I can definitely be both...depends on the day

My DH is much more high maintenance than I am. There are days I wish he would take more care of *me* but he's still pretty selfish at times.

@runnerd: My husband keeps me in check too. If i start throwing things out of proportion, he's quick to tell me like it is.

I would say most of the time I'm low maintenance. I think we're a pretty easy going couple.

Low-hate wearing make up, don't get dressed up to go out, will do things on a whim, extremely independent.

@Mrs. Pen: Since meeting DH, it's the first time in my adult life that I've been so dependent on someone else...and it's weird for me sometimes, but all in all it's a really nice feeling. With my ex, it was like having another child, and I had to be on top of everything and it was so exhausting. Now, I take care of DS and the cats, and DH takes care of me (and provides for all of us), and it's taken me a while to let go and let him take care of me, but at the same time I do like being dependent on him.

I'm high maintenance. I need a lot of communication and attention but not in a bad way. DH is the same way.

I am beyond low maintenance to the point where DH appreciates it but I think it might be almost off putting. I love being married to him, but I value my me time and having space, time and a world apart from him. I was the one who went to India three weeks by myself before we TTC because I wanted to do something for me before we started down that path. I love being married, but I would be fine if I wasn't. I don't know if that makes any sense.

Probably more low maintenance. I like when DH does things for me but I don't find myself to be clingy or demanding.

We are both low maintenance.

I'm totally low maintenance. The only thing I struggle with is loud talking but I know I married a loud talker!

Edited to add that the worst thing is when someone thinks they're low but they're really high. I just checked with the mister and he agrees I'm low.

@Mrs. Jacks: haha like in How Harry Met Sally?

Low maintenance. I don't like depending on anyone else for anything.

I'm high maintenance, and I don't mind admitting it! lol! I have a lot of expectations but I think DH is high maintenance too so we just work to maintain each other. Things get a little hairy in the Prettyhousehold when we're both feeling petulant! lol!

I'm rather low maintenance, but like thanks and praise. My husband is very needy.

I'm not sure! What are the definitions?? Lol!

I'm totally high maintenance. I love having my DH pay attention to me!

I think I'm really low maintenance. A lot of things that would drive other women crazy, I don't really care about. But of the things I do care about - DH has to watch out because I won't let it slide. But it's mostly emotional matters, values, etc. So I'm particular about certain things, but I wouldn't call it high maintenance.
