I think things should be shared and not in the traditional way, you get to know your plus and minus and adjust to each qualities and availability. You make a very good point. What ones lacks the other can provide. As long as one person doesn't take advantage. |

What ones lacks the other can provide. As long as one person doesn't take advantage. Taking advantage? well that should be another thread all together. One other thing to is that i find people have more problems with how the other does the things then them doing it or not. If not done their way it's never done right, that's when they come behind you and redo it to their satisfaction. |

i guess i'm a little bit of both.
i'd be rather put off if my partner said to me 'the car needs oil' and wanted me to do it. or if he were home all day and i came home from work and still had to cook dinner. but i'm old-fashioned enough to want to take care of my guy, and doing stuff like his laundry and cooking for him make me feel as though i'm needed. |

One who believes all responsibilities should be shared in a household? or One who still believes in the traditional roles of a man and woman? (for example: Man cuts the grass - Woman does the laundry) Well since the workforce is shared so should the household chores be. But should be agreed upon for which chore to whom. And for me, we have as many bathrooms (4) as we had people living here (til last month) so everyone got blessed with the cleaning of 1. LOL |

There are some chores I would rather he let me do, some I'd rather he just handled, and then there are some that are great to do together.

I also like taking care of my guy. It sort of bit me in the ass in my marriage because he became spoiled and selfish.......but I'm thinking that was his problem, not mine. It's nice when someone tells you how they appreciate the things you do for them. Well since the workforce is shared so should the household chores be. But should be agreed upon for which chore to whom. And for me, we have as many bathrooms (4) as we had people living here (til last month) so everyone got blessed with the cleaning of 1. LOL 4 bathrooms!!! I'd not mind a bit cleaning my own, just because I got to have my own! |

Responsibilites in a household should be shared.

Hmmm hard choice, so I believe I'll have another beer But do you get it yourself or do you make her get it for you? the side benefit of treating a woman with kindness is that she'd anticipate your need before you even knew it, and gladly get you a beer without your even having to ask. no one wants to be 'made' to do stuff. but most of us like to help each other out, if we feel that we are validated and appreciated. |

i think things should be shared... i mean... its hard to say that the woman should still have everything done around the house these days when both usually have to work now...
i'm coming from a relationship where i was the one who worked... and the other person STILL expected me to do the dishes, the laundry, etc... things need to be SHARED or i'm out.. |
