Aubrey Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I don't know what my kids don't know about me, but that's all probably for the best. As far as I know, I know everything about dh. I don't remember him shocking me w/ anything. But that seems to happen w/ some regularity in reverse. He was amazed to find out I was on the swim team in jr high--I can't swim. But I read the paper *very* closely, & it never said we had to know how to swim. Boy were the coaches cranky about that, though. :lol: In highschool, I was on the basketball team. I've been 5'2" since I was 12, & I really hate sports. Basketball was kind-of fun, though. I ran a marathon once. I can't remember when, but he still doesn't believe that. This is getting embarrassing. I hadn't realized all of the most unbelievable things about me were sports-related. Oh yeah. I had detention on a regular basis throughout highschool. I was always late. I don't know why he found that astonishing--maybe his school wasn't as strict about tardiness? Anyway, I didn't have a ride home until more than an hour after detention was over, so the only difference to me was that I got to sit in a chair at a table instead of in the floor by the front doors. And I tood Advertising Design & Honors Chem in highschool. Not terribly interesting & should probably be put out that he's SO surprised. But he saw me teach the kids elem chem last yr, so I guess...yeah, it's pretty surprising that I passed honors chem. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Apparently, prior to our engagement, I had failed to disclose that I had been engaged once before and proposed to on another occasion. He did not understand, until we had been married three years, exactly how deeply and profoundly I hate snakes from the core of my being! He was unaware, until we had been off the honeymoon a few days, that I was a horrible cook! Very, very bad....since then I have reformed and become quite good at it but I still do not enjoy cooking. We'd been married about ten years when someone casually mentioned my cheerleading years. He looked surprised since his general impression of me was that except for when at school or doing homework, I was ALWAYS at the piano. "Dh, sometimes a person just desperately needs a break from Brahms." Faith, married 22 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm sure that dh does not know about 70% of my life, but that percentage is so insignificant that I can't imagine anything shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBoulden Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Ha! My husband is still learning things about me! Heck, I'm still learning things about me, so how can he ever keep up?! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBoulden Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 PS- Keeping a blog has really, really helped us communicate... about my past, about everything! I mean, I am always communicating, I was always communicating, but he just wasn't always soaking it all up... Poor guy. He understands me a lot better by reading my thoughts in a coherent form there and he can (sort of) manage to keep up with all I am doing with his kids by reading it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elise1mds Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 HA! My husband and I knew next to NOTHING - not even the significant stuff - about each other when we got hitched. We had known each other three months to the day. I was 18; he was 21. Immigration was involved. It's a long story. But we're still married 10 years later, so I guess we must have known enough.

Miss Sherry Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 He didn't know that I would want to homeschool someday. But neither did I. :lol: But it was his idea to homeschool my oldest when she was Kindergarten but my idea to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pam Wilhelm Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think hubby and I know 99% about each other. I'm sure there is a thing or two......... but not much. We're really rather boring. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0mmaBuck Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 99.98% of what goes on in my head. :iagree: I would also say he only knows about 50% of my past prior to him, parts because they wouldn't interest him and parts because they are memories just for me.

Slartibartfast Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Mine knew practically everything. I am a real blabbermouth. (I suppose that is obvious isn't it?) I will have to ask him tomorrow, he is in bed atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Mine knew practically everything. I am a real blabbermouth. (I suppose that is obvious isn't it?) I will have to ask him tomorrow, he is in bed atm. I'm the same way. That's why it came as such a shock that there were things he didn't know.
