I wanna know...Follow

give and take.

things like home maintenance, vehicals, financing, i have a good 90 percent say.
things like the kids, schooling, vacations, furniture, social outings, my wife has 100 percent authority.

depends on the situation. we are well matched with a diversity that covers just about any situation. but some day, im gona toss all those throw pillows in the garbage and swear they were stolen.......

My wife is a worrier. She sweats all the little details on just about everything. So I let her. I've tried easing her worrying but short of slipping her some anti-anxiety medicine, it just doesn't work. So she gets to pretty much run the household the way she wants. And honestly, I could care less which kind of tile she wants to use for the backsplash in the kitchen. I'll nod and say "Oooh, that one's nice" or exercise my veto powers when I have too, but otherwise she gets her way.

The exception to that is when I genuinely feel strongly about something. Then I'll make my stand (gotta pick your fights, don'tcha know), and refuse adamantly to accept anything except what I want. But that doesn't happen very often, because I really don't give fig about most stuff.
