Household chores like....cooking, cleaning, dishwashing etc. etc.
Yes, you love him and he loves you. The reason he wouldn't help is because he's not good at household things. No ego issues or anything. So would you live with him or marry him if he doesn't help you in household things?

Well, yea, I mean I love him why not. I wouldn't put up with a man that didn't do household chores. We would have to work some kind of agreement. If he didn't work, then I would have to teach him how to do everything. If I didn't work and he did I wouldn't care. If we both work such as my husband and I do then you reach an agreement. Durning the week I do the house work and durning the weekend my husband picks up around the house. It's just about compromise. I do feel that it is sexist to think that a woman's place is in the home. However, if I had it my way then I would stay home and raise the kids and keep my house clean. In today's society you can't necessary do that with the economy the way it is. I don't think that a man should expect a maid unless he plans on hiring one. I have to disagree w/ the person that said "it takes practice to know how to clean" COME ON ARE YOU SERIOUS?! It doesn't take practice. Why so they can do it your way? Everyone has their own cleaning style. As long as the housework gets done then it shouldn't matter.

no. I intend to have my own career and it's only fair if the household chores are evenly distributed among partners. Now, if one partner decides to stay home it's obvious that s/he does more. However, I think that even then both partners should contribute.
Nobody is "not good at household things". It all comes down to practice. Sadly, there's a rather high percentage of men that has been spoiled by their mums and hence they can barely get dressed on their own. But that doesn't mean that they CANNOT do it. If they were single, they'd find ways to do it as well. Or then they would invest into a cleaning lady. But in a marriage nobody is the "cleaning lady". It's rather convenient to claim that you're just not good at it. If you're good enough to make a mess and leave dirty dishes etc. behind you're also good enough to clean.

Why can't he learn how to do household chores. The thing is, when there are two people doing the chores, they get done twice as fast. Which leaves more time for play, together. I think a guy who isn't willing to learn, isn't trying to hard to make his women happy. Why should the women have to do it all when she gets home from work and the guy watch tv or whatever. You should definitely try and help her, she will love you even more.

No. Why? Because even if the man has to work a lot, he should still have a little time left to at least help with the household chores.

No. perchance it is you that sturdy adult males aren't any further fascinated in. Did you ever imagine of that? sturdy adult males choose to be dealt with like a guy and they have needs besides. each and every in certain situations women persons get mixed up and confuse sturdy adult males with something else. i have continually been a sturdy guy and some women persons look to mistake my kindness as a weak spot. i don't like that and that is a optimistic signal that I were given to bypass. and under no circumstances turn lower back. If i'm impressive to a lady and she is taking it with no interest I also leave her. sturdy adult males are demanding to include suggestions from and we are ill of girls persons wondering that we are 'gay' because we are impressive or taken with no interest. it really is the reason I hate being a 'sturdy guy' and that i'm attempting to regulate my techniques. i imagine that there aren't any sturdy women persons available and they are all both skanks, nags or money grabbers.

Yes I would as long as he at least picked up behind himself.
If everyone picks up behind themselves and puts things back where they got them in the first place then most of the chores are already accomplished.
Just picking up behind yourself helps out your spouse alot.
And I do believe that he should do the yard work and at least take out the trash.
And if kids are involved then I would hope that he would entertain the kids while I was catching up on household chores.

I married one!
He does other things - we compromise.
And yes he is not good at household things - i would nly end up doing it myself again so what is the point.
He does all of the manual work such as carrying shopping bags and drilling holes and lifting stuff into the house etc.

What I would do first is find out exactly which house hold chores, he is not good at. Then I would show him how to do those things. Honestly, if he could learn to do the chores and share them with me, then I could marry him.

I would marry this man if he was willing to make enough money to pay for someone else to come in and do his share, and if he was at least grown up enough to clean up after himself. You know- puts his clothes in the hamper, puts his dishes in the sink, puts away things as he finishes using them. If he is incapable of these things, no amount of love will stave off the bitterness that will come as a result of his immaturity and laziness. (Because that's all it is...)

practice makes perfect... in this case l would make him do all my house work and my parent's housework and my friend's housework - cause obviously he needs a lot of practice...
there are no excuses!
l work hard outside and l'm not willing to come home and start working for keeping the house tidy and clean while my so called "man" contribue is zero!
take some other fool to buy those excuses but not me!
