marielapin Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 [quote name='Terra Firma' post='1850978' date='Apr 27 2009, 10:09 PM']Yeah we have already had discussions about cleaning help. He will have to step up! I do love being married to an engineer. We complement one another well, and I never have to worry about car problems! Plus I love how linear he is in his thinking and emotions. He's so straightforward about what he's thinking and feeling. I love not having to guess ... makes me feel so secure. I'm guessing your guy is somewhat similar?[/quote] Yes, Jared is similar. He is also extremely honest. One of the only drawbacks to being married to a male engineer is that there has to be "a plan" for everything, and if for some reason we aren't both following "the plan" (whether by miscommunication or no knowledge of "the plan"), it can cause friction. This is pretty much the only reason we argue (which happens rarely), and it is always over stupid stuff. I usually don't know about "the plan", or I didn't listen closely enough to "the plan", or I wasn't told about "the plan" sufficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my case, we start out the day with a plan, but it is subject to change without notice as new information becomes available. All the changes are, of course, completely and totally rational, given the available information, and are only communicated on a "need to know" basis. I apparently don't always need to know. But all the other stuff more than makes up for "the plan." I just totally love not having to guess where he stands on things. It was really refreshing when we started dating, and I've grown to love the honesty and straightforwardness even more over the time we dated and since we've been married.

I wouldn't give up my husband for anyone, "the plan" included. (Note: laughing about "the plan" in front of him is usually not a good idea - even though it can be ridiculous sometimes) Honesty is something that I prize extremely highly, and I love and appreciate him so much for it! He is even terrible at playing BS! How awesome is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeyman Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Congratulations Terra and welcome to the association of law school graduates (if I'm a touch early, I have confidence! but since I was late to see the post, I'm sure it is now a done deal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had graduation this last Saturday, so you weren't too late. Graduation went well, no tripping or anything. My parents even came in from Indiana and stayed with us, which was fun. Now I just have to study for the bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
