While the post is digressing from the original I'm finding it facinating to read.
I want to add, that DH's tested IQ levels are much higher than mine by about 30 points. Although we have our troubles - sometimes minor sometimes major. The thing that always seems to draw us back closer is that underneath everything else, we get each other.
I'm the one who will think and talk most subjects to death. DH is the one that will stay quiet on the subjest for a while (sometimes weeks) then suddenly say why don't we try... Sometimes something I've tried to put into words previously but most of the time something unique.
Thanks Grinity for that idea from Ruff. We do get each others jokes and that is probably what saved us this past year!
