How important is ur S/o working/cooking/cleaning?

[2stepz_ahead]

I like cooking and cleaning. These are just a few things that make me feel valued. I like not having to pay for shit too. Sure that makes him feel valuable.

what dis mean

It means that I like not reaching for the check.

i have lived with my wife for over 25 years as either bf/gf or husband/wife. when u move in with ur companion chances are u will be set in ur ways. it is very important to work together and make it a smooth transition. if the she cooks better than its probably best she do the cooking. if he cleans better its probably best he do most of the cleaning. just figure out what works best for u.

my wife cooks because her grandmother always cooked and so did my mom. she was very thoughtful though and spent a whole lot of time in the kitchen with my mom to learn how to cook like her and make my favorite foods. I especially appreciate it now that my mom has passed on.

we both came from clean houses so its just natural for us both to pick up behind ourselves and clean. she hates cleaning the bathrooms so i do that and i hate making up the bed so she does that.

we both work. i think she would go crazy sitting at home all day. i know i would. she will retire before I do. we agreed on that.

smooth transition

if i make enough money then her working isnt as important (for a certain period of time) but im ocd with cleaning and im done with restaurant food for a while tryna learn to cook new/healthier dishes so gotta be on the same page with that.

I'm a SAHM so I cook and clean everyday. I also keep the bills/budget straight and do all the shopping and 99.999% of the childcare (joke). It wasn't planned for me to stay home, it just kinda morphed like that. My home and my family mean a lot to me so I just make sure both are well taken care of. Sometimes I get Suzy homemaker jokes but I shrug it off.

If you live with your significant other, cooking and cleaning should be a shared duty. Women that don't work and depend on their man is setting themselves up for failure. Depending on someone for your lively hood is stupid. Women, guys like when you reach for the check every now and then without having to ask. Not just talking on there bday or every 20 times yall eat out and u pay once. Says alot about your character and how self less you are. Just makes them want to keep you around.

First off, she gotta work and make comporable money. That there is not something im gonna compromise on.

Cooking and cleaning? We could share that. Bitch aint about to live like a guest in her own house though. But, im not about to live like a guest in my house either, so it balances out.

When we ate out before whoever it was more convenient for, paid for the food. My money is hers, hers is mine so nobody cared. But like let's say I had cash but not enough and she had a card, she would pay for the meal and I would cover the tip

Need one who does both

This one cooks (Pinterest recipes but that'll work), brigs in six figs, but don't clean shit outside the kitchen. Guess u can't have it all

If u planning to have kids with her, it's definitely something to consider. If kids involved I rather be with someone I can set a good family model with for their future (e.g., what they expect from/what should be expected of themselves in relationships).

Me and mines play our positions. She take care of most of the peripheral stuff and I take care of most of the core stuff.

She usually do the cooking but I don't mind cooking from time to time. Same with cleaning. She do that but if something is really fucked up, she know she can come to me with it and I'll handle it. I ain't tripping.

I can't not work..I need that feeling of independence. I hate not having my own money.

We both cook and he's pretty clean but I do all the major cleaning.

It's about finding the dynamic that works for you as a couple..everybody is different.

Not at all. Was raised 2 not depend on no woman from Mom's. All they gotta do 4 me is what we use them for. Anything else is icing. She just bet not have that " I ain't gonna be" attitude. I'll leave her ass.
