Learning new things through the years

My husband as learned a few things within our 1st year of marriage:

1. To be financially responsible and saving most of his tips over spending it on useless things.

2. To be better at listening and action to be prepared for anything.

3. Being quiet when getting me upset and hearing my wrath.

I have learned a few things about him and I such as:

1. Speaking with a foul mouth when has to be firm or not wanting to hear the truth about him (not surprising till this day).

2. I have to ask for breakfast and dinner when its not ready on time whereas it was ready without asking and served.

3. He loves rich foods as I have cut out cheese and rice for the most part except at times. I have cut down my meals and getting enough fruits now a days.

4. TV and electronics take up our spare time as conversations have cut down to boating for him and what needs done around the home and financial reminders for me.

I am constantly learning new things about my FH. We have been together for about 6 years and I think I learn something new every couple of months. The most surprising was probably that he hates long trips and it is only because he doesn't like the idea of being super far from a bathroom. I grew up doing long trips so we are slowly working on this.

My FH is still azmazed at my love for playing piano, my need to keep a journal, dress up for date nights and my aversion to anything spicy, brined or pickled.

what doesn't surprise him: my moods and that i find places to eat that suit our culinary-trained tastebuds.

Oh, I assume there is much more under the surface to learn, but we have been living together for 5 years, together for just a couple months longer than that..... So we have been 100% immersed in each other's lives for a long time. I don't think I'll ever narrow down if he really dislikes some foods or not, because like a toddler, he does or doesn't like it depending on the mood he's in when I suggest it... Strange duck.

Great movie!!

Hahah that's too funny!!

I had no idea how many weird fears / aversions my husband had until we were on our honeymoon! I kept suggesting different water activities and he shot them all down - no scuba diving because he's freaked out by limited air supply (?), and a no to snorkeling because he's not a fan of open water... what??

View quoted message Hahahaha this is so funny!

You always learn so much about a person the longer you are together. I learned that my husband has thought about starting a wedding rental company after planning our wedding, he used to do graffiti and he is super picky about what he'll eat as leftovers (I'll eat pretty much anything).

I learned SOOOO much about my FH when we started living. From not knowing how to cook (he told me he cook 1st date), ketchup is his life, he hates hair (esp in the drain), scared of spider, cries when his sick.....list goes on. I feel like every year there's something new I learn about him.

Funny thing, yesterday he was surprised to learn that I know all the songs word-for-word from the movie Grease lol. This is 8 years later and he still underestimates my love for musicals

View quoted message Lol. Love this!
I relatively recently found out that my FH can't stand the smell of peaches due to one time he got really really drunk (and sick) on some kind of peach infused alcohol when he was a teenager.
So, one day when he'd gotten me particularly mad, I'd gone out to the grocery store/bakery and bought everything peach that I could :p
Peaches, peach muffins, peach cobbler, tropical (peach) airspray...
I still pat myself on the back for that one :p

I recently learned (after dating for 6.5 years) that my FH loves bees and has wanted to be a beekeeper for a long time! .... So now we are taking a beekeeping course together to take up beekeeping as a hobby

I've learned that my fiancé will never remember how to pick up his socks and put them in the laundry basket.. it's been 4.5 years of trying and I anticipate many more
