Partner Meme
Copied from theferrett:
1. Who eats more?
I do. Rachael has been fighting to get enough food lately, and dropping weight. Not a problem I have.
2. Who said "I love you" first?
I don’t remember. Could have been either of us. If I had to guess, I'd say me.
3. Who is the morning person?
Neither of us. I'm an earlier riser than she is, but that's really not saying much.
4. Who sings better?
That would be me.
5. Who’s older?
Rachael is 12 years older. Matters much less than it would have a few years past, though she does still cringe when I mention that Kennedy was assassinated on my 5th birthday. :-)
6. Who’s smarter?
Rachael, hands down. I've known some really smart people in my life (and count myself among them), but she leaves everyone else I've known in the dust.
7. Whose temper is worse?
That, too, would be me.
8. Who does the laundry?
I do.
9. Who does the dishes?
Almost always me. Both laundry and dishes are hard for Rachael because of her physical challenges.
10. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
She does.
11. Whose feet are bigger?
Hers.
12. Whose hair is longer?
Hers is. They're pretty close, really, but since mine is curly it looks shorter.
13. Who’s better with the computer?
Rachael.
14. Do you have pets?
Nope.
15. Who pays the bills?
Depends on the bill.
16. Who cooks dinner?
Usually me. This is another area where her physical contraints have a definite effect. She likes to cook and is good at it, but really can't anymore.
17. Who drives when you are together?
Usually Rachael.
18. Who pays when you go out to dinner?
Usually me. Our finances are essentially shared, though.
19. Who’s the most stubborn?
I think I am, though she might debate that, actually.
20. Who is the first one to admit when they’re wrong?
Probably her, but not by a lot. I'll admit it as soon as I see it, and that doesn't usually take a long time.
21. Whose family do you see more?
I see my family more often than either of us sees hers, but we see her family together more often.
22. Who named your pet?
The only pet we ever got when we lived together was a cat who attached himself to me. I named him with input from others in the household.
23. Who kissed who first?
I think I kissed her first. If not, it was more mutual than one of us taking a clear lead.
24. Who asked who out?
Also not sure. Probably I asked her, but it could've been the other way around.
25. Who stole question 25?
I didn't steal it, I just borrowed it.
26. Who’s more sensitive?
Depends on what you mean by sensitive. I'm more likely to be fragile around emotional issues (though she has her moments), but she is more psychically attuned.
27. Who’s taller?
She is, by about 6 or 7 inches. She's tall and thin, I'm short and round. We look like Mutt & Jeff.
28. Who has more friends?
Neither of us has a lot. In the past I wouldn've said her, and it still might be true, but I'm working on it. And I'm able to get to more social events than she is these days.
29. Who has more siblings?
I do.
30. Who wears the pants in the relationship?
I don't know that either of us does. I tend to be more in charge, but it's as much because I'm caregiver as it is because I'm being bossy.
