Do you like someone who takes the lead, or someone who's more laid back and goes with the flow?

She's currently 24 years old, academically has always been a lot smarter than me (150 IQ), always was an atheist and has already been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, level 1.

Since the time she was a little kid, she always like questioning everything, even when trying to fool her about Santa Claus delivering her presents. For instance she would make her conclusions about it being impossible to deliver gifts to every single kid globally, elaborating long explanations on reindeers being able to fly sleighs due to biological structures, air resistance, etc. Then she concluded a deity doesn't exist.

She had issue socializing with others at school and sometimes would get bullied for that during her earlier years. She used to get obstracized by the other girls for not speaking their topic, interrupting during conversations at times and elaborating on her topics so much. She still wants kids and marriage, though. She's very maternal and great with children. Will she have a hard time being a marriage-minded man, if possible atheist like her too?

It can be anything from using someone for pity, cheating on a partner or with your best friend's partner, lying about a major portion of your life, a husband dying in old age and never finding out one of this children isn't his, etc.

I was just reading here about a woman that cheated with her friend's boyfriend. The friend never finds out, marries another man, already has older kids and the cheater dies years later in an accient. The cheating boyfriend from her younger years literally took that to his grave. The so called ''friend'' is still in the woman's life, never confessed and likely never will.

Among the liars, users, fakes or cheaters (though some can be remorseful but usually when caught suddenly many are sorry) that are caught and exposed but how people that do that are never caught and they can even take that to their grave?

That's my brother's only secret. They've now been married for 12 years; 2 boys. Long ago when he proposed it was a prank but he couldn't go along with it anymore after noticing how emotional she got out of happiness. She never found out it was a cheap, fake ring. He never told her that either. He told her it would be upgraded because the store forgot to add a diamond.

He knew it would be over right there if he had admitted that. He turned it real instead but with an 6 months-old extension since.

Girls if you were happily married with kids, would you like to know your husband's proposal was a prank? Otherwise he's always been honesty. It's only that secret that bothers him at times. Should my brother admit to that or not? Or is that worth taking it to your grave?
