Ive been wanting to post this one for a while but Ive gotten caught up in really good threads. We base our judgements on our current relationship status (married, single, etc), Zodiac, and so on. Do you also think about your sibling status (Oldest, Middle, Youngest)? I read a small article in the Florida Times Union newspaper a few years ago stating that relationship experts thought that it could have some impact. What do you think?

I think it could....cuz u learn from your siblings about the opposite sex (if brother & sis) and also about sharing and caring for others...your peers...youngest are usually spoiled and oldest treated differently....

Yes, that's true.... What about compatibility though. Like, the first male child having a relationship with a woman who's the middle child. From what I read then, the older turns out to want stability in relationship and looks for it all the time in some way or another. The middle child turns out to be more roaming and less commiting. The youngest may roam but then looks to be stable once in a relationship. Of course this isnt always the case but for the most part, I have noticed this personally.

I think in some instances it does especially if " favoritism " is very noticeable/ observable inside the family .

Studies shows that middle child is usually a neglected child since the attention is focus on the eldest & youngest . Also , in some culture ( like Asian ) eldest are expected to have a heavy responsibility in the family ( especially man ) which tend the eldest to be mature and responsible in their early adulthood & contrary to youngest ( in some manner ) ..

In my personal experience , its hard to be with the eldest man( I'm a middle child ) but of course , it never applies to everybody ...

Very good breakdown DRainbowbutterfly! Yes, this information was along the lines of what I read in the article. It was very interesting to me because I have paid some attention to it within the past couple of years and it does make somewhat of a difference in how the partners respond to each other in the relationship or in marriage. How they behave with each other and towards situations in their relationships.
