Will My Husband Survive the Teen Years?
We’re sitting around the dinner table the other night when the phone rings. Three of us at the table know who it is. It’s the cute girl my 11-year-old son is ‘going out with’, the one I describe as a ‘fellow 4.0 student’ and my son describes and ‘nice’ and ‘accurate’, the one who has very good posture.
The only person in our family who doesn’t immediately know who is on the phone is my husband, John. In his best 1950s Father voice he asks, “Who could be calling so late?”
It is 6:30.
I answer the phone and tell the sweet girl that my boy will call her back. Then I tell John he may have a very difficult decade ahead.

In answer to your post title, No. He won’t. The man you are currently married to is already fading away, and the man you will be married to after he has navigated the occasionally turbulent, always entertaining waters of adolescence, will not have so much of a hint of memory as to who he was before.
It’s probably just as well. Reflecting on how ridiculously naive you were in a past life can just be embarrassing.
