In the past I did not bring up my spouse because I didn't have one,
and though I didn't go out of my way to announce my religion or where I was born, etc, it sometimes came up and I didn't get all out of sorts that it did. I may have even talked about my cats and that yes, I have 3 siblings.

However, now that my wife and I have "solved" the 2 body problem,
if we were to move, it would be an issue. Now, it might not be an issue that a particular SC has to know about, depending on the circumstances, but it might be an issue, so I can see one of us definitely bringing it up at one point or another.

Yes but I'm hoping you don't find out until after you've hired me.

I've wondered about this with a few of our applicants...

It's not procrastination. It's "just in time" delivery.

"I'm a serial monogamous killer" just sounds so much more committed (and commitment is big when being interviewed).
