You're right, I will happily continue with the laundry. He would throw everything in together and set it on HOT. I'm fussy about laundry.

We each do our own laundry.

My Dw lumps all of her stuff together and she uses hot water and bleach on everything.

My winter clothing is mostly wool, she has never figured out how to wash wool. So I do my own laundry.

I'm not. I throw everything together too, that's why I'm barred from the laundry. It's a complicated machine and in Spanish, so DH likes to be in control there. Have at it, man!

He's good with dishes (no dishwasher) and cooking too. That's what you get when you marry a 50 y/o bachelor, LOL.

He slacks off on cleaning, but maid service is so cheap here, who cares.

Once I heard: Kindness is all that matters. But, to be honest, I really miss a sharp wit and sense of humor.
SIGH, can't have it all. He is very kind.

My oven is in French, somehow I changed the language, and never got around to changing it back.


Over the years I have found that the party that cares the most about "whatever chore" is the one who inherits the chore.

Mine is the same except I like to cook but he doesn’t. But he cleans the house. I think his mom and his first girl friend taught him well.

If we're talking in general, a good sense of humor, kindness, love of animals would attract me to the person and then looks wouldn't even enter in to it for the most part.

Hey, I have a full head of (white, now) hair. I'm almost 62.
