Of course it effected me. If i wasn't first i'd be my brother. That would quite an effect. And wife would be a man. Would have a hardy time explaining that to the family...

Nope not at all
Yes. I am the oldest And that's very apparent. I like to be in control and maybe even a little bossy. He is an only child and that has made him very tolerable with almost any situation so it works in our benefit alot of the time.
no
No
Yes he is like a big brother to me sometimes
No and no
Not as much as other ppl think it affects them. I was me personality wise when I was born. I saw my niece come into the world exactly as she is too. I cant really speak for my partner but Im guessing he's totally who he is not based on order if birth. But I could be totally wrong! ☺
Absolutely...i am a twin, and am impressed and heartened by how my partner manages and works with the unique dynamics of that sibling relationship
Yes, I think it all matters. I am the baby of 7 children... My siblings are 9 to 20 years older than me, which has always given me a relaxed, jovial way to find ways to connect with people other than pop culture or mutual perceptions. My partner is 16 years older than me and we come from different countries and backgrounds. It has been exquisite to get to know the life and present of this beautiful man. I think that without the situation of my place in my family I had not had all the tools to fully enjoy as I do the beauty of my partner.

I'm the only child. But yes it affected him in a good way, he's the oldest and is more aware and is over protective of his brothers and me.
I don't think so, He is the Oldest, Im the middle child...???
Yes. I am the middle child. Not the oldest or the youngest or the only boy. My dad was influenced by a crappy dad, and my mom was influenced by her adoption, less so birth order.
Yes, no competition, didn't give me the killer instinct that I think I would've had.
