Re: A newlywed poll...let's see if we learn anything...

answers in bold
1. Who controls the remote?
Me but lately we don’t want TV much together, :/


2. Who takes over most of the bed?
ABSOLUTELY ME! But I’m learning to share. Best part about the honeymoon a REALLY big bed so we both could stretch out!

3. Who snarfs most of the covers?
Ok, this time it’s him. The thing is I usually toss them off me anyway, so it’s good unless it’s cold then I yank them back

4. Who usually picks the movie?
We do this together we both like the same movies, when we don’t agree, we don’t see it, period

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:
B) Caved on Tuesday and washed them yourself
Then let him do my chores and just say “Hey I got the dishes babe, can you get the kitty litter?” But generally, we do the dishes together and this stuff never comes up

6. Who gets the bathroom first?
depends who needs it more. He gets up before me, so he gets it. On weekends I get up before him, so I get it. On our honeymoon he always let me ‘twinkle’ first. Hehe I love him!

7. Who takes longer to get dressed/ready when you are going out?
Generally about even. I don’t do the face and hair thing often, when I do, I start early and we end about the same time but I guess I’d say I’m longer by 15mins on those days

8. Do you have a date night? When is it? When was the last time you went out on your date night and what did you do?
What’s date night? I thought every day was a good day? Our ‘get aways’ we go to Suffern, NY and shop the Palisades Mall for a weekend

9. Married Nookie?: Better, Same, Um...different
Hrm, what’s that?

10. Name one thing of his you've thrown out.
OOH this is hard …. Nothing although that dusty Spawn figurine is bothersome to look at it’s all my baby

11. Name one thing of yours he's thrown out.
EASY, nothing! I toss out unused stuff ALL the time, donate to charity and since I moved to NY with next to nothing, there’s not a lot to worry about, Though I’m SURE my 200+ books drive him nuts

12. First newlywed 'debate/arguement/heated discussion' was about....?
Don’t remember or haven’t had one in year

13. Who pays the bills?
ME!! And the bills he pays, he pays when I tell him to and the amounts I say

14. Who spends the money?
HIM! God help me!

15. Now that your married, you've seriously discussed:
A) having babies Yes
B) having pets Got one and yes, discussed getting another
C) having to be 'grown - ups' only that we think people are silly for being mature

16) Since getting married, name one new thing you've learned about your spouse
he’s a complete and utter A$$hole without his morning coffee!
