Who wears the Trousers in the Family?

Just curious... Who is the boss in your relationship?

I think we make most bigger decisions together, so neither of us is the boss per se, but I think we both have areas where we tend to take the lead. I am usually more organized than he is, so I tend to take charge of anything that requires a lot of details or remembering/keeping track of many things or maintaining things (feeding pets, watering plants). He is A LOT better with money than I am, though, and he often has to reign in my spending and remind me that $10 organic strawberries probably aren't necessary (but really good though, I might add). He's also more practical than I am in other ways and he helps me stay focused (I'm a Pisces -- I could easily drift off into a world of my own imagination).

Also, he controls the TV completely. He came to the US and I handed over the remote. Lucky for me, he usually chooses good shows

Mohammed is the boss and wears the trousers.

Good one Sarah!

Well I think my husband and I are still in the early stages, deciding and doing things together. But it looks like I will be taking care of the details, which he seems to be more then happy to let me do. We kinda "feel" each other... I suggest something, and he goes along with it (probably 97% of the time)...

Well I think my husband and I are still in the early stages, deciding and doing things together. We kinda "feel" each other out... I feel we fit together like a puzzle, filling in each other's weaknesses. I let him play the chivalrous macho man in public, but in private I gladly would take over alot of the details and decision-making, while he breathes a sigh of relief. I suggest something, and he goes along with it (probably 97% of the time)... But he does control the TV remote ... and I have bend to his dislike of my wardrobe choices. Well we will see... still new at this! LOL

Amed and I normally compromise. If one of us is really insistent upon something, the other one will usually give in. We do have some bull-headed moments, though. We're both super stubborn.

No, he don't read VJ. He thinks we are a silly bunch of women. (sorry Charles!)

Seriously, what he says goes. He's the man. I'm the woman. Works out well that way. Can't imagine the chaos that would insue if we both tried to be the man, or worse yet, if we both tried to be the woman!

I think we still somewhat make the decisions together. Sometimes, I'll admit to being a bit pushy about some things though. But we both wear trousers. I hate skirts.

Remember the most innocent post on VJ can sometimes take on a life of its own
