I don’t want my husband to do dishes, laundry or house chores. I don’t go to his job and start getting all in it. I don’t want him all in mine. The house is my job, including the lawn.

There’s no talk or fuss about this and no nasty comments being made by either of us. It works for us.

Ditto. Typically, the outside of the house, along with any repairs or "heavy" (think, furniture moving, trash dumping) work, is mine. Inside the house belongs to my lovely wife.

There are exceptions, of course. She gets the trash if I forget. I like to cook a night or two over the weekend, gives her a break. And, I'll usually clean the kitchen, muck out the fridge, run the dishwasher, etc, while I'm cooking - again, gives her a break for a bit. I know where the washing machine is, and she knows how to paint, garden, etc.

But divvying up the chores isn't hard, and frankly, we don't really give a whole lot of thought to it.

Sounds like our household.

And my husband is the best husband in the world.
