Interview with the Husband

I’ve been feeling as though this blog has been rather boring as of late. It primarily consists of my whingings and whinings of adoption from my perspective. Which I’m sure may interest some, however I’ve felt as though it needs… something a bit different. I’ve since met some interesting people throughout this “finding myself” journey, and so I thought I’d interview some people. Whether they’re connected to me, Korea or adoption, I thought it’d be nice to add other people’s words and thoughts to this blog.

So, I thought, what better way to start than with Robert?! ^_^ A while ago, I asked him to write an article for this blog about what it’s like to be married to me, in the context of adoption, Korea etc etc. However… I think he wrote something, but I’m not so sure what happened to it…

As most know, Robert is my husband. We’ve been married for almost two years (yay!). Robert is Australian. He and I met at uni. He’s a software engineer and has a PhD. He’s very good at maths (something I marvel at) and has unofficially taken up the position as my family’s computer help man. He has always been interested in technology and computer/video games. Robert and I really don’t have a lot of traditional things in common, such as favourite types of music, movies etc. But we’ve always been very good friends, we share very similar morals, we both have a weird sense of humour and we’re both very opinionated and are able to have similar sorts of “in depth” conversations (well… at least I like to think so! This could otherwise be interpreted as Robert simply listening well to me while I whinge. LOL). In his spare time, Robert enjoys playing various sorts of games (he’s currently playing Starcraft next to me), reading lengthy fantasy novels and watching (crappy ) movies. So without further ado, here are some words from Robert, in answer to some dodgy questions I e-mailed him over the weekend!

(Before I start, however, if you’d like to be interviewed on this blog, or you know someone who might want to be, please contact me!)

1. Please give a general overview of our relationship.
