I think that works for us, as well. One of us puts away the food, and the other does the dishes, including loading the dishwasher. We take turns in almost all aspects of the meal prep and cleanup, though I do almost all of the procuring of the foods. It hasn’t always been this way, but that’s because children were part of the equation. Now that it’s just the two of us, we do a lot of this together, and we have fun doing it.
I doubt I could live with anyone at this point. Mid fifties and I have lived alone my entire life. I have nice properties but they are more investments for retirement and where I sleep from time to time though they have the potential to be a special homey home for someone someday, but old single guy who has spent his entire life on airplanes just doesn’t care enough anymore. Though, I rebuilt my kitchen in my current abode from scratch and it is beyond a dream kitchen, because I do enjoy the hell out of cooking.
Just the 2 of us too. About 2/3s of the time we prep and cook together. Leftovers tend to be make your own plate.
Dishwasher died at beginning of lockdown so we eat watching Jeopardy (MST) and hand wash and dry dishes together during Wheel of Fortune. It is fun.
