Hellobee Boards

When it comes to anything exterior about the house, DH has and always will have the final say. He knows more and I trust his judgment/taste.

When it comes to anything about finance, insurance, legal, all the serious stuff. DH has and always will have the final say (with my input and agreement of course). He knows more and I trust his finance background and bill handling a heck of a lot more than my financial skills.

@MrBee, I think your survey might be a bit skewed since most of those who are active commenters are probably alphas/outspoken by default. And those who aren't alphas probably thought twice about admitting so in the comments.

You should create an anonymous poll if you really want to see how many alphas you have on this site

Most things, we generally decide together. He makes most of the decisions regarding big purchases. A-He pays the bills so he has a better handle on how much we can afford to pay for something and B-He researches every little detail for months to make sure we are getting the best deal/product for our money.

This is a hard question---I truly have no answer. We decide everything together...we both heavily research things, we control the budget together... there isn't an uneven division at all. I trust that if I was ill or incapacitated, he would make whatever decision was best for me, as I would for him--that's the only time one of us would just decide something major without input from the other.
