80. The first year after I got married, my husband and I both had 90-minute commutes, in opposite directions, and we also worked opposite shifts three days a week. If we wanted to have a fight, one of us had to wake the other one up. When I tell people about this, most of them wince, but one ex-co-worker said, "Oh, I did something like that once! It was great! After that, nothing else is ever worse!"
Yeah, what she said. It's kinda like surviving a disaster with a stranger, though. You've got this connection, and commitment, without necessarily getting along with the person. After four years of marriage, a mutual friend mentioned that she'd never seen us in the same room before.
