that is a tough one-
It depends on what the matter is I guess...we get along fairly well and usually have the same idea in mind-
but I would say Family issues I am usually the decsion maker and huge financial issues he tends to lead more.

I will be handling the money.. he is hopeless when it comes to bills.
I also usually make the major decisions or at leats he cant make a decision without me LOL
So I would say it is 60/40 me.

It is a very decent balance. We are both strong personalities with opinions. We both share in the division of labor in our home as well as split all expenses equally - even considering that he makes more $ than I do and always will. He has showed me how to budget my money so I do not spend frivolously. When emergencies pop up, I am prepared (most of the time)

It changes depending on what's going on. We both have our strengths and weaknesses and I ying when he yangs and vice versa..
Everyday is a crapshoot!
I agree. Depends on the day and the situation. We are very similar in many respects but oh so different in others.

We discuss everything and come to mutual agreements. 50/50. True partnership!
i have to say my relationship is like this as well. neither of us dominates the other.....

Re: What is your role in your realationship?
we truly try to make it 50/50 but lately it has been 70/30 me! FH has been working a lot of extra hours & I have been the one doing all the chores around the house & the wedding planning...Once things calm down, I am sure we will go back to 50/50

I say 60/40 me, I'm usually the more uptight, worrying person, but he grounds me, calms me down. But I do more of the thinking for tomorrow in the relationship. We pay our own bills though.

I think we are 50/50... which I like because we both really respect each other's opinions and ideas and we each cave when one of us wants something....

Re: What is your role in your realationship?
it's probably about 70/30 me. i handle all the finances and he's usually always ok with my taking the lead in major decisions. but he'll offer input if he feels strongly about it. when we bought our house, i narrowed down the choices to the ones i liked and just brought him back to those. he does do all the cooking though!

I definitely have to say I wear the pants. He says so too. I'm just a take charge type of person, but we do discuss all matters. I'm just the one who takes action.

60/40 me seems the most accurate. But I let him THINK he wears the pants. It keeps him happy...and quiet!

Re: What is your role in your realationship?
This is such a hard question. In general I would say it is 50/50, although his favorite expression is 'Yes, dear' - and he is never sarcastic when he says it, he is always very sincere. I don't make any big decisions without consulting him, but I do make little ones, as does he. He has said since we started all this wedding planning, that based on how I'm handling the savings etc, he wants me to handle all the bills and finances after we get married. I guess that would tip the scales in my direction. Yet, with the wedding planning, he is the one with the spredsheet with all the payment schedules etc on it.
