Nina cooks, I clean. Nina worked out early in our relationship that cooking great food was one way to keep a smile on my face! For my part, I am more concerned about order than she is, so it is best that I keep the place tidy!
I agree with the comments of others that in our age and time there can be no excuse for a bloke sitting on the couch and expecting his partner to do everything. A lot depends of course on what other duties each spouse has, such as paid employment, and responsibility for the kids.
My wife is currently completing a PhD full time, managing her g-mother's dementia, and takes most of the responsibility Mon-Fri for the kids. I have a very stressful job as director of a large company, but during the week I still do most of the cleaning, and on weekends I tend to spend a lot of time with the children to give Nina a break, and a chance to focus on her studies.
Nina has recently discovered Morrocan cooking.....absolutely wonderful.
