re: Question to married men

I cook 100% of the time. We both will clean dishes, etc. Do my own laundry. I pay almost all bills. She is an excellent cook though as well.

She cleans house more than I do, but we also have a maid that comes twice a month.

We both work a lot of hours and basically do similar jobs at different law firms, although I tend to have a more stressful job and work a little more than her. We make the same money.

She seems to appreciate what I do and she understands that I spoil her, so it's not like she just thinks she's entitled to it. She reciprocates in other ways.

Engaged not married, but I do 90% of the cooking, because i'm a better cook than her outside of a few of her signature dishes. I really enjoy cooking anyways, I think it's turning into a hobby.

She does basically everything inside except for the kitchen, which I do since i'm the cook. We both do equal amounts of laundry if I had to guess. She does the bathrooms, sweeping, mopping, dusting etc. She also does the cat litter boxes which I hate.

I do all the lawn care, lanai, garage and our vehicles.


Works well for us.

I clean the gobs of hair she leaves in the shower drain and bathroom sink.

I turn off all the fans and appliances she leaves on when she leaves a room.

I search for and find the TV remote she invariably loses under piles of clothes and blankets.

I sort out and put into recycling bins all the bottles and cans she leaves lying around the house.

I throw away all the two-week old leftovers and moulding mystery dishes she leaves in the fridge.

I throw away the full garbage bags she leaves in our 110-degree garage, where they invite hordes of cockroaches to invade and dine.

With the patience of Job, I refrain from comment when she makes some snarky remark about what a slob I am.
