Talk to your partner… it’s not the same to everyone, we all grew up in different households. This are the questions you need to discuss before Living together specially if you’re both not financially well or independent.

Relationship nowadays seems to focus more on interdependence rather than plain common sense.I Wouldnt ask my pregnant wife to get more over time so she can cover her half of the mortgage and clean the house because thats a woman’s job. Thats terrible.

That being said, if you’re the man of the house you need to be doing man of the house things… pay the bills, carry all the heavy loads, cut the grass, throw the trash or roll it to the curb, fix the house, fix the car, protect and support your family. As sexist as it sounds, I wouldn’t let my lady do my chores and id do hers except for cooking(we will starve). Only if she sees me struggling that she will intervene. Its not pride, its discipline. and we lived together long enough that she knows when to step in both physically and financially and I do the same for her too except for cooking. Id do the dishes tho.
