Search Results: living together

I have spent several years as a bachelor, not living with anyone, and I long ago learned how to be self-sufficient. I can cook and bake very well. I keep a clean house; I know how to use a vacuum cleaner and I know how to operate a mop. I also know how to shop at a grocery store and keep a well-sticked pantry. I do my own laundry (except white dress shirts) and I can sew a button on a shirt.

When I am in a relationship, my partner is also employed so I am conscious of dividing the chores evenly at home. In my current relationship, by her choice, she does all of the cooking and clean up afterwards (about 5-7 meals per week) and I do everything else except her personal laundry. That seems like a fair division to me. With previous partners, we have rotated cooking and cleanup duties, and with one partner, we did all of the chores together (e. g., we would both cook part of each meal and both help with the cleanup.)

How do you divide the chores in your household? Do you think the division you have is fair to both of you?
