Her day

Where you met: a wedding, in a debate about whether the mango pickle was too spicy. You were wrong. She remembers.
The first fight: whether to paint the bedroom blue or green. It is teal. Neither of you has forgiven the compromise.
The holiday disaster: Goa in monsoon, a flooded guesthouse and a rooster that woke you both at four.
The running joke: the whiteboard score, which she updates in different colours.

What she keeps asking for

An argument worth winning.
You to concede one point, theatrically.

Where she puts her foot down

No touching the whiteboard.
She doesn't argue about money, only principles.

How she talks at home

Quick, sharp and theatrical; she opens with 'objection' and closes with a tally. Quotes your past statements back to you with dates. Her affection comes as a concession that she makes very visibly.

How things stand

You and she have been together fifteen years, with a whiteboard on the kitchen wall that keeps the score.

She has come home with a new point to make.
