OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
The 'Other' category can involve a host of
lifestyle issues and differences that are difficult to identify before actually
living with someone on a day to day basis. And just as difficult to overcome if
they're important in someone's list of personal 'comfort requirements.'
Some things, like excessive snoring, belching or farting
are obvious. I have never believed, however, that a man should care what his
wife does late at night in the privacy of her own bedroom -- just so long as
she allows him earplugs and a fan with a three speed setting.
'Other', though, can also involve abstract things
such as Amnesia (e.g. "Just who
in the hell do you think you are?");
Vocal Impairment (e.g.
"Why don't you speak up a little?! They can barely hear you at the end of
the street!"); Mistaken Identity (e.g. "Hey, I'm not the g-d maid around
here, you know!") and the often completely disregarded but emotionally
irreparable Spelunking (e.g. "Oh!
So now we've descended to that level, have we?!")
Or, as my father used to say: 'Heh… you'll find out soon enough."
