The husband is organized. Disturbingly so. I can't figure out how he puts up with my disorganization, although he does at times (usually late at night) wax on a bit disturbingly about how he was "sent" here to "rescue me" from "some spiral." To be fair, we both believe in the afterlife and stuff, I'm just usually slightly less specific about the whole endeavor.
I always ask, "Save me from what? You?" that ends the conversation.
Although I will say we tend to be intrigued by what we don't know about, so it's not so infrequently that a hoarder/disorganized mess will be paired up with an organizational genius and etc. I'm okay with it. I don't touch the filing system, he stays out of my closet, etc.
After he dies, I guess I will be having to up my organizational game, although honestly, I function just fine on my own. The husband would just FREAK though, if I tried to take over the bills, (I did try, once, just because he was super stressed. But, I have put my bill-paying skills in storage, until I need them, hopefully never.) I just wanted to prove to the husband that I could DO IT, I mean I raised some of a kid and got a master's degree in the process AND paid my bills, in fact when we met, it was *I* who purchased our first house, as I had the credit history to do it. He did not. LOL. Since becoming a "family person" he got much more responsible, things didn't exactly start out that way.
SO GLAD to either stick to this husband until the bitter end, or just live alone. I will have dates, boyfriends, but I am never living with another person again. It's too exhausting.
Oh, the husband came in all upset, he must REALLY be quitting because he was "paralyzed with indecision" about creating a TV antenna since we no longer have cable. "I know what to do!" he said. "I just can't wrap my brain around it! What if something goes wrong!" he said.
He is talking about pieces of wire, like coat hangers. He's an engineer. I think it's REAL. I did ask when he last smoked and he said, "I don't remember!" LOL, I'm hoping that's good, not "I just smoked one because I got all altercated about our antenna."
