How opposite are you and your mate?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I'm a nurse of course and my boyfriend of 5yrs is a tattoo artist.

I sometimes feel weird telling fellow nurses that. I have no problem with his profession.

Just curious, anyone in similar situation?

Specializes in ER; HBOT- lots others.

i was married to a man for almost 2 yrs, together for 9. well i kicked him out when i started nsg school cuz i wasnt going to deal with his crap anymore. watching tv; playing game systems; watching bad things behind my back; taking all the overtime he could in his computer geek job. (not that that is always a bad thing for most ppl) but so much was wrong, we should have never gotten married. i was also doing volunteer paramedic for my county, and he didnt understand what i love to do. he said medical "s***" tore us apart and he hopes i am happy being a stupid nurse! coulda killed em! i am dating a guy seriously and couldnt be much happier. he understands what i do and knows i love what i do, but i cant tell him about my days! lol.. he gets nauseated when i tell him about something i learned in school one day! i have told him about prodecures, like nothing simple things we can do, and he gets lightheaded! its halarious. kinda a good thing at times that i get to "not think medical"; but at the same time, i sure wish i could tell him things. but i wouldnt trade him for the world!

lolol.. I think all nurses are attracted to the bad boy with agood heart that just need a little tlc plus you kind of have to be up for anything with a woman that carries syringes in her pocket and and has seen more private parts than howard stern.. My boyfriend still gets mad at me when i explain that he imports and exports computers... (the correct explanation is that he works for one of the biggest manufacturers of electronics and handles the carribean and south american territory) sometimes i feel like i don't understand what anyone else does but yup he's quite and borders on OCD opposites attract and by nature we need someone we can nurture by the way did i mention he's a hypochondriac

Well I have to say right now we're pretty similar in that we both work together and both drive fork lift trucks (at the moment), both love our kids and use them as an excuse to have a good laugh.... but we are different in one respect I CAN actually find a pair of socks in the morning without having to ask someone else:lol2:

My boyfriend and I are actually pretty similar. We like a lot of the same things and we're both fairly nerdy. We both like videogames and nerdy movies and such. We have similar tastes in music (although we both like some stuff that the other doesn't). One difference is that he's still in school and I'm (recently) out. We both hate cleaning. We both like learning useless facts. I can't think of any huge differences.

my husband and i both grew up in the same kind of church, we were on rival football teams in high school, he has to talk to everyone, i wave and go on, we are both licensed ministers, i yell, he's quiet, i read, he watches tv. i do hands on, wood working, tools, home improvement, he does not, i do car maintance, he don't have a clue how. i love harley's, he could care less, i drive a 4X4 pickup, he drives a compact car, i'm a huge redneck, he hates it. i'm for farming, he's lost. i grew up country, he grew up preppy! i wear jeans and flannel, he wears suits and ties, i'm a nurse, he is a funeral director/ restaurant mamager. I tell people, I help them till they're gone and then he takes care of them. i cook he cleans, i'm sloppy, he's a neat freak. We compliment each other, what he can not do, i can, and vice versa!
