Congratulations! What do you think is the most important thing you guys do to stay connected?
Hm, good question! I think having similar interests really helps. Lots of time together working on the house, walking the dogs, watching movies, etc. And we've both learned to bite our tongues sometimes and which subjects are off limits (politics). Having decent jobs helps too (i'm sure this applies to all outside stressors). When i had a job that stressed me to the breaking point, i was ready to walk away from everthing, dh included, and move back yo my home state. Not a good year for us, but it was 99 percent about the job.
Glad you stuck it out then! Our hardest year was when SO was unemployed.
I'm still working on biting my tongue and being nicer sometimes.
We'll celebrate 10 years in October. I didn't know the traditional gift was aluminum until now. He'll probably get a case of beer. I'll get some random thing from the electronics dept that I have no interest in owning. We also suck at gifts!
