Do your husbands pull their weight around the house & help out with the daily chores or is it mainly left to you......? If it is , is that a cultural thing or is it just that you didn't use the correct training manual ....?

:) My husband who is lebanese helps with everything in the house :) he likes to have things spotless and so theres certain things i find ridiculous and he will scrub it like the oven i see a clean oven but he just wants to re clean it lol... I think it has absolutely nothing to do with culture and all to do with the man.. I dont think it has anything to do with his training because he always had house maid growing up... i think it does have to do with the wife demanding respect and letting her husband know from the beginning that she will not slave for him :)
p.s. i do love middle eastern men though and think they are much better than american men at all relationship things :)

My man helps with everything around the house. When I first met him in the beginning of us dating, I told him that I am a liberal career woman and any man in my life has to support me in whatever I do..that includes sharing the burdens, as well as the good times. He can cook, clean, hover, iron clothes and does! May I add, however, that this has been done to my intensive training that I have given him! I think a man should help around the house without question...if they don't, then it's down to us girls to give em a boot up the bottom!!,....LOL! If I ever have a son oneday, I'll teach him the same...everyone has to contribute in a household..!

Marriage ceremonies selection with societies. God recognizes all of them. between the strangest ceremonies practiced in this u . s . a . replaced into "leaping the Broom". Immigrants on the Oregon path that had to marry the place there wasn't a minister confronted waiting months till the wagon practice arrived in oregon or having an difficulty-free ceremony witnessed by employing different individuals on the wagon practice. 2 people held a brush a pair of foot off the floor the couple jumped over it. They have been then legally and formally married.

No... :(
I'm sorry to say that my hubby doesn't pull his weight around the house...the funny thing is that he helps out in other places (fixes stuff for people who ask him, take care of things they ask him to do around their houses...and no we do not have pretty lady neighbours) and when it comes to as much as changing a light bulb in our houses, he takes ages to get it done.
I don't think it's a cultural thing, cuz I look around me and my friends are all married to very "obeying" hubbies that do everything from housecleaning to taking care of the kids...so I think it's only him and I think he "lets it go" at our house cuz he knows that I will change the lightbulb, fix the vaccum cleaner, restore the closet that our dear boys took apart with a screwdriver they stole from their dad's toolbox...I even wash HIS car...so I think Aussie, that I didn't use the correct training manual...lol...but it's too late, what is done is done.

Kate....by cassuality...arent we married with the same guy??? Hmm........No........mine is older than yours.
Or may be brothers between them???
My husband is the same as Kate's one. If someone else ask him to fix or care about something, he goes inmediatelly and do it, then come home with a big smile....but I had a new air purificator in my kitchen, that had waited more than 3 months to be changed. Is not a cultural thing...it is related to each guy.
Anyways, as he isnt at home from monday till friday....I havent so much to complain about.........now !!!
EDIT...eehhhhhmmmmmmm
Bro..only for curiosity...WHAT WERE YOU DOING IN LESBIANS & GAYS CATEGORY ????????

I don't know , but in Egypt we say : ur husband is what you make him [ or something ] , and since all arabian guys are such angls so they are manipulated all the time .
kumara : forcing marty to the monitor and sit just behind him mumbling , cursing is not leting him answer if '' he so desire ''
Edit : poor marty always waiting for kumara to say something , wish you the best dude

Hahahaa!! Yes...I noticed that, too! I haven't laughed so hard in a looooooong time!!
Regarding your question, since Marty has been hanging around Lebanon again, I think I will recuse myself and let him answer himself if he so desires...
Btw...do you consider yourself trained?? Just curious...

For me , I think I will help my wife in many things in our house.
I think 70% of Egyptian doesn't help their wifes, they think its not men stuff, they think that when they help their wifes they are like her servants,
