Q&A #3

Q. How many of these questions are frequently asked?
A. This wins the question that actually is asked most often :) I haven't taken a representative survey, but I think there's a mix of questions that are natural to ask and ones that you might not think of. The art of an amusing not-actually-frequently-asked FAQ is very amusing, and often what's needed, although it does have the downside that it doesn't necessarily include the ACTUALLY most frequently asked questions. I've decided to use "Q&A" instead of "FAQ" for the moment.

Q. Do you mind if we have a massive religious/technical/political argument on your post?
A. No, that's great. Try not to get unduly annoyed by people.

Q. Are you going to get more soppy? Less soppy?
A. I'm embarrassed to admit that as well as very rational, we have been incredibly soppy. I didn't assume I would be an incredibly soppy person, but it seems if we're both happy with it we do it more and more... Sorry :) I assume it will be much the same.

Q. You seem like a really good couple, I'm glad to hear that you're settling down together.
A. Thank you! Although now you say it, I think I'd prefer "setting off on a wild adventure together" to "settling down together" but I'm certainly not quibbling :)

Q. So, are you both going to stop flirting with other women now?
A. Not necessarily, we both seem to find it quite bonding :)

Fidelity and Falling in Love

I was recently musing on different perspectives on marriage, and one in particular struck me. Romance is often cast as a game of meeting The One. Which I don't think is literally true, but probably has a lot of truth in, in the sense that a certain small fraction of people will make an excellent partnership with you, and most people will eventually meet one of them.

( Awkward musing about fidelity )
