jaleco1. Who eats more?
Hard to say. I can't eat a lot in one sitting but I will graze all day long. He can can not eat anything all day and then eat one ridiculously massive meal for dinner. We probably come up even.
2. Who said "I love you" first?
He did.
It was just over a week after our first date and he'd been talking about love a few days before... hinting I guess. I was doing something on the computer and he was playing a video game and he kept doing this annoying kid thing like "Honey? Honey? Honey? Honey" until I'd finally say "What!?" he'd then just smile and say "Hi!"
Well the 7th or 8th time he did this he said "I love you!" instead of just hi and I was like uh huh. He thought I had tuned him out at this point but I hadn't. I then yelled at him for being annoying and told him I loved him too. lol
3. Who is the morning person?
Me.
I don't love to wake up to be specific. Getting up and out of bed sucks but I LOVE mornings. Especially in Spring/Summer.
There is NOTHING like a beautiful morning. The way the air smells sweet and earthy, the sky is still dusky with pinpricks of stars but the light of sunrise brightening everything... it totally envigorates me. Sunsets just can't compare thought they are nice too.
I kind of like working midnights right now because I can enjoy mornings without being groggy from just waking up.
4. Who sings better?
It's a draw. Neither of us has amazing voices but neither of us is especially tone deaf either. We both like to sing around the house. He usually silly sings though.
5. Who's older?
Rowland is by just under 3 months. His birthday is tomorrow. Mine is April 20th.
6. Who's smarter?
We are both smart in different ways so I'd say another draw. It's one of those can't judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree things. He's much more technical/computer skilled than I am. I am more book smart than he is etc.
7. Whose temper is worse?
Mine X 1000000. I flare up and bitch and moan and just have big ol' temper tantrums. He gets testy at worst.
8. Who does the laundry?
We both do. I usually do it but sometimes he is in chore mode and will do some loads of laundry when I am sleeping. I do the diaper laundry though.
9. Who does the dishes?
He does. He always has. I hate dishes. Hate them. I will use mugs or big measuring cups for bowls before I give in an do the dishes. haha. He always does them right away.
It's not so bad now that we have a dish washer though. I don't mind loading it up and doing a load if I notice there are enough dishes. But he still does most of the dishes and he is the one who hand washes the ones that wont fit in the washer.
10. Who sleeps on what side of the bed?
Right now I am on the right he is on the left. Every once in a blue moon we sometimes switch though.
11. Whose feet are bigger?
His are. He's a men's 10 and I am a women's 10.
12. Whose hair is longer?
Mine. It touches the top of my "tramp stamp".... might be time for a cut.
13. Who's better with the computer?
He is. He built both of our computers... he does tech support for AT&T. I'm not an idiot with computers but I've got nothing on him.
14. Do you have pets?
Yup. 3 cats. Batman (Batty) who I've had since I was 19. Buffy we got from a coworker of mine in 2009, and Nyx I found in a parking lot in 2011.
15. Who pays the bills?
I do. I was already living on my own and had my own accounts set up when we got together that we just kept it that way. Just now the checking account is a joint one.
16. Who cooks dinner?
I do. He can make chicken nuggets for George or microwave food for himself but I am the cook.
17. Who drives when you are together?
Either my mom or his sister, we don't drive. He pushes the stroller if we have it though lol.
18. Who pays when you go out to dinner?
He does. I never bring my purse/wallet. I hate carrying purses.
19. Who's the most stubborn?
Definitely me.
20. Who is the first one to admit when they're wrong?
Neither of us. lol We tend to turn things in to a joke rather than admitting we were wrong. It works.
21. Whose family do you see more?
I'd say it's somewhat even but my family wins out a bit. Sometimes we see his sister and her girlfriend every month but sometimes they can't come due to work schedules. We see my mom a couple times a month when she visits George.
We only see his mom on holidays really and his other sister I haven't even seen since George's first birthday. We see my brother on holidays though now that he has a baby my mom takes me to see him every other month or so when she visits. (he lives 2 towns over)
22. Who named your pets?
I named Batty and Buffy and he named Nyx.
He originally named Buffy "Eva" but it didn't quite fit. After watching the 90's Buffy movie (7 months after naming her Eva!) I asked if we could change it to BUffy. He was ok with it. Suits her perfectly.
I wanted to name Nyx "Hallie' for Halloween since I found her in the fall and she's a perfect Halloween cat but he didn't like it. We somehow just settled on Nyx though I still keep asking to change it to something else every once in a while.
23. Who kissed who first?
He kissed me. Totally old fashioned. Walked me to my door at the end of our first date and gave me a sweet, chaste little kiss on the lips.
24. Who asked who out?
He asked me out at work. A friend of mine that had transfered there told him about me and then I transfered there a few months later. We met on Tuesday, he asked me out Wednesday and had our date on Thursday. He kind of unofficially moved in by Sunday.
25. What did you do on your first date?
Went to dinner at East Side Mario's. Talked until they kicked us out. Then he walked me home.
26. Who's more sensitive?
We are both pretty sensitive. He's a definite romantic who loves musicals and family time. I'm more girly sensitive with all the crying lol.
27. Who's taller?
He is. 6' vs my 5'4"
28. Who has more friends?
Eh... me I guess. I have more online friends and I see my one rl friend more often. He has no online friends and hasn't seen any of his RL friends since George was born. We aren't social people.
29. Who has more siblings?
He has 2 older sisters. I have 2 younger brothers. We both only see one of our siblings with any regularity. I also have an ex step sister and brother but I've stopped considering them siblings in the past year or so.
30. Who wears the pants in the relationship?
I do. I'm always the "bad cop" when it comes to anything. He is too easy going about big decisionsor being firm. We agree on things together but he lets me do the bulk of the deciding.
Here's a pic of us from the early days... He looks so weird here without the beard.
