No, we are both pretty easygoing, so much that sometimes we have a hard time getting things done.

Deep down I do have control freak tendencies, but I am learning to let them go.

Hubs is very easy going and always has been. I'm not bossy, I just know what I want. I'm always up for compromise but since hubs doesn't really care, I usually get my way. But when the hubs DOES care, he gets his way because it's so rare.

I'm bossy and he's easy-going... thank goodness!

I'm bossy with some things like cleaning. He is pretty much easy going all the time.

Hmm, I guess I can be a bit bossy, it's more that as long as his few goals are met, he really doesn't care and I do, so I end up getting my way. He does call 'executive decision' on occasion, in our house you call that when you make a choice for us that is not up for debate. I don't call them, so I guess since he does, I can say we're equally bossy, just at different times.

Hmm.. I don't know. Because when I think of 'bossy' I think 'nagging' and I'm definitely not a nag. I'm more like the neck that turns the head (DH). I'll never give him an outright 'order', but I'll say quietly to him so no one else can hear "Maybe you should help your Mom unload the groceries" and he won't even blink before running over to do it. That really sums up how we interact actually!

And I do run our household, but I'll give him a choice of how he helps out then I leave him alone about it. I can honestly say we've never fought over anything like that.

Usually easygoing but when life gets hectic there are times when I become more direct.

I'm very low maintenance and laid back, though rather obsessive about certain things. DH is somewhat more picky in general and likes giving directions/advice. His ex-wife was super high maintenance and bossy, so he really appreciates my calm, haha. We balance each other well.

This is us to a tee. I'd prefer to say I'm "assertive" rather than "bossy," and DH is SUPER laid back. I think that's why we get along so well. Although, I ask him why in the world do you want to be with someone who is "bossy!" He says I make his life interesting!

I've actually been thinking about this a lot lately, lol! And have had convos about this with like 3 people recently, including my mom and bff. Before dating my dh (we've been together 6 years now), I was always pretty quiet and not the most confident, so I would often defer to other people. I don't know if it was because of my relationship with dh, or just growing up in general (I was 22 when we met), but I've become much more assertive and confident! Dh is super laid back about most things, and I'm really easy-going too still, but I'm much more likely to take charge now. Like, last week my mom and I were shopping for a couch for her, and for some reason I was the one going up to sales people and asking her questions for her. Or the other week I was travelling overseas and met up with a friend who was also visiting there, and she let me choose where we were going for the most part because I had a better sense of direction when we were walking around and knew of more places since I'd spent more time there. In my relationship with dh though there's a lot of compromise and we take turns being bossy about different things.

I’m definitely bossy and, thankfully, DH is really easygoing. Like @jholler though my husband is not a pushover and the fact that he goes with the slow most of the time does make me really inclined to listen/go with what he wants when he does feel really strongly about something.

I would say that I am definitely bossy, and DH is really laid back. He does go out of way 99% of the time to let me get my way. But when it comes down to big decisions, he's the head of our family so he always has final say I like it that way
