[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Low drama and self-sufficient.   I don’t really care if she is financially self-sufficient, that’s not my concern and I wouldn’t mind a full time mom. But, if there are things that are on her plate (we divide things up and she is supposed to gets the taxes together or call a plumber)[b] she does it without bothering me.  [/b]I will handle the things I’m supposed to do without [b]bothering[/b] her.   Basically, I want to be married to another grownup.  [/quote]

Np Define "bother".  Does it mean not discussing the problem?  If so, than you are not ideal at all.  I have no problem calling a plumber etc but, nice to talk it over with spouse![/quote]

I'm a woman married to a man, but for me for a spouse it means not having to handhold my DH through the whole thing:

"Who should I call"?  I don't know, do some research.
"When should he come?" Again, you're handling it -- your schedule. Check the family calendar for any major conflicts.
"He came and he told me this -- does that sound right to you?"  I don't know, use your critical thinking skills.  I don't know any more about it than you.
"Is this what it should cost?"  Ask around, I don't know.

There have been tasks where my DH asks me questions every step of the way so that I think I should have just handled it myself.  Sure, if there's a major issue or something tricky, I'm happy to talk it over, but when he doesn't want to do something, he just acts helpless like a robot with no brain where I control all his movements.  Take ownership of the task![/quote]

Ha!  It reminds me of that song, "Dear Liza."  I always thought that was just a silly song until I got married.  [/quote]
