Well, I have been married 39 years and believe it or not, my husband hates to pay bills, would rather have surgery than go with me to buy my car, likes that I pick out his cars and tend to investments. He works much longer hours than I do and in his spare time likes to read, play on his computer, ski and dive. I think we evolved to an acceptable division of labor without any rancor. And he doesn't seem to be any less masculine for it nor do I seem any less feminine for it. You married the rightr person as did I it would seem.

not so much do I

Perhaps. We do have this division of labor, but here's what we do: we pick up a bottle of cheap Australian wine, jump into our Corvette convertible on a warm Saturday afternoon, and play good music. By this time, we know the tune. And it looks like you do too.
