Was just reading another thread about a DH forgetting their 10th wedding anniversary. The standard reply to the OP was "Your DH is a man, so he was bound to forget your anniversary, if you want him to do something you have to tell him..." etc etc.
But my DH is a man (last time I looked anyway [grin} and he NEVER forgets anniversaries, birthdays etc. In fact I am more likely to forget than him!
He is also tidy and does not leave his socks lying around for me to pick up etc, whereas I do!
The more I think about it, we seem to have a bit of a role reversal thing going on where he seems to have some typically feminine traits and I have some typical male traits.
But I should hasten to add that he is very 'blokey' in many other ways eg. rubbish at listening, not in touch with his emotions etc and I am typically female in many ways as well eg. need to talk to feel close, good at empathy etc.
Is this a bit weird? Is DH weird, or am I weird or are we both weird?
What is a bit weird is how we complement each other. ie he will pick up socks whereas I don't so he compensates for me. And we haven't evolved this way through living together for 10 years, I have always been like this and so has he.
