Who is better in your relationship? You or your S.O.?

Cooking

Cleaning

Taking care of kid(s)

Paying bills

Remembering things

Intimacy

Being a nicer person

Who makes more money

Intimacy


I would rate your SO as being better than me on this point. She does it like she isn't getting anything at home.

I make great Cajun food, he is awesome on a grill/smoker

We both clean. If something needs to be done, we just do it. There are no set "chores".

No kids

We have separate accounts, we each pay various bills.

Remembering what? We know each other's birthdays

Both healthy from an intimacy standpoint

He is well-liked by others, but I am probably more patient.

I make more $$

Happens with age to some. I have almost no desire to go anywhere on the weekends after working 45-50 hrs during the week

Same here. My nights of staying out till 3am are over and that's ok. I would much rather wake up early and go on the water.

I still enjoy going out some, but I was more referring to the stuff we can’t avoid.. people’s/kids birthdays, different festivals we attend, concerts, etc

Also the travel. We tack a lot of our trips onto my work travel, so I take care of that.

You said "me" then you said "wife". Are those both the same or did you distinguish for a reason?

We used to do that before we had kids. I was an IT Consultant for a Fortune 500 company for about a decade. My wife used to come with me when I was going somewhere cool and she could get off work.

Why is this even a category? Decent men give it all to their wives anyways
