Like anything, every man (and woman) and every relationship is different in what works, or doesn't. This works for us right now. In my former marriage of 30 years, he was worse in some ways and better in others. He could be pretty helpless in the kitchen or in any type of housework. Yet when I had the stroke, he helped me in ways that maybe other men would have had difficulty doing. My hubby now was a bachelor for awhile and did it all himself, so I know he can cook and do laundry!! It's just that his responsibilities are huge here at home so I don't mind doing my part. If we lived in a condo, apartment or whatever, that would probably be different.
