The way I communicate has been something that we have been struggling with for quite a while. I got it from my mom. It's hard to change somthing so integral to your personality, but I am trying.
Everything has its place. I almost always put things away instead of leaving it out for later.
Ignoring Him when he gets on my nerves
Opening gifts on Christmas eve
I was brought up with a great emphasis on good grammar. He can't stand that I correct him :P
I like it cold in the house with the fan always on high
I was brought up with no sense of money and without "proper British manners"!
Breathing, it seems
Being independent and nt getting the whole tell everyone how much u spent on this or that. It annoys me that he and his family do it but I don't. I was raised that if u didn't have it, don't spend it. He wasn't.
I guess it's what I was brought up not doing,
I wasn't taught to be responsible with money, chores etc. I wasn't taught leadership etc
I wasn't encouraged to continue my passions ((art)) so I lack confidence in that
Those things my husband finds highly irritating

That is the understatement of the century. The things that I chose to fill my life with you struggle with. You're art in the end will be most important. I love the artists soul but without a bit of organization and structure it could be lost to the world. I love you my dear and we have a lot to accomplish.

I was brought up in a very close tight knit family and we rely on each other. In his family they treat each other like business partners.
