Yes, and yes! Depending upon abilities, talents, what-have-you, everyone should do things, change around. This is also a matter of self-preservation. When my oldest brother's wife died, he had no clue about how to fix a meal! Often the man dies, and the woman can't balance a check book.
So, besides being fair, etc., it is a matter of being able to care for oneself.

This is a big red flag! He has become lazy and comfortable in the relationship, he also sounds like a selfish jerk! I would really take a step back and think about whether you want this for the rest of your life. You could try coming up with a compromise with him. But if you have already tried talking to him and nothing has changed then I wouldn't expect much out of him. If he does change he'd probably just end up going back to his old ways after a month or two. I would be very frustrated by this. I don't think inside work is completely a woman's job especially if you aren't happy with this set up. If I was you I'd sit down and have another CALM talk. I'd come up with a couple possible compromises and see what he says. If he still refuses then you'll either have to suck it up and live in this unbalanced house work OR leave. Maybe stop doing his laundry and start ONLY doing your dishes etc. etc. until he start appreciating all the work you do.

Men should clean the house all the time. Women should never mow the lawn, they should get someone to do it for them. Women should be pampered (and I do not mean the diapers...). Women have done everything for so long it is time for the men to do some of what we women have been doing for years.

I think everyone should share in all of the household work,if your not feeling well enough to mow the grass she should,and if the tub needs cleaning clean it,work together ,give each other a break,,,and if I have to lift the toilet sit ,why cant she put it down,,,just thought I would through that in there too,,lol

What are you talking about! I always do both at my house. My husband mows the lawn horrible, I won't let him do it. I clean the house, he does all the other heavy stuff I don't want to do......

all people in the house should sit down together and work out a chore schedule that works for eveyone. for example, i don't really like mowing lawn and my boyfriend doesn't like scrubbing the tub. so he mows and i scrub.

A family is a unit, and as long as everything is getting done it shouldn't matter who does it. My husband looks just as good at the kitchen sink as he does on the lawn tractor. ;)

How about always? I'd much rather cut the grass then dust.
