I definitely drive Mrs. Bee way more crazy. I'm an optimist, and it drives her bananas. Sometimes I'll be saying something, and I can see her head starting to explode at my overly optimistic assessment.
That said, she's a true pessimist and it does drive me crazy at times. I think I'm just better at hiding it haha!
Who drives whom crazier: you or your SO?

Lol I am the eternal optimist and DH the pessimist ...the other day I pointed out how the water in the vase was "still almost full" after a week of filling it. His reply: "It's not almost full, it's 10% empty"
I literally burst out laughing and lost it- it was the perfect example of our personalities and totally unplanned.

@char54: Haha, 10% empty!! Hilarious!
Seriously though, does the difference in 'misms impact your relationship?

Sometimes I get frustrated at always having to convince him things will be okay - and when I get down or stressed, he REALLY gets worried... Because if I'm negative things must be bad 
so i sometimes feel like I have to be the happy face.
On the other hand if we were both optimists, I think that would be difficult too. He keeps me "real" and grounded which helps to ease the disappointment when things don't work out like I'd hoped.

He has a much higher tolerance for my craziness. I get annoyed with him much more easily. But I love him to pieces : )

DH drives me pretty crazy sometimes. He has a really bad memory and it makes my life so difficult sometimes. He's also stubborn so he refuses to believe he has a bad memory.

I think DH drives me more crazy.. he is SUPER slow doing things sometimes. I always call him turtle. Then one day he said "wait... do you call me turtle because I'm slow?!" LOL.

I think we're both good at driving the other crazy! He is super klutzy/easily distracted/overeager which can get on my nerves; I'm always running late in the morning and when I'm talking I switch topics from A to B to Z really quickly, which he finds annoying.

He annoys me more, but I'm way more optimistic than he is. The joke's always been that in our relationship I'm the optimist and he's the realist.

I'm the believing optimist and he's the grouch. I'm so annoyed by it so that makes me just as negative. He drives me crazier but I think he would contest that.

DH drives me nuts because he's so damn stoic and stubborn! I'm stubborn too, but I don't possess zen-like qualities. I should drive him crazy, but because of his level 10 stoicism, he drives me crazy instead!

He drives me batty because he doesn't care about keeping the house clean like I do. And, I can tell him something 40x and he will act like I've never told him before (a story, information, a request--you name it!)
He has said I drive him nuts because when I think of doing something it always has to be right then.
