We always discus any decisions but usually it falls on me!
I feel like I do. But I'd really like for it to be both of us really talking about decisions and communicating with each other
It's a pretty mutual thing. We discuss and arrive at a conclusion we both agree on.
Him
We make them together. We discuss everything before we decide.
We do a pretty good job of figuring things out together, but most of the time she has the final say one way or another.
Big decisions are always discussed and we usually come to an agreement if an agreement isn't reached he'll say you decide. So ultimately it falls on my shoulders.
Together we make big decisions
He does but he always asks what I think
Her. I have some limited veto powers.
I make most of the financial decisions but other major decisions we make jointly.
We have no big decisions that require being made jointly. We don't live together, aren't married, don't plan on getting married to one another & don't have any kids together. He still makes his big decisions solo or with his ex, and I do the same with my ex.
Roxxy!!
That's my kitten's name! So I love that answer!

We definitely talk through any major decisions and try to think through all the implications but at the end of the day I know you're willing to let me make the decision if need be. I appreciate that and I also appreciate that you have insights I wouldn't consider. Thankfully we usually see eye to eye on the big ones (and the small ones too) so it's simpler for us.
We ask for each others' advice. I don't think he'd make a big decision without checking with me.
