Beau says he’s not always RIGHT, but he is always PRECISE.
And he is. He’s much more detail-oriented than I am - he balances his checkbook to the PENNY, whereas I just ‘round up’ my entries and have never bounced a check. ;)
I’m more slapdash and, ‘good enough is good enough.’
Sometimes I’ll say something incorrect on purpose, or give him a ‘wrong’ answer, just to watch the wheels turn in his head, LOL!
Men talk in straight lines.
Women talk in circles.
There are times when I’m too precise for my own good. I have learned that being a perfectionist can be a problem. When we moved to Indiana, it was on a tight time-table, so I didn’t have the luxury of having things done the way I liked. I learned that “good enough” was very helpful in getting the job done, and the rest could be sorted out later.
Truthfully, while I enjoy being right most of the time, I don’t like to be right ALL of the time. It’s too exhausting and people resent you if you’re right “too” much. So I find it helpful for matrimonial longevity to be wrong sometimes, and point it out every time Mr. FF is right. Positive reinforcement works wonders.
