    Just looking for a gauge really!

    Does your other half:

    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Nope, but that's okay because I stay at home and he works. :)

    Cook for you? Once in a while, and he helps me sometimes, but I do most of the cooking.

    Go food shopping? We usually go together as a family with our son. :)

    Give you massages when you ask? Not typically. LOL I usually have to beg. XD

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? All the time! I love it! :D:heart:

    Buy his/her own clothes?! Yep!

    Notice the dust? LOL Yes.

    Take the children off so you have some free time? Definitely. :heart:

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you? He does quite a lot of that, too. :heart:

    Open his/her post? Yep!

    Do any paperwork ever? He does 99% of our bills / paperwork. :laugh: I'm such a slacker.

    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Yeah, he keeps his "mancave" clean and every once in a while will do the dishes

    Cook for you? 3 - 5 times in 11 years, but cooking is my main creative outlet, so its cool

    Go food shopping? If we could live off of Mountain Dew, peanut butter cups and Skittles...so no food shopping for him..lol!

    Give you massages when you ask? He's heavy handed, so I don't ask, but in general yeah he would

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? Not in so many words, but he can't stop touching me, so I am taking that as a yes

    Buy his/her own clothes?! If it is a band shirt, he will buy it. He leaves all the other clothing to me

    Notice the dust? Nooooooo

    Take the children off so you have some free time? We don't have any atm, but if we did I know he would

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you? Planning = me, Arrange = group effort

    Open his/her post? Yeah, but usually gives it to me to take care of

    Do any paperwork ever? He will sit with me as I do it and we will discuss it

    The only think mine did on the list was tell me I was beautiful. Then again he was telling half the city they were beautiful as well.
    Thus divorced and happy!

    Just looking for a gauge really!

    Does your other half:

    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Yes, since I went back to school.

    Cook for you? No

    Go food shopping? Yes

    Give you massages when you ask? Not unless I got something to trade

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? No

    Buy his/her own clothes?! Yes, but only when I tell him there's a sale at Macy's and we are going to it. Today.

    Notice the dust? No

    Take the children off so you have some free time? Not unless I am working on a deadline or studying for something major, then he might clear out the house for an hour or two.

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you? No--I orchestrate every aspect of our lives--social, financial, medical, automotive, kids--except the children's sports, which he signs them up for and coaches like a champ.

    Open his/her post? Usually I do, unless it is clearly private or work-related and I won't know what to do with it.

    Do any paperwork ever? Never. We have a file that tells him basic things like where our money is, what his passwords are, and what insurance we have, for if I die suddenly.
