He Said "The funniest person most people know is a 10(This is actually incredibly generous of him cause it's probably a 7 or 8), but I grew up with my sister Amy in my house everyday." He didn't give her a number but in my mind she's at least a 15, like up at the top with the funniest people that have ever lived.

[@amandabaker3880]

Haha, same. I controlled and kept track of our expenses for the last twenty years. He was ok with it since he knew he was horrible of keeping track of spend, receive and pay. Because he and I naturally fell into our roles, we got three cars paid off, college loans paid off, our first house and rebuilt our credit, and so much more. He is totally different now. It is now equal and balanced when discussing finances and we are starting to budget, plan, and spend monies on a balanced platform. Sometimes a spouse needs a partner to push and encourage them to stick to goals, no matter what they feel like at the moment.

My brother's best friend went to prison for shaking his baby because the baby suffered severe brain damage. They went into the army together but his friend got married quickly at 19 and had a baby the next year. The stress of the military, marriage and parenting in such a short period at such a young age was too much for him and he snapped when the baby wouldn't stop crying. It used to be a huge issue with young fathers so they had to start doing PSAs and training for it.
