Excuse me but I cook and clean and do other household chores. A woman isn't regulated to any specific duty in a relationship, nor is a man. Each relationship will be different because it involves two individuals, so whatever they work out to be their respective roles and duties with the relationship they have with each other, then that is what they are.
Edit: And it doesn't have to be "equal" as some people are quick to say. There are some things one person will be better at doing than the other, and some things one person would prefer to do that the other might not. So a greater load in some areas or even overall might be had by one of the people in the relationship. But as long as it is what they have decided together in some manner that this is how they want it, then that is what they should go with. What defines a person's part in any relationship is how they and the other person have agreed to define it. |

A woman's part in a relationship has absolutely nothing to do with household chores.
Time to grow up honey. |

I'm a guy and I cook and clean. I guess my relationship must be all messed up
There is no defined roles. Each person is equal. |

Dang it, why didn't someone tell me? I need to go talk to my wife of 12 years... |

Every couple has to work those things out. In some relationships the man does the cleaning and cooking while the woman works.
Just talk about it openly with your partner, and come to an arrangement you can both live with. |

Wow.....if you have relationships broken down into "parts" like that....then you aren't ready for a relationship. |

LOL. . ha ha.
If you believe that is what a woman should be doing in a relationship, Ive got some swamp land to sell you.
My husband (we both) cook, clean, and anything else that needs to be done.
I also buy him flowers |

a woman's part is not cleaning and cooking. The man and the woman are now equal, unless your living back in the 60s and 70s. Both can cook and clean, both can work, it's a new era for women, were not back in the stonage here. |

To share in everything and the man should help with the cleaning and cooking unless she does not work and does not mind doing it all. |

are you f*cking serious?
relationships are about an equal partnership. Both men and women should share in responsibilites such as cleaning, cooking, working and raising children. |

The other part pertains to being silent unless spoken to. |

Cleaning and cooking were the primary parts before the 1960's. Where have you been? Things are much more equal now. |

We start from the hypothetical fact that he actually satisfies you and treats you as you deserve, so you just want to know these facts to not screw your relationship, huh?
Being his best friend and his best lover EVER, sort of brings it all down to one word: wife!!! |

Huh? Girl, this is NOT 1850. A woman's part does not include cooking and cleaning.
A woman's and man's part is to have equal responsibilities in the relationship. If you are a better cook, you should do the cooking. My husband actually cooks a whole lot more than I do because he enjoys it.
Each relationship is different. You and your mate will have to figure out what works best for yours. |

Being an equal part, and not "staying in the kitchen". Sorry sweetheart, but it's not 1950 anymore. Women have just as much a place as a man now. Both men and women do the cooking and cleaning. Have you been caught in a time loop? Stop demonizing our gender. |
|

you are the other half cooking and cleaning is not necessary your job its about team work being a wife means being the back bone the glue that holds it all together the soother comforter the lawyer the banker the counselor being a wife is all these things but remeber that it also takes team work you cant do it alone and neither can he beside (not behind) every good man there is a strong and incredible woman and thats our job as wives |

Cleaning and Cooking is not *only* a woman's role in a relationship unless she makes it so! As with everything else in a relationship, those two duties should be shared 50/50. If you have to, do your laundry only, and only cook on alternate days. If he doesn't cook (for both of you) on the non-cooking days, go out and eat at a restauraunt (by yourself or with friends).
The *only* role in a relationship that is "For Women Only" is the birthin' of the babies...and that is only cause the guys don't have the right equipment. Everything else is 50/50. (Or negotiable, for example; if he can't boil water without completely destroying the kitchen, and I've met people of BOTH genders for whom that can be said!) |

Why can't you clean and cook? Except for having babies or some other activity that she is not physically able to perform there is no job in the relationship that can't be done by both parties.
Cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, etc. The fact that you ask the questions says that you should not be involved because you feel the need to make a list of what you do and don't have to do around the house. Live alone and just have lovers. |

cleaning and cooking are not a woman's part of the relationship, sharing your hopes, and a partner that will help you realize your dreams is a persons part of a relationship, cleaning and cooking should be shared based on abilities and time available, do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
take care |
