    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home?
    Not unless I ask him to, and even when I do he'll push it and put it off MAJORLY.

    Cook for you?
    We've been together almost three years and he's cooked for me once, on Valentine's Day in 2010.

    Go food shopping?
    Yes.

    Give you massages when you ask?
    Yes, he's really good like that, actually.

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome?
    All the time.

    Buy his/her own clothes?!
    Yes.

    Notice the dust?
    If he does, he doesn't do anything about it.

    Take the children off so you have some free time?
    Don't have children, but he best had when we do lol.

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you?
    He comes up with lots of ideas.

    Open his/her post?
    Yes.

    Do any paperwork ever?
    He keeps his bills and is good at working out his incoming and outgoings, so I guess yes, he does.

    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? He's does the outdoor chores and only a few inside the house.

    Cook for you? Yes

    Go food shopping? Occasionally

    Give you massages when you ask? No, but mostly it's because he has arthritis

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? All the time

    Buy his/her own clothes?! Yes, he loves to shop, and he's good at shopping for me too. I've made him sit through 100's of "What Not to Wear" :-)

    Notice the dust? Never. After a few years of marriage I finally stopped nagging and decided to ignore the dust too, except for holidays!

    Take the children off so you have some free time? No kids.

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you? Like social things or events at our house ... yes he's the organizer when it's his friends or his family.

    Open his/her post? Post ... the mail? No, not usually :-)

    Do any paperwork ever? Nope, never.

    In his defense, I am the oldest child in my family, the caregiver. He is the youngest child in his family, the baby. But I knew these things about him when we married 20 1/2 years ago, so here we are!

    Does your other half:

    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? -- For the most part. And whenever I leave town without him, he super cleans the house.

    Cook for you? -- Sometimes. He used to cook more, but then I stopped eating meat and I think he doesn't know what to make me. :-)

    Go food shopping? -- Not the big weekly shopping, but he'll run to the store if we need stuff in between. Which is fine because he would do it wrong, anyway.

    Give you massages when you ask? -- Yes.

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? -- Not so much anymore. :-( Every once in a while when I get dressed up, though. I miss that.

    Buy his/her own clothes?! -- Yes.

    Notice the dust? -- Not really.

    Take the children off so you have some free time? -- N/A (But he would.)

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you? -- Depends on what you're talking about.

    Open his/her post? -- Mail? Yes.

    Do any paperwork ever? -- I don't understand this question.

    Does your other half:

    Do an equal share of the housework when he/she is home? Yes, he's very good about helping around the house. We both have full time jobs, so we need to both be helping.

    Cook for you? All the time. He probably ends up cooking more often than I do.

    Go food shopping? Yep. If I'm working, he does the shopping. If he's working, I do the shopping. If we're both off, we do it together.

    Give you massages when you ask? For a short period of time, yes :P

    Tell you you are beautiful/handsome? Once in a while.

    Buy his/her own clothes?! We're usually together when we do that stuff.

    Notice the dust? No.

    Take the children off so you have some free time? If I asked him to, he would.

    Arrange anything or is it all left to you? He arranges for all the childcare. I'm not complaining.

    Open his/her post? If he gets to it first, sure. If it's a bill, it comes to me because I handle the bills.

    Do any paperwork ever? Occasionally.

    Yes

    Cook for you?
    NO. She *can* cook, she just doesn't. Maybe a couple times over a few years. Not complaining, I actually love to cook.

    Go food shopping?
    Every time. I've been banned from it since I buy staples instead of convenience foods.

    Nope
