Sorry Lo.
Back to you and your sad life then. Off you go.

Just fill in the gaps.
It seems that most couples here have come to a reasonable distribution of household chores to no ill-effect on their relationship, and Lo proves that the OP premise isn't always correct
Personally, I have no desire to bare the brunt of the chores because life is too short and I spend way too much time at work.
However, there are also certain tasks that I insist on doing because I want them done in a particular way? Gob has accepted that this is just one of my foibles. (It's to do with towel folding. Don't ask.).
In all good relationships I have had, there is respect and open communication on household matters - both ways.
Though it really isnt all about me.

Re: In your hearts, you know it's true
Um Uh.... somehow I don't think this is very accurate, at least compared to your American counterparts. yes I am jealousI spend way too much time at work.
Funny story. I do a lot of the laundry folding. My wife has usually done the laundry by the time I get home from whatever AA meeting I am attending that night (I go to meetings every night) and when I get back the laundry is ready to be folded. So I go get the laundry out of the dryer and fold it. Many times it is towels and there is no problem, usually. Now being the structured German I am I always put the tag facing me in my right hand and fold the towel ends toward me so the tag faces inward. And procede to "halve" the towel after that. Well, one day she said she preffered that the tag be on the left side (after 20+ years of my folding towels). I asked her I have been doing this for 20 years and now she wants to change it? She said she has been "refolding" the towels after I did them. I then showed her how all you had to do was turn the towel "over" and the tag would be where she wanted it without having to refold. I should have kept my mouth shut(It's to do with towel folding. Don't ask.).
She tells askes, I do. Works great.In all good relationships I have had, there is respect and open communication on household matters - both ways.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

The good news: Liz did the dishes last night.
The problem: she did them while I was in the shower.
The result: I was rinsing shampoo out of my hair when the water abruptly turned freezing cold!

Re: In your hearts, you know it's true
After all that ruff and tumble, over taking out the trash; how did I get the Ex to do his chores?
Simple, I outsmarted him.
Letting the dust settle from the fight, and ending it with my shaking a finger at him and promising, "If you ever do that to me again, I'm calling the cops!"
...we still had the division of labor to deal with. His solution was easy; I La Loca should do all of it.
I reminded him that we'd discussed this before we were married, and that was not an option.
I worked just as hard as... no, as a welder, I worked harder than he, and at more overtime too!
His reply was too bad, I couldn't make him do it, "If you want the house clean, you're going to have to do it yourself!"
Realizing arguing wasn't accomplishing anything, I suddenly thought of how Marge Simpson took matters smartly into her own hands, after Homer said she should express herself with her fine home; then she served up Blinky the Three-eyed fish to Mr. Burns. I looked my Ex in the eye, and answered him defiantly with her own quote, "Alright, I will!"
I started cleaning immediately; there was clutter every where that had been ignored, following the ruckus. It was easy enough to seperate my mess from his mess, too. My mess I properly put away; but if it was his mess ~TOSS~ I threw it onto his office chair in front of the computer, in a nice satisfying pile.
His dirty clothes, his used dishes, his various discards ~crash~ onto his chair, until it was so covered in refuse, it was unsittable
The Ex said not a word, but quietly put his things away so, he could do his evening's computating...
The next day, after we'd both returned from work, and had supper; when it was time to clean up, I did the same thing again: his dishes ~smash~ on his chair, his laundry, tools, toys etc. all dumped and smothering his spot. Lastly, I decided to vacuum, when it was full, promptly I pulled out the canister, and you guessed it- emptied it all over his stuff.
At last, he cried out, "What are you doing!?"
"I'm cleaning up, getting your stuff out of my way. If you want me to do all the housework; this is how I'm going to do it!"
The cleaning was never done that way again; as the Ex got the subtle hint about teamwork finally.
ThX Marge, who says you can't learn a thing or two from cartoons

Um yeah, sadly that marriage ended almost ten years ago. Meanwhile, it's his stalking that continues to this day, BUT that is not the same relationship, whatsoever.
Sorry to say.
