Topic: The whole "women in the kitchen and making sandwiches" thing

In a good relationship things are split up. 50/50 would be ideal. So if the woman is good in the kitchen and the man is great taking care of the vehicles or the yard or any type of repair, why would they not do the things at what they are good at? Utilize their talents so to speak. Oh and by the way, I do know how to cook and clean my car, take care of my yard AND go shopping with my own credit cards. Admittedly fixing stuff in the house is not my strong suit, but that does not deter me from giving it a shot. Now if a guy wants to make me that sandwich, I'll be delighted.

Whatever happened to doing something for another person simply as a display of love for that person?

Whatever happened to doing something for another person simply as a display of love for that person? I can't speak for anyone else but personally between my job(s), doing renos at the house, maintenance at the house, yard work, housework, and car maintenance; I am too damn exhausted to do anything above and beyond for someone. If this makes me selfish; so be it but to me my health is number one and if that person doesn't understand it; I could care less.

Fine, I'll make my own sandwich and you can wash your own car and change the oil. It really doesn't matter to me, as long as the responsibilities a split up, who cares. Whatever our strengths and preferences are. It really would depend on the progress of the relationship, I am completely independent and have no problem with it staying that way. This is actually pretty fair. Maybe a woman (in some relationships) cook while the guys take out the trash, etc. It's not always one sided as in the OP. There is usually a trade off. But if any one (man or woman) let's the relationship be one sided...that is for them to do something about haha. Is taking out the trash or washing cars more manly than cooking? Why not just share responsibilities than try to split them up as women's or men's responsibilities?

I only went by what you said about a woman cooking and a man taking out the trash. and that was an example. You can insert whatever you feel is appropriate. That was just the first thing that came to my mind. So please don't read more into it The part I did NOT say was that one was more masculine or feminine than the other.
