No not at all. Can't speak for my wife though.
Im the eldest soo im more responsible and mature he is the only boy soo shows alot of respect and protection for the important girls ie mom sisters in his life
I don't think it effected me. I don't think it effected her either.
I suppose it is inevitable that one's life experience is affected by birth order although I'm not sure those effects are manifested on a conscious level. L and I are each the first born in our respective families. There is probably a commonality in experience that enhance our relationship.
Me no him yes. He was the middle kid and could do nothing right
I have never thought about it
Nah on both counts
he's the eldest boy in the house, so he's more responsible than me, the last girl. Im so lazy i love hand me downs
Yes
Not as much as I would have thought.
Most definitely.
I pretty much grew up as an only child- so I was (am?) pretty sure the world revolves around me- no good. And now as a big brother, I love being around little kids.
As for him, yes. I think having a twin brother fostered his competitive spirit and thick skin :)

My birth order, yes. His, not so much. I think it was how we were both patented that screwed us up so much. LOL
Likely it made it so I don't put up with anyone's shit, like my brother. Having a twin has definitely made me more competitive. And my mom and I always felt like my brother got more attention (he's older by 25 minutes) but that might be more about his demanding personality. He acts like the world revolves around him! I'm not sure about my boyfriend. He was an only child for most his life but I'm not sure if he was really spoiled. Maybe that's why he doesn't like change haha
I think it's affected me a bit. I feel that I have to be the mature and responsible, since I was raised as the oldest. I don't think it affects the fiancé as much, even though he is also the oldest.
Yes for me. I the oldest and most aggressive. I don't this his birth order really affected him.
Don't affect me at all
