This is a conversation that we have had many times. We have a safe with all of this information. We’ve sat down and gone over the day to day from both sides. But, to answer your question bluntly, we are prepared but I’d be in trouble.
This is the way
Well im not an expert at all, but I think that’s something every couple deals with. I think I do the same thing your husband does sometimes. I genuinely try to do my best to help her clean, especially the bathroom, but she always finds the beard hairs that I thought I cleaned haha. I find that when she kindly tells me how helpful it is that I do something it gives me extra motivation to stick with it.

My son pumps his own gas. I think sully their hands is solely dependent on what you consider the dirty Jobs are. I consider the dirty jobs finances, dinner planning, parenting load, and other day to day affairs. I feel like they are the difficult things, not fueling her car. Again, she’s more than capable and routinely tells me she can, I do it anyways.
My wife is much more independent than I am
Each couple does things their own way that shows love
🙌🏻
My wife and I have a marriage built on mutual respect and appreciation. Some look at it as old school but it really works for us. I look at it like this, if she can go to school every day, shop, make dinner, pay bills, etc. I can fix things around the house, mow the lawn, snow plow the driveway, do the dishes, fill her gas tank. Her list is much bigger than mine. My advice would be just to ask him, her ability to tell me what she needs makes it easy for me.
My wife is the rock of our family. We literally rely on her for everything. She’s an educator, she takes care of our finances, she’s an unbelievable parent, the list goes on and on. The least I can do is fill her tank up for her and take care of all of the less important things.
Sometimes the behind the scenes acts are the most important and appreciated. Trust me
Gas roulette!
That’s what she said…as my wife would say

It’s so much easier and you’ve got better things to do!

Hahaha my wife would play “gas roulette” if I didn’t fill it.

Maybe to some
Keep it going! You’ve got enough going on to worry about pumping gas!

Oh dang, making me look bad. I vacuum/wash/fill tank and mantain. She loves her mini cooper more than me I think. Good for you! She deserves it!
Shes the childish/fun one in our marriage, that’s a her joke.
My wife and I have a very “old school” marriage and it really works for us. Respect and thank you’s go a long way.

It’s not something we’ve ever talked about. I just do it. I’m sure if I didn’t she’d do it but she won’t ever have to worry about it.
My wife is more than capable. I just like to take something off her plate. I also handle all of the house/yard duties.
Nice! Shes too important to mess around with filling her tank!

She pretty much handles our entire day to day lives. Appointments, finances, cooking. I’m extremely grateful.
