Let Inga Tell You: Anything but ask for directions — It’s a common stereotype that guys won’t ask for directions. But my husband has taken it to another level. He will absolutely Not Ask For Directions Ever Under Any Circumstances Period. If I hadn’t been really aware of it before, I learned just how strongly he felt about it when I was meeting him at the downtown courthouse some years ago so that we could get our marriage license. I had looked forward to this moment for all eight years that Olof had been commuting down from the Bay Area to San Diego on weekends. Now he’d finally been able to relocate here and we were getting married.
