First seen over on

fionnabhar's LJ.

1.Who eats more?
Definitely

diermuid, and he also eats weirder...er, more adventurously.

2. Who said "I love you" first?
I honestly have no idea, but I still remember how I felt glowy all over the first time he casually called me "honey" in conversation.

3. Who is the morning person?
Neither of us, but I think I'm better at getting into gear.

4. Who sings better?
We are neither of us particularly good singers, but he's much more enthusiastic and likely to burst into song.

5. Who's older?
Me. He's a child bride -- about three years younger.

6. Who's smarter?
Speaking as an intellectual elitist, I have to say I think he's brilliant, to the point that some of his thought patterns are nearly alien to me.

7. Whose temper is worse?
His. He'll go from not seeming to care to "silver-back" gorilla in a heartbeat. Fortunately, it takes a LOT to push him to that point. I'm much more likely to tell somebody off at the "knock that shit off before I get angry" phase.

8. Who does the laundry?
Me, though I have recently given up on the notion that I have to fold all the laundry for everybody. The eldest one at home right now (a HS senior) has a day or two each week designated as "her" days to do her own darn laundry, because that girl was giving me agida.

9. Who does the dishes?
Dishes are a shared chore. One kid puts away the clean dishes in the morning, while another gets breafast dishes into the dishwasher after school, and then I usually do dinner dishes and clear out the sink every night. To be fair,

diermuid does almost all of the dinner cooking.

10. Who sleeps on what side of the bed?
I sleep on the right side, so I can cuddle up against him without necessarily being on my right shoulder all night. (He doesn't care what side he sleeps on.)

11. Whose feet are bigger?
What kind of question is this? His.

12. Whose hair is longer?
Mine, but it was the other way around sometime last year, I think. His beard is fuller, though.

13. Who's better with the computer?
Dear lord, HIM.

14. Do you have pets?
YES. We currently have two dogs. At some point, I'll probably be glad not to have a dog or two around the house, but right now I can't imagine not having a dog.

15. Who pays the bills?
We share bill-paying responsibilities.

16. Who cooks dinner?
Almost always him, but usually I'm the one who comes up with a plan. Gotta say, though, that he's *way* better than me at just cooking something; I need a recipe to at least start with.

17. Who drives when you are together?
Mostly him, because he's a shitty passenger. :)

18. Who pays when you go out to dinner?
Depends.

19. Who's the most stubborn?
He is.

20. Who is the first one to admit when they're wrong?
I am. Don't recall the last time he ever admitted to being wrong, but really...we seldom push any discussions to the point where it's important that somebody be right or wrong. Lesson learned with age and a lot of counseling after failed first marriages, maybe?

21. Whose family do you see more?
It's a toss-up. Both families are on the east coast, so we really only see them once per year. His parents stay longer and generally do more. Mine are really slowing down with age...and my mother has less and less energy/functionality.

22. Who named your pet?
The kids named both dogs, though I had veto power on naming Jack (who is mostly mine) and he had veto power on Bree (who is mostly his).

23. Who kissed who first?
Pretty sure we were both there for that.

24. Who asked who out?
He's the one who suggested we go out. Why not give it a shot, he said, since the rumor mill was so en fuego about us having an affair. Turns out folks from the future knew what they were talking about.

25. What did you do on your first date?
Gosh...I think maybe we went bowling or to a movie. I honestly don't remember. I think that means I lose my girl card.

26. Who's more sensitive?
Me, though it grieves me to say so.

27. Who's taller?
Not hard to be taller than me.

28. Who has more friends?
He does.

29. Who has more siblings?
We're both the eldest and have one sibling about four years younger -- he's got a sister and I've got a brother.

30. Who wears the pants in the relationship?
Uh. We generally are trying to get each other out of our pants, thank you.
