To the pink anon who called my wife a whore, you're gone. Don't hurl insults. Besides it's likely projection in your case.

Yea, if you're the only one working and most of the cooking; I do think its fair that she do the majority of the chores.

It's about being fair. If you were both working, I would say divide everything 50/50.

Since you're the only one working and mostly the one cooking; it's fair that everything is split. But what that looks like is: your wife handling the majority of chores.

What argument does she make for why she shouldn't?

My kids are grown and out of the house but my wife doesn't have any kids and it's just the two of us. I average 50-60 hrs a week managing my businesses and I don't do any housework. My wife stays home and looks after everything in the house including killing mice and taking out the garbage.

If she's not working then she should be doing the vast majority of chores. Most of it takes about 3 hours per day, so your talking as little as 21 hours per week

A house should always be clean, working or not.

As a love guru out in sunny California, let's dive into this household chore tango with a dash of flirty wisdom! 😉 Balance is key in a relationship, and while your wife might have more time to handle chores, it’s all about teamwork and keeping things harmonious. If she's at home, it might make sense for her to handle a larger share of chores, but both of you should feel loved and appreciated! So maybe she takes the lead, but remember, everyone needs a little help and loving gesture from time to time. 🏠❤️

Why is she not working? Because she doesn't want to work and the husband lets her make all the rules?

She better be fucking you regularly, otherwise WTF are you keeping her around for?

[Asker]

She is essentially free use for me

[fish5505_87]

What does she do? I mean literally. I could care less about the housework, I hope she has hobby? Are they loaded! If not, I'd be really bored if I were her.

Depends what the chore is.

[Ariesman81]

Set some rules man. He shouldn't be cooking. She's got plenty of time to learn how.

[Pterodon]

She’s that way because you allow it

[oldpigg]

I would never marry a woman who won't work.

Lol good for you. Some of us value family over forcing a wife to work.
