Answer 2

1) We first met at our towns police station as runaway and cops son waiting for their father.

2) Our way of being, opposite personalities, expressing ourselves, plus mutual interests is what attracted us to each other.

3) We dated for 5 years.

4) A typical date included staying at home and finding comfort in each others presence. Whether that be by playing video games, cooking, watching movies, singing, dancing, etc.

5) We decided to get married on our anniversary, winter of 2021 after 5 years of being together.

6) We lived together after a couple months of dating each other because of family issues.

7) Married life is different than how I imagined in the sense that I thought it would all be like a fairytale and we would never fight once the ring was on our fingers. The truth was since there was a sort of “seal” it became harder to make up after minor arguments because any moment felt like what if this is it? It’s similar in the sense communication did and will always play a big part. Those worries you feel as being newly weds will linger but with a good support system from your partner and friends you’ll be able to realize it doesn’t always have to be grim. It’s the same as before the only difference is you are legally bound together.

8) We don’t take on traditional roles I work more where as my partner still works but not as much as I do. I also handle a lot of the financial issues where he is more focused on maintaining the inside of the home. But at the end of the day we still do household chores together. For example I cook and he cleans the dishes, I wash clothes he folds them, I buy groceries he puts them where they belong, he keeps charge of what needs to be done, and what is needed in the house while I grab those items. There was no agreement or decision in the roles we’d have it just fell into place as we lived together before marriage and figured out what’s our individual strong suits.

9) In our marriage we really don’t have any arguments and what would be considered arguments is just trouble we have when one of our past traumas is triggered. If we have an argument I like space to think and process instead of acting right away where as he wants reassurance and physical touch to make sure I’m not mad. Our biggest argument isn’t even what caused us to squabble rather how we react to it is what causes an actual argument. I like to blow off steam somewhere else and think so I don’t say anything I don’t mean where as he wants to solve it then and there and wants reassurance that it’ll all be okay.

10) We do not have children however we want children but first we are finishing some life goals before bringing a whole new life into this world.

11) We don’t have children yet

12) Yes we both work

13) Work and marriage comes natural as we know when we wake up we’ll be there and when we go to bed we’ll still be there. We usually have time to spend with each other as our schedules align and when one of us leaves earlier or comes home later it is lonely but can also be used as time to just be alone with your thoughts and do some things like clean or shower or get something from the store real quick.

14) No children but if we did we’d hire a nanny
