Thank god we don't have a lawn to mow and at least mine flushes the toilet although he does leave the empty toilet roll there without replacing (not hard to do when there's a stack of new toilet paper beside the toilet). I have the dirty clothes, shoes and dishes issue. Mine watches TV with beer in hand while I take out the rubbish. He knows his job is the bins (although he thinks it's sexist) but to him this just means taking out for the rubbish collector once a week. He used to even sit there on the couch watching me bring in bags of groceries up the stairs but I nipped this one in the bud. A lightbulb can go unchanged for weeks and other small odd jobs get left undone simply because he doesn't do it and it's horrible having to nag about these obvious and petty things, isn't it?

DH would never clean the shower in a million years!! In fact, he could live with it uncleaned forever. A long time ago when we shared a place with a flatmate, the flatmate and I would do all of the cleaning until we incorporated a plan to involve all 3 of us. It was his turn to do the kitchen dishes. Well, they sat there for almost a week and the kitchen became one huge mess. We just sort of ate and prepared our food around it until in the end, the flatmate and I could stand it no more - we came home from work to find the stench unbearable and maggots everywhere!! It was soooo disgusting. In hindsight, I should've known back then what I would be marrying.
