I ask this question because most men i know think that cooking and cleaning is "so called" women's work. I think if me and my boyfriend live together, we both work, we both pay bills, we both should share cooking and cleaning. What do you think?

yes you are right^^ i think that if just guy works and girl stays home is ok she does all at home bcs he been working all day but if both work both must do the house work^^ bcs house working is tiring too not just work outside. so if both work outside both have to do home things^^ so just live with him if he is able to help you^^ both have to do your relation work^^

my husband works full time and I am a "housewife", he works very long hours. And so everyone sort of expects that when he is home, he just sits on his backside, but he is actually brilliant. We share the workload mainly. We only have a small house, and we're not exactly "clean freaks", we don't have to polish every 5 minutes and we have wooden floors so its simple to do that quickly. He works nights, but every othger weekened he is on days, so those days I do a "deep clean" of the house, but this is mainl;y boredom!!! We both cook, both clean :)

If a man and a woman live together, it doesn't matter if they are married or if they are just boyfriend and girlfriend. One person should not be saddled with doing all of the household chores. They should share in them equally. It is not the female's job do all of the housework just because she's a woman.

It's nice to stick to tradition is on the mind of all guys, any guys who respond and tell you otherwise is a liar. This is going to be 50/50.. I say he pays for more things, and you get to spend more money on you.
