who proposed? He did. A couple times. Hehe.
Who is more sensitive? My instant reaction is me, but he’s a pretty sensitive guy even if he doesn’t show it as much as I do. I’m still going to go with me, though.
Who has more friends? Lessee… I’d say him because he works outside the house in a big company where everyone likes him.

How fun to learn more about you! I was going to send my answers, but I don’t have a blog or site. Do people that respond on here usually have one?
I just found your site last week.

You can still send it to me and I’ll put it up here.
A site isn’t necessary. I get an even mix of people who do and don’t have sites.
I’m glad you found here and said hello!

Do you get a lot of flack for having a website called Long Relationships when you’ve only been together for 2 years?
I think the topic is fun and it’s cool that you share your life with people on here.

No, I haven’t had any comments. A ‘long’ relationship is in the eye of the beholder. Yes, I may be giving advice, but what I’ve learned so far is just as important as what another woman has learned after five, ten, twenty years of marriage.
I actually think I’m at a bit of an advantage because the first few years you learn the basics, which is a great way to start writing on this site. As I live and learn, I’ll impart what I’ve learned.
I do very much enjoy writing for this site.
