It's funny: it's pretty rare for two really stubborn people to be in a relationship... at some point, one person usually has to compromise.
Who is more stubborn, you or your SO? How do you guys usually settle your differences?

I am by far. My husband hates fighting and confrontation so he usually lets me have my way.

That is a tough one, we both can be very stubborn, but I'd say that my husband wins this one- see I am conceding to this one too. All I can say is that we are in BIG trouble with our boy's genetics.

Definitely me. I'm an irish girl thru-and thru and my pride gets the best of me. DH won't let me get away with it though so I'm trying to get better : )

Oh my we are both really stubborn. I"m an Aries my husband is a Scorpio, can you say two fire signs We each take turns compromising, once we start fighting just to fight. It can get pretty ridiculous at times, but we are getting better! We just haev to stop, take a step back, and breathe!

I guess that would be me. He can be stubborn too but I put up more of a fight!

I'm definitely the stubborn one. The hubs is laid back so often he's indifferent about stuff and I usually get my way. But when the hubs feels strongly about something (like the name of our LO, for instance) it's such a rarity that I give in.

I think the DH is. Once his mind is made up, he really doesn't ever want to budge even if a better idea comes along.

@Rubies: Yup, I agree with this. I almost always get my way because DH is laid back, but when he feels strongly, he REALLY feels strongly!

I don't think either one of us are very stubborn.. :T I always get what I want and DH always gets what he wants too.

Yeesh, we're one of those rare couples I suppose, because we're both stubborn as mules, lol! He's of Irish descent, and I'm a second generation Cuban, so our tempers do NOT mix well. And it shows in our poor LO-he's as hard-headed as the both of us! SO is a Cancer, I'm a Sagittarius, our youngest is a Virgo, and our oldest is a Taurus. Good times.
As for who compromises, it usually depends on the situation, but overall I'd say it's 50/50.

I'm more stubborn in general. DH is so laid back. I would really prefer to be like him and let more things just roll off like he does, but I guess I'm just not programmed that way

We're both pretty stubborn but usually on different things. If there is a situation where we're both being stubborn I usually end up giving in.

@Mrs.KMM: Me too! Didn't think of it as a Taurus trait, but totally right!
I definitely tend to get my way, haha. I like things "just so".

We are both very stubborn! We normally both bend a little though to settle our differences, but we really don't have many differences! DH is more relaxed in certain aspects though, so that helps balance us out (like decorating, etc)
