Mine used to probe for some kind of depth. I explained that I’m just not that deep. She didn’t buy it, we’re divorcing in August. Next time it’s with a pre-nup. Hey at least we can learn.
Sometimes - if indeed it's what I'm considering at the moment - I describe to her the particulars of a major computer issue at work, or the fundamentals of a stock that I'm thinking about buying...and her eyes glaze over.
Now that we've been together for 10 years or so, she doesn't ask me that question as much as she used to.
“I’m just not that deep.”
That is actually a very deep observation.
