    I cook, I don't mind it. Wife doesn't like to. She does other things I prefer not to. A balance if you will.

    Same for us.
    She hates cooking and it looks like a bomb went off when she's done. I hate doing laundry and it looks like a toddler folded the clothes when I'm done.
    Cooking and cleaning probably takes more time per day, but we're both happy.

    A win/win that has never been explicitly agreed to, just happened naturally.

      The same person who did the cooking when I did live alone: not me.

        My wife mostly because she doesn’t work full time and she’s an incredible cook. When she doesn’t want to then I usually grill up something.

        sounds familiar so it might have to do with Sweden then 😉

          Generally, we each cook for ourselves unless someone is sick or it's an event or something, then I do the cooking.

            I do the cooking because I enjoy it and am halfway decent at it, he does all the dishes. It's a fair trade for both of us, since he hates cooking and I'm not a fan of doing dishes.

              I do it at least 6 days of the week, I have a very intense problem-solving job and cooking something following a recipe helps me relax and blank my mind a bit.

                  Most of the time my gf does the cooking. I’m the primary breadwinner, plus she loves to cook. I do too, but she does more. I do other stuff around the house - clean up after the cats, clean floors, take out garbage - but cooking is her deal.

                      Usually whoever isn't busy with the kids at the time.

                        We kind of split it but when doing a grocery delivery subscription like hellofresh for a few weeks, I cook most of it because I find following the baby step instructions less tedious
