I'm smiling reading him thrash about trying to square this circle...honestly as it's really not all that hard.

If they were dating, let's say and living together and sill paying for thing separately, then this feels more reasonable. in that situation, most things may still be broken down into YOURS and MINE.

If it's marriage, then unless they've got a system very unlike mine, there is only OURS. there are no MY shores and HER chores...there's just CHORES.

So if I was to decide to pay for chores to be done in the house, there would be no possibility of picking and choosing to only pay to have mine outsourced and not hers. Even suggesting there is a defined separation in them seems odd to me.
