Hi Vee,
Hope your well,
IMHO Communication is paramount. Sommer was right in what she said in relation to this. There are many different types of relationships now, but as long as people are willing to adapt to a persons needs and its reciprocated.........it's all good.
I was married and worked 12 hours a day and my ex did not work and I really didnt do anything around the house. It was all done, except the Garden really. Having lived on my own, on and off for 8 years it's been a culture shock but if I didnt do it it would not get done. So I learned.
I have also been in a relationship where my partner was extremely messy and I did all the housework.
I guess what I'm really tryin to say is Men and Women can assume roles in their relationship, and while we may be shocked and think it's unfair in some cases, so long as both people are happy in their roles, I think it can be a very good relationship.
If the 2
people continue to communicate and respect each other needs............it's all good.
Vinny
P.S. I hate hoovering
