Happy TMI Tuesday. Valentine’s Day is this week.

Love is in the Air

1. List 3 benefits of living with your significant other.
Company and emotional support. Regular sex. Occasionally not having to do the grocery shopping.

2. Have you ever reunited with a past lover and begun a relationship? Was the latest relationship as friends or lovers?
Yes. I always liked being on good terms with an ex-lover as much for the familiarity and comfort – I was never one to burn my bridges on the way out of a relationship – as for the possibility of more sex with them. The last time this happened we were strictly platonic.

3. Do you think someone is more sexy if they regularly read books or work out regularly at a gym?
Books, obviously. That’s not to say that I have anything against regular gym attendance or exercise in general, but obviously I’m a lot hotter for someone who is intelligent and doesn’t work out much than someone who knows her latissimus from her trapezius but hasn’t learned much else.

4. How likely do you think it is that your marriage will end in divorce?
I don’t think it’s very likely. But I really wish Jill was participating this week because I kind of want to know how she’d answer this question.

5. Who has more power in your love or romantic relationship–you or your partner?
I think we’re pretty even. Our relationship isn’t a power struggle or a competition. I suppose that if there were a way to measure such a thing we might discover otherwise, but why go looking for a rift where there likely is none?

Bonus: Describe the best Valentine’s Day you’ve ever had.
As someone who doesn’t remotely give a fuck about Valentine’s Day, I expected this to be a more difficult question to answer. But I think the best Valentine’s Day I can remember was the one when Jill and I were living apart and Valentine’s Day fell on a weekday, so she took the following day off of work and drove up to where I was living so we could spend the night together. It was a sweet, much appreciated gesture.
