Birth Order: You and your partners

First born happily married to a middle child

I really do feel that people do not put enough emphasis on the birth order of their potential or existing partners. From my personal experience as a first born- i can be selfish, needy, yet very motivated to make it in the world, enthusiastic by nature, and am smart (test wise first borns just test higher) i ended up becoming married to a middle child and for us that works. He is more accomodating than i, more patient, plays peacemaker, and is less intense.
My past long-term relationships: first-born- power struggle, played the same role in social circles so even though it lasted for over fours years it didn't end in marriage
i dated the youngest before and he was alittle more laid back, need to be catered to alittle more, had a funny sense of humor. we had fun and maybe would have made it if we had met when we were older. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Thats a great profile pic

Im sorry to hear that was there a communication gap or did you guys just grow apart?

Hey I used to live in AZ - in Tucson.

Oh yeah its nice in Tucson not as hot as it is in Phoenix where im at

Hmmm...so what are thoughts on an "only" child with the middle child?

Ex was oldest child, I was a middle kid. As noted, I tended to be more accommodating than she. But, to be totally honest, I am pretty doggone good at getting what I want, though perhaps not in the most obvious of ways. Manipulative, hmmmm.... You say tomato, I say tamoto.....
