We’ve had some family issues but nothing major. She thinks my parents are quicker to help out with my brother’s family when they want/need to head out of town for fun/work despite their considerable income (SIL is a doc) to hire someone to care for the kids. I resented her desire for a degree beyond her BS being shot down by parents while at a public university where she was working as an RA to lower costs while they two years later paid for her sister’s MBA at a private university while only working during the summer and a little over holidays. Then later sis got to live in grandma & grandpa’s house rent free with two incomes sans children when we had three little ones and a single income. Beyond that, we all get along peachy.
As far a being an engineer, I do think sometimes it can be a curse based on the way we look at things. I’m a manufacturing engineer so I need to figure out how to makes lots of someone’s design precisely, cheap and fast. As a result logic is paramount and how I think first, emotion shows up much later. Fortunately I don’t have to manage anyone, I’m more of a cat in need of herding than a cat herder.
As far as the sex thing, my wife would be far more embarrassed than me if we were to speak openly about that part of our life with whomever. I’ve never been afraid of giving TMI!
