Lemme see..
Spouse 1: Born and raised in Tennessee, but the wrong damn part. 30% music compatibility (God help me, she liked Amy Grant...) Avid antique shopper. Hated sports. Loved to eat, hated to cook. Thought anything was better if it cost more than it should. Textbook codependant. Last cleaned anything the day before we got married. Tolerated my basset hound. Considered a bagel to be the perfect breakfast.
Spouse 2, current, and final: Born in Ohio but got to Dixie as damn quick as she could, so we don't count that against her. 90% music compatibility. Shares most of my interests and does not complain when I indulge the others. Both Stephen King addicts. Loves football. Textbook fiercely independent 95% of the time. Last cleaned anything about half an hour before I knew it was dirty. Dotes on my basset hound. Considers sausage gravy, biscuits, and fried taters the perfect breakfast.
