Navigating a Geek Marriage?

Posted by kdawson on from the waiting-for-taco-to-weigh-in dept.

JoeLinux writes "I am soon to marry my true love (a girl! yes! they do exist!). She is a literary geek, whereas I am a gaming/Linux geek. Being the RTFM-style geeks that we are, we have been reading up on marriage, making things work, etc. Unfortunately, all of the references seem to be based around an alpha-male jock and a submissive cheerleader-style wife. A lot of the references to incompatibility in the books don't apply to us (neglect due to interest in sports, etc.). What are some of the pitfalls and successes learned in the course of a more geek-oriented marriage?"

  1. Remeber When Slashdot Use To Be Good? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    This site use to be a fairly good site to read multiple times a day for fairly serious tech/computing articles.

    The half-assed coding for the site and these idiotic 'Hi, I'm looking for advice...' crap just screams 'We just don't give a shit anymore'.

    Sure there are still a few 300+ post articles now and then but the post count on stories appears to keep dropping more and more and the site ranking for Slashdot is on a steady decline.

    It's too bad there is no single replacement for Slashdot. This place is toast.

    The poster was asking about marriage, not your silly death cult.

    And I find it really offensive that you use such language here. Your insulting (and quite ignorant) flamebait was well modded.
