So you know how good your spouse is at their job?

A bit dark but I was reading about the Air France Flight 447 Disaster. The Co-pilot who was at the controls had his wife on board. She was a teacher so probably didn’t know much about aviation but it suddenly dawned on me that she probably felt extra safe with her DH flying. Like you do.

How accurately can you judge how good your OH is at their job?

DH does a completely different job role to me, albeit in the same industry. I don’t understand how his job is done. I couldn’t do it in a million years. It’s creative & technical. People say he is good at it so I assume they’re right but I don’t actually know that myself.

How about you?

We've got a takeaway.
When my husband makes the food it is perfect. You can always tell if someone else did the order.

He probably wasn't in the early days, to be honest. Hated his job, shy with people and prone to missing a Monday morning due to drinking too much at weekends but over 20 years has matured, honed his craft and is sought after. He won a national award last year and I was really pleased for him.

Mine is a teacher in a subject many (including me) find difficult. He helps the kids get the best results they can and for the last couple of years has been at one of the best (selective) schools in the country where they all get 8s and 9s, As and A stars and are taught beyond the curriculum. He still says he gets imposter syndrome sometimes because he is a humble person and I love that about him.
