My hubby knew before he married me that I was not the "housewife" kind of woman. He doesn't "expect" me to do anything around the house, and he helps me with everything. Both of us work very hard full-time, although I would consider his job MORE than full-time (80 hours/week). Anyway, I do all the bills and keep the checkbook balanced, but I WANT to do that. He never expects me to cook or clean. If neither of us feels like cooking, then we go out to dinner to have takeout. We both clean the house, but we each have sections that we do. I do the bathroom and bedroom and hubby does the living area and kitchen. He does his own laundry and I do my own laundry. I guess I'm very very lucky. Sometimes he jokes that it is my "job" to do the stuff around the house, but I just remind him that if that is the case, then it's the man's "job" to bring home the bacon. Since we both bring home the bacon, we both will do the "woman" things around the house, too. .
