Our last 1.5 years in Numbers
I mentioned frequently already that I have âa thing for numbersâ so today I did this little list. Not for you explicitly, but just because I had âan itchâ to do it a little bit for myself and mainly for my Master, but when I was finished I thought itâs kind of interesting and something worth sharing. SoâŚ
525 days - since our first contact
499 days - since our first date
440 days - since we moved in together and became a couple
109 days - since we married
26 days - between first contact and first date (coincidence, that He had a family europe trip planned to visit relatives in Norway, for only a month after our first contact)
60 days - between first date and moving in together
(86 days - between first contact and becoming a couple)
332 days - between moving in and wedding
(417/391 days - between first contact/date and wedding)
YeahâŚIt all happened pretty quickly between us⌠You can imagine how delighted our parents were about us marrying some foreigner from the other side of the planet after only 11 months together, haha
423 days - of the 440 since we became a couple, we spent together
17 days - we spent apart (10 days He was in Japan, 5 on a business trip (the first trip, the one to Brussels, had been cancelled), 2 I was in Cologne while He was at home)
23 hours at least - of the day that we spend together (one hour sometimes when I go shopping for groceries during His work time)
8793 km (5464 miles) - distance He traveled to be with me
777 km (482 miles) - distance I traveled to be with Him
70,726 km (43,947 miles) - distance He traveled in total during the last 1.5 years
23,726 km (14,723 miles) - distance I traveled in total during the last 1.5 years
of which 22,949 km (14,260 miles) - distance we traveled together
5 times - we moved (3 times within the city, then Canada and back)
7 cities in 3 countries - weâve been to together (not counting places we went through while travelling, only cities we actually visited)
25 - members of His family, friends and neighbors I met
5 - members of my family (4) and friend (1) He met
5 - times that we visited His family
4 - times that we visited my family (incl 1 when my mom visited us)
1 - Christmas and Birthday (each) we spent together
7 times - that I had to take off my collar (family visits and doctorâs appointments/medical reasons, and once when He filed the edges)
9 times - we had to go to a doctorâs office, clinic or hospital together (5 times because of me, 4 times because of Him)
of which 1 time - that His life, as in physical survival, was in danger (and eventually Him spending a night in the ERâs shock room and me, totally nerve wrecked, at His bedside holding His hand while He was mumbling nonsense from the morphine)
1 - stuffed animal that He got me (:
1 or 2 - times that we skipped breakfast or dinner
26 - different papers we have to file in with the German government to get Him a marriage visa (including getting our Canadian marriage acknowledged here)
1 - fight we had (during my detox)
0 - promises He made to me that He broke
1 - promise I made to Him that I broke
2 times - that I disobeyed Him (very special, complex circumstances though, not 'just becauseâ)
4 - times we went through some serious shit together, the kinds that easily and often completely tank a relationship
including 1 time - that this actually happened / break up (in the very beginning, 4 weeks after we got together), followed by a metatalk to find the problem and how to solve it
1.5 days - between break up and getting back together / that we were separated
0 - times afterwards, that anything threatened our relationship again
once - that He seriously made me cry out of sadness and desperation with something He said
once - that I seriously made Him cry out of sadness and desperation with something I said
Estimated average values (all 'per dayâ and to all applies a 'at the very leastâ)
10 - that we laugh together
including 1 time - that we play with the otherâs wedding band, then say something like 'Youâre stuck with me - foreeevaaaaa!â and then we laugh
20 - that we hug and/or kiss each other, hold hands, that I lick or chew on Him, sometimes boop His nose (and giggle), that He plays with my hair or slaps my ass, or other loving or weird expressions of affection
3 - that we have a (real) conversation (not just a few sentences) about ourselves or a topic that we both find interesting
once - that I learn something from Him that I didnât know before
5 - that I tell Him 'I love Youâ
5 - that He shows me, non verbally, 'I love Youâ in some way
5 - that He does something that causes me to say 'You are so weird! ⌠I love that about You!â, usually followed by a kiss
0.33 - that, after I asked for a specific English word, I say 'Whaaat? You donât have a word for that in English? Well in German we have an extra word for that, and itâsâŚâ
0.33 - that something reminds Him of a (weird) song and when I ask what it is, after He started singing it, He says 'Whaaat? Have you never heard of this song?!â
Prophecies (estimated Minimum values)
55 - more years that we will have together before one of us dies (probably I, because we decided that I have to die before Him since Iâm more dependant on Him than He is on me and also I couldnât deal with this kind of a loss anyway - and we just expect death/fate to abide by this decision of ours)
10/5- cats/dogs that we will have during this time
0 - breakups/divorce or relationship breaks, cases of adultery, betrayal/disloyalty or other intentional damage caused to each other
10 - more serious fights and challenging situations that we will have about something (weâre only humans after all)
lots - of tears that we will cry, weâre both emotional beings so thereâs no way around tears, but more of them of joy rather than sadness
4 - cars that we will have, consecutively (I donât like getting another car if itâs not really necessary, I form a bond with my car and drive it until it dies and then Iâm sad)
20 - sheep or alpaka that we will have at some point on the farm in Canada
hundreds - more of good and bad TV shows and movies that we will watch together and dissect for their logical flaws
thousands - of interesting, challenging, funny, serious, important, irrelevant, meaningful conversations
tens of thousands - of whiplashes, cane or crop hits, ass- and face slaps, electro shocks, and hours restrained blindfolded and/or gagged, for me :D
millions - of things that we will learn about each other during our lifetime
5 - times that I will cause some serious major fuck up (Iâm talking on the scale of accidentally burn down the house or kill the cat or cut off His or my arm or the like) that He will forgive me in the end after some sort of really nasty punishment
Iâm such an optimist (:
