That I’m allowed to have boundaries and a good partner won’t cross them.
My wife taught me to cook and that I was allowed to have feelings. I taught her a bunch of computer stuff and that she was allowed to have feelings.
Not a girlfriend, but a date (that ultimately didn’t go anywhere). She was a teacher and I mentioned despite being a software engineer and having to take up to Calc 2 in university, I never actually learned long division. So, she taught me.
Only up to calc 2?! Why did they make me take Calc 3, Numerical Analysis, Discrete Math, and Sets and Logic?!
Some of those I understand complaining about but honestly Sets & Logic is a great class for a programmer. I wish that was in the standard math path so that everyone got a little of it in high school, the closest I got was doing proofs in geometry which while that is a sort of logic training it doesn’t really teach you how to make use of anything.
Also, depending what you’re building exactly, advanced Calc and Numerical Analysis may be very useful and/or required to perform. Especially if you’re trying to accurately model something that happens in meatspace.
Same.
How did you escape the pointless toil that is long division?
To press my index fingers and thumbs together to make a tiny aperture so you can see stars clearer at night.
Woohoo Let’s go on a date
How to put on a bra.
Taking a bra off from underneath a shirt!
My ex (though really his mom i guess) taught me you can just run a half empty dishwasher. I grew up without a lot of money, so we weren’t running the dishwasher until it was full (big family, so pretty often). But when you’re one or two people, it never fills up so I was just hand washing dishes, hating my life. They ran the dishwasher every night no matter how full or empty it was. At 9pm, the dishwasher started. It’s stupid to say it changed my life, but now I just run it whenever I want. I also run my washing machine all the time and folding half loads is so much better, I no longer hate laundry.
My wife was like this when we met. She also grew up more poor than me. I still see her washing a lot of stuff by hand that should be in the dishwasher. Old habits die hard. The unspoken agreement is when we run out of a utensil, or get down to one, we run the dishwasher.
One thing my mom taught her through me is not putting good kitchen knives or any wood through the dishwasher.
Also, wood utensils, cutting boards, etc. need oiling. Just cheap mineral oil should do.
Does him teaching me how to kiss count?
Adding salt to your ketchup when eating fries, instead of salting the fries. That way it’s always salty enough on every fry. Such an easy hack.
Wow, I’ve never heard of that, but that’s really smart.
Back massage.
How to listen to a woman’s intent over her words.
My GF in college whipped out excel and did some math in the spreadsheet while we were talking about something. So I decided to learn excel and that’s been a super useful thing to know my whole life.
