What? You don't wear them? :-p</p> <p>It's actually a running joke between me and my DH.

I'm a planner/researcher so by the time I talk to him about something I've figured out the best course of action and he usually goes along with what I've decided. When he wears the pants things go pearshaped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387492 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:42:21 +0000 chopsuey 387492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: hahahaha great quote. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387480 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:40:43 +0000 Rubies 387480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it comes to finances, my husband makes final decisions. Everything else, I pretty much decide. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387461 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:37:09 +0000 Mrs. Pen 387461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: hahaha it's the best line in the movie!! "The man may be the head, but the woman is the neck and the neck can turn the head anyway it wants to!" bahahaha!!</p> <p>Pretty even I think - although like chopsuey, my feelings and opinions carry a lot of weight and if I contest something enough (read: whine) he gives in to me to make me happy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387457 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:35:23 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 387457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're pretty even. We each have different areas that we're in charge of, and we're both "oldests" so that way it doesn't get too lopsided. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387430 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:31:03 +0000 spaniellove 387430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me.

I am just way more high strung and I need things to be just so. My husband, on the other hand, is extremely relaxed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387350 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:18:12 +0000 banana 387350@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it comes to family matters, usually I wear the pants. When it comes to financial matters, he definitely wears the pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387349 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:18:06 +0000 MaisyMay 387349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I love that movie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387343 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:17:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 387343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have different strengths... so he organizes most of our social stuff while I do most of the research on things like finance and purchases. Thank god for him or I'd have no social life. I would just work more than I already do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387341 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:17:22 +0000 chopsuey 387341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I watched that movie a looooong time ago so I don't know! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387338 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:17:00 +0000 prettylizy 387338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make a lot of the day to day decisions, but he's the taskmaster on big things. Mostly because he's more responsible with money so he reins in my crazy ideas often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387335 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:16:36 +0000 mrbee 387335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: so you're like tbat girl's parents in big fat Greek wedding... he's the head but you're the neck? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387311 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:13:31 +0000 chopsuey 387311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty even.<br /> DH makes the final decision when it comes to family matters, but my opinion carries a lot of weight and he can't stand when I'm unhappy or upset so.. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387304 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:11:41 +0000 Turd Ferguson 387304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say it's pretty even. </p> <p>We each have our "areas" though, that we kind of handle--I usually get the final say on cleaning/laundry/house-y stuff (I've dubbed myself the official "house manager," he hates it...haaahahaha), he's fabulous with fixing/handy/social/date/travel plans, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-387298 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:10:33 +0000 MaisyMay 387298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, most of the times neither (see my post about pants).</p> <p>All kidding aside, I tend to have a fairly dominant personality, and Hubs is very accomodating, but I do try to let him take the lead as much as possible. I am a classic oldest sibling, while he has the follower characteristics of a younger sib. We try to establish a balance though. </p>
