5. On Monday, it was 'his turn' to do the dishes (lets just say). It's now Wednesday and strange smells are rising from your sink. You:
A) let them sit there, eat out the rest of the week, learn to cover your nose when you walk by the kitchen and he finally gets to them on Saturday and has to use a jackhammer to remove the crusted food (serves him right!)

C) Gently remind him that it's his turn


6. Who gets the bathroom first?

15. Now that your married, you've seriously discussed:

A) having babies
B) having pets
C) having to be 'grown - ups'
D) all of the above, none of the above, or other

If you already lived with your spouse before the wedding, think if any of these things have changed since the wedding. If not, just answer as it is! I will answer in another post.

11. Name one thing of yours he's thrown out.
A pair of shoes I never wear, b/c I just didn't have the heart to do it myself.

Haven't had one yet, I'll keep you posted...

13. Who pays the bills?
He physically pays them, but I make more $, so it's mostly me that pays the bills.

We both do, but we're both extremely frugal.

A) having babies - yes, discussed that we're not yet ready and that we'll have the real discussion in a couple of years
B) having pets - yes, but decided we don't want any right now
C) having to be 'grown - ups' - We felt grown up before we were married, when we bought a house. But we're still in denial that we're grown-ups...
D) all of the above, none of the above, or other

16) Since getting married, name one new thing you've learned about your spouse.
We've been together for a long time, so I pretty much know everything - the good, the bad, the ugly...
