Does your boyfriend/husband cook or do the house work for you?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Yes he helps, but I had to stop doing the house work for him to start helping. If I work 3 jobs 80 hours a week and he works one job with 40 hours a week and then comes home and drinks one of MY paychecks away we have BIG issues. It really did take 2 years for him to get the point. I'll be damned if I am going to do the dishes, wash the walls, scrub the tub & toilet, sweep, mop, vaccum, wash windows, dust, cook supper, clean the fridge, do all the grocery shopping, laundry, pay the bills, balance the checkbook, maintain the car and work 80 hours while he leaves his clothes around, works 40 hours and drinks.

The boyfriend works, I do the vast majority of the housework and cooking, that's what works for us. If I'm particularly ill he'll cook or pick up and insist I relax.

I don't like how you phrased it though, "does he do it FOR you". Housework isn't an inherent woman task. It should be divided equally if both work outside the home; if just one partner works than just one should focus on the housework, in my opinion.

My husband happens to be an extremely good and adventurous cook, he's never afraid to try out some new recipe he's seen or found, and he's also fully licensed in using a vacuum cleaner.
What more could a woman wish more! :)

We share, I cook, do the kitchen cleaning and laundry and he cleans the house. The only time I've vacuumed in 8 years is when he's injured bless him

no offense, but it's better for both of us if I take care of the cooking, help is welcome tho and the rest is shared and have to be shared

RJGraveyTrain · Answer

I do most of the cooking but he's home more so he does more of the cleaning. If I ask him to cook though he'll do it with no issue.

thepandabear · Answer

I never dated a guy that wouldn't do house work or cook. my father always did it and helped my mother, he even braided my hair when I was little. so, if the guy doesn't knows how to clean or cook, he better have the desire to learn.

fauchelevent · Answer

I'm a shit cook and his brother isn't the best so yeah, my boyfriend usually does our cooking. We all split the housework but I do think that I do the least of us and my boyfriend is definitely the one who enjoys it most 😂

MeghanL · Answer

My husband enjoys cooking & is an excellent cook. He could give executive chefs a run for their money. He does a lot of cooking in our home. We share the housework pretty evenly.

Justacatlady · Answer

Hell yes he does and it's great. He doesn't fold my laundry but that's okay because he doesn't fold well. He loves to cook so I just do the clean up after meals

Kitten967 · Answer

My fiancé does most of the cooking, we both do the housework

Goodnightcharlie · Answer

Our standards of clean are different but he does randomly help. He does cook sometimes and he is an amazing cook. I do the majority of it all because he works full time and I don't. Plus I like to care for him in those ways.

Soshy · Answer

I don't live with my boyfriend. When I stay at his house we take it in turns to cook. He won't let me wash up, so I do it secretly when he's not around.

Justneedtokno · Answer

Yes, it should be equal. My father cooked for me on my life and I expect my husband to also but I'm not saying I won't help him

timide · Answer

He doesn't cook. He could try but he doesn't want to learn since I know how to do it.  As for house work, he does it if I push him

He does breakfast while we cook other meals together. He tends to do most of the housework too.

alice55 · Answer

In my country guys generally don't do anything unless you push them and keep bothering them to do it. Some cook but pratically none do the housework.

My boyfriend cooks because I'm just a terrible cook lol. But I'll usually help where I can and do the dishes afterwards. We share housework but we're both lazy lol.

SarahsSummer · Answer

We don't live together but he does cook for me often.

Anonymous · Answer

My boyfriend doesn't know how to cook. He can barely warm things up in the microwave. Plus, I went vegan 2 years ago so he has no idea what to make me. He never cleans either. He might wash the dishes every blue moon but other than taking out the trash, I'm on my own. Lol

thedivingsky · Answer

He cooks the best food with cornflour, chocolate all over his hands and t shirt. And, then I am responsible to clean him with patience and love. We dance together and prepare food.

No. My girlfriend does the cooking and cleaning (and the paying as well LOL).
