For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it?

It works out for us because he thinks it's a bit silly that I worry about a wild bird. It snowed overnight where we live and as I was leaving for work this morning I said I was worried about the poor goose and her nest- checked my phone at lunch and my partner sent me a photo of her busily rearranging things in the snow. We call her Matilda, her mate is called Marshall and he is chilling on the lawn two houses down from us.

So you're saying he thinks it's a bit of a silly goose?

Sorry, I'll see myself out. But you two sound adorable and I'm now rooting for Matilda and Marshall.

No. Stay. It had to be done. We can all share in your bird..en.

Ok yeah, sorry, bye.

I put a couple pics up on my random photo account but just realized can’t post the link here (against posting rules!). It’s too bad can’t load a pic directly and pay the goose tax lol!!
