Does your partner know you like a child?

My husband knows me very well as if I am his own child. It's like he knows me like a parent would know their child except I'm his wife.

He knows where to find me in stores because that is how well he knows me. Only time he can't find me is if I am wandering around.
I don't have a problem with this, I actually like it. Is this normal of my husband? What I mean by that is is this normal in relationships for partners to know their partners this well?

I don't know if it's typical, but I think it's quite lovely. I think most partners hope to achieve that level of knowledge, and only some succeed. Clearly, he doesn't treat you like a child, which would probably be disturbing to you. It seems that you two have established a good level of communication, and/or he's a very astute observer....very nice.
