relationship meme
1. Who eats more? He probably eats more meals a day but I eat more in a sitting.
2. Who said "I love you" first? He did. Right after our first "fight" that wasn't a fight, we'd just had a stressful evening and I was crying.
3. Who is the morning person? Neither if we can help it but he's always awake first.
4. Who sings better? Neither. I have a crap voice and he's not great but we sing to the animals and each other constantly to be silly.
5. Who's older? He was born November 29 1982; me December 24 1984
6. Who's smarter? Depends on the subject I guess. He knows every band or musician of the past 30 years and can tell you the singer's dog's name and every side project they were involved in at any given time. Obscure animation studio in France? He knows it. Maybe he's smarter. He makes me feel dumb sometimes.
7. Whose temper is worse? Me, no question but he can have his moments too. It takes longer for him to flip out. I can become murderous over someone pushing a shopping cart too slow in front of me.
8. Who does the laundry? He does his laundry if he's running low on socks or something. We both do mixed loads about equally. For some reason when he puts away the laundry he will hang up all of my shirts and put away even my underwear but will leave yoga pants/tights/pajama bottoms on the bed, crumpled. I have no idea why.
9. Who does the dishes? He does. I'll do them sometimes but usually he will. I have never designated this as as his chore, he took it up himself.
10. Who sleeps on what side of the bed? He's on the right, I'm on the left but upon going to bed I will always spoon him as close as possible which puts us both dangerously close to the edge of the bed sometimes.
11. Whose feet are bigger? His. He's a dude. That'd be weird if it were mine.
12. Whose hair is longer? Mine. I have seen one photo circa age 18 where he had long hair and looked like a doppelganger of Trent Reznor.
13. Who's better with the computer? He is, but he doesn't go poking around with my laptop much unless I ask for help. He has his own pc, I use mine for screwing around on the internet and drawing with the wacom tablet.
14. Do you have pets? Hahahahahaha.
15. Who pays the bills? He pays his credit cards, car insurance, etc. We usually split rent/mortage but to help him get ahead of his (relatively small) credit card debt I have been paying more for a few months. I pay for Netflix, he pays for Hulu. We split groceries.
16. Who cooks dinner? I usually do but if it's a night when he cooks I will wash dishes. I'm supposed to be making dinner right now. He's about to ask why I'm not, I can feel it.
17. Who drives when you are together? He does, his car is better and I hate driving. We've talked about getting another car...I would drive more if I had a better car at my disposal.
18. Who pays when you go out to dinner? We don't normally go out but we take turns. Sometimes it's been so long that we can't remember whose turn it's supposed to be on that outing.
19. Who's the most stubborn? Me probably. We're both asses if we want to be.
20. Who is the first one to admit when they're wrong? I will because I feel like fighting is a waste of time, and then he will.
21. Whose family do you see more? Mine because they live here.
22. Who named your pet? Which one? Sometimes we just say things until something sticks (for a rat or a fish...like Baby Cobra, my betta fish). We tried naming Meeru for 2 weeks and finally went back to "Meeru" that we read in a book the day after we found her.
23. Who kissed who first? He kissed me and sort of missed because it was awkward and we were on the bed talking after we had met IRL (yes, IRL).
24. Who asked who out? I asked him over text (ugh, really?) while I was at work if he was "going to be my boyfriend or what" like a week after we'd met in person.
25. What did you do on your first date? We met on OKcupid when I was about to delete my account and instead browsed, found his profile, and almost died because he had a picture of himself with his family's corgi puppy. Our first "date" was him driving from Jacksonville to Orlando and us both hoping we wouldn't be meeting some dragon faced internet creep. He came to my house, got here way sooner than I'd expected and I had wet hair from the shower, thrown on wrinkled clothes, no makeup..we sat on my bed, talking, waiting to "get sick of" each other. To further freak him out we went to my parents' house for dinner and then drove back to my house, singing to music in the car, and went to bed. Next day I think we went to Universal or something. He left after 3 or 4 days and came back..I don't know, really soon after. About 2 months later he came to visit and never went back. To this day he will look at me and say "Sick of me yet?".
26. Who's more sensitive? I'm pretty sensitive but sometimes I think he is. I have to be careful not to be too mean.
27. Who's taller? He is, I'm tiny. I thought he was short when we met. I think I was drunk that day or something.
28. Who has more friends? I have more "friends" in real life...mostly coworkers. He has tons of online and out of state friends that he's known for years. One of them, Melissa, we met together in real life for the first time last year. They'd been friends for about 15 years online. We met her dressed as Princess Leia and her fiance was Luke Skywalker.
29. Who has more siblings? He does. I only have a sister and I'm the baby. He's the baby of four and his siblings are significantly older. His sister is older than my parents (by like 2 years but still), and then he has a brother around "50 something" and another who is 36-ish.
30. Who wears the pants in the relationship? I recently had a friend/coworker ask me this. He insisted that I must wear the pants..I insisted I'm just a bitchy lady and tend to get my way. In reality, I think it's pretty equal.
