Thirteen Things I Know
There are certain times in a relationship that you should know certain things. After a year of marriage, I have learned a thing or two…
1. Five of his favourite foods: lemon meringue pie, lamb, oysters, chicken parmas, Mongolian bbq
2. Sometimes you go to bed angry. Your marriage survives.
3. His clothing sizes. (Roughly. I don’t know exacts.)
4. It’s important to check in every now and then about how things are going in all areas.
5. His favourite colours: blue and green.
6. Personal time is important.
7. Three of his favourite bands/performers: ACDC, Tarot Suite, Tommy Emmanuel
8. Give and take, reach and withdraw.
9. At least five of his good/bad habits. (Nah, I’m not going to list them.
10. You may always love them, but you don’t always like them.
11. Three of his favourite television shows: Dr. Who, Torchwood, Top Gear
12.
13. When he wants a cuddle and when he wants to be left alone (though I sometimes ignore them…)

Hi, I just did my first TT this week, and was thinking about whose TT to look at first, I thought why not try my own back yard first. So here I am reading your TT! I have been married to the same man for a very long time and can appreciate your thirteen points about your man. And we are both in Australia, I think that’s pretty cool!
regards
Eaton.

Eaton - Welcome to Thursday Thirteen. Thank you for checking out mine.
G’day to a fellow Aussie.
Aud - I learned that one pretty quickly.

I love #2. So true. My husband still sometimes tries to make me adhere to his “we have to smooch before going to bed no matter what” rule, but I tell him (usually when I’m not mad at him, so as not to increase the tension), “When I’m mad at you, I just don’t really feel like kissing you.”

Aud - Thank you!
Amy - I’m glad my husband understands that much, at least.
It took *me* a while to get that it wasn’t a huge horrible thing to go to bed angry, though.
