Christine the Lioness quibbed this

I’m revising the list to the top 10 essential qualities for a woman to have for longevity in putting up with Christopher (and these ARE in order, btw)

1. Patience
2. A sense of humor
3. Patience
4. Indifference toward how many people he offends on a daily basis
5. Ability to tune out when he’s droning on about tech stuff without him realizing I’ve zoned out
6. Openness to trying new things because you never know when the computer he fixed for you will be loaded with a bunch of programs you have no idea how to use
7. The ability to sacrifice your desire to cook anything but potatoes, meat, and cheese when you’re making dinner for the both of you, even when you are craving something healthy
8. Patience
9. A brain that automatically switches the incorrectly spelled words to their correct counterparts when you read his writing
10. The ability to not let your feelings be hurt when he obsesses over how hot girls with southern accents are even though you don’t have one, and other guys that aren’t dating you are telling you how hot they think you are, but you can’t bring that up because Christopher has an adverse reaction to hearing that other guys might be attracted to you unless they directly tell him they think he has a hot girlfriend
11. Patience
12. Oh wait… this was only supposed to be 10, right… oops

Among other things, Ben2, I guess I am… either that, or I like to tackle projects and challenges I have no chance of succeeding at… which would then make me, instead of patient, just an idiot…
