I am none of these things :) I am creative, love cooking, and sleep is my love language (LO has not quite got the memo). We balance each other out well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239274 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 11:46:50 +0000 ellewoods84 2239274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am very talkative/he is quiet. I can be a stress ball/anxious and he is much more relaxed and never gets stressed about anything. I am a high energy person and he tends to be low key. Also, he is very smart--like brainy, loves science and math and I am much more creatively driven. I tend to like to hope for the best, but he is more of a realist. We have a lot of opposite personality traits, but it works out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239259 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 11:19:44 +0000 DesertDreams88 2239259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very anxious and talkative; DH is calm and a listener. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239258 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 11:18:45 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2239258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Biggest difference? Well, I'm a woman and he's a man. That's pretty huge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239248 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 11:07:05 +0000 LilSprinkles 2239248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a hoarder and I get rid of everything, and he's messy and I like everything clean and organized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239086 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 08:03:40 +0000 mrsrain 2239086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am always looking into the future, where DH prefers to be in the present. It sucks because we are always challenging each other to get outside of our comfort zone in that regard. It's awesome because we balance each other out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239081 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 07:58:50 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2239081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He would rather relax at home and I would rather go out and do things outside the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239080 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 07:58:02 +0000 LuLu Mom 2239080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very type A, he's more go with the flow. </p> <p>I'm a liberal and he's more conservative (although he's gotten a little more left in the more recent years...must be my great debating skills hahaha) </p> <p>For the most part though we are pretty in sync with our other likes/dislikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239043 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 07:02:23 +0000 Ajsmommy 2239043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh where to begin..<br /> I'm an extrovert, he's an introvert<br /> I'm an optimist, he's a pessimist or realist as he calls it<br /> I'm an outdoor lover, he's an inside lover<br /> I'm more liberal, he's conservative<br /> But ultimately we have very similar beliefs and morals and multiple similar interests which makes us work :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2239031 Fri, 17 Jul 2015 06:42:37 +0000 SupernovaJ 2239031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: it was definitely hard for us in the beginning of our relationship but I think after so many years together you learn to accommodate to a certain extent. And like others have said, we balance each other out, we're such opposites! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238946 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 22:29:46 +0000 mediagirl 2238946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's an introvert/realist. I'm an eternal optimist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238944 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 22:17:52 +0000 ScarletBegonia 2238944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He can cook, I can't :silly: That is the best difference between us, because he knows that the food I make tastes like shit so he usually cooks!</p> <p>He's very much a "don't rock the boat" person, whereas I am not averse to conflict if it means that things will be resolved. This caused a lot of strain early in our relationship when I felt that he was "withholding" important stuff from me, that he just didn't think was important...we've worked on it a lot and it has gotten much much better - he's willing to fight now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238941 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:58:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2238941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, just about everything.</p> <p>He is very project driven, I'm relationally driven.<br /> I am spontaneous and free spirited, he is scheduled and organized and very focused.<br /> I'm creative, he's analytical.<br /> He enjoys housework. ( :shocked: :shocked: )<br /> He is granular and focuses on details, I am idealistic and look at the big picture.<br /> He sets very high expectations and sees them through, I tend to let things slide.<br /> He's incredibly mechanically minded and can literally make anything with his hands. He is sooooo good at fixing things and building things (and engineering amazing things out of nothing). I can hardly even start a lawn mower or put together an Ikea coffee table.</p> <p>We are both extroverts, though, and get super jazzed in large groups of people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238925 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:26:05 +0000 ms.line 2238925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're pretty similar, but I'm a rational thinker and over-planner. DH tends to be more emotional and impulsive. He calls me his "personal project manager." :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238920 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:21:59 +0000 Truth Bombs 2238920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly our personalities are really opposite. Both @SupernovaJ: and @lovehoneybee: 's examples are completely true for us. But we like that we balance each other out. And we share the important stuff like values and sense of humor and putting each other and our daughter first in our lives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238916 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:19:21 +0000 simplyfelicity 2238916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am more emotional/sensitive and my husband is more balanced and pragmatic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238910 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:16:02 +0000 lovehoneybee 2238910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get stressed and anxious about things (some legit, like travel planning). He tends to take a much more laid-back, "things will work out" view of the world (of course, things work out because I make them...to not be stressed and anxious :wink: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238908 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:10:39 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2238908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: i can totally understand why that would be hard!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238902 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:07:30 +0000 SupernovaJ 2238902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's a classic introvert and I'm a classic extrovert. He gets drained in social settings whereas I get energized being around other people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-biggest-difference-between-you-and-your-so#post-2238898 Thu, 16 Jul 2015 21:03:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2238898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I might say that I'm a thrill seeker and he's not, but that doesn't affect our day to day life. I would probably say I'm a pessimist and he's an optimist! We're very opposites in that way.</p> <p>What is the biggest difference between you and your SO? </p>
