I tried to be less neurotic and insecure than I really am but I suppose everyone does that.

I pretend to be really confident. He finds women with low self esteem unattractive.

1) When my MIL and FIL were dating, her father was watching a football game. Her father asked him if he liked to watch football. He told him that "he could take or leave it." My MIL found out what a huge lie that was after she married him.
2) I said I loved dogs. While not entirely a lie...I do love dogs. I just dont want to take care of one.

I'm your husband, and I know that. And I really don't care.

I told DH that I liked outdoors-y things. Ugh. Have never lived it down. DH would live in a tent in the middle of Dupont Circle and cook his dinner over a campfire every night if you'd let him. I have a 2-day expiration date where any sort of camping is concerned.

And I hate biking.

And running.

And pretty much anything that requires physical activity.

Siiigh.

This is so stupid. Everyone has a life before their spouse came along.
