• You keep a long stick by the bedside to rouse them from a nightmare and avoid getting lamped.
• You set of on holiday only to get 3 miles out of town, turn round and come home.
• The thought of stapling the shopping list to their forehead is the happiest moment of your day.
• Sitting down on the lavatory is designated "me time".

• you become an expert at body language and facial expressions - and know exactly what kind of day you are going to have
• you know what times of day places will be less crowded and where the best place to park the car is to be able to get in/out of that place quickly.
• you are able to point out all exits at any location at any time...and know where the most strategic spot is to be in these locations for quick escape.

You don't get upset anymore when they forget the "important" things like dates, appointments, birthdays, etc. :whistling:

 

[Pale Warrior]

• You get a text message at work asking where you are
• You learn to review the tv schedule for anything that just might, possibly, have something to trigger.
• You get used to getting up in the morning to find your OH still on line from the night before
