I am divorced and sharing the work was a big issue. Not so much when I was home but when I was starting to work outside again. My ex was basically raised by wolves and I could not comprehend what he was not capable of. He was truly not capable of making a meal with several components at a reasonable time. With a lot of distance I can have some empathy, but in the middle of it. It was simply too much work. However my youngest lives with me and we are very compatible. We both like to cook and get dishes done within 2 days. Big cooking projects take us a few days. With his sisters the basic cleaning up was a huge battle, but T is very easy to work with.
Not about couples actually,
