Excuse me but I cook and clean and do other household chores. A woman isn't regulated to any specific duty in a relationship, nor is a man. Each relationship will be different because it involves two individuals, so whatever they work out to be their respective roles and duties with the relationship they have with each other, then that is what they are.
Edit: And it doesn't have to be "equal" as some people are quick to say. There are some things one person will be better at doing than the other, and some things one person would prefer to do that the other might not. So a greater load in some areas or even overall might be had by one of the people in the relationship. But as long as it is what they have decided together in some manner that this is how they want it, then that is what they should go with. What defines a person's part in any relationship is how they and the other person have agreed to define it.

Why can't you clean and cook? Except for having babies or some other activity that she is not physically able to perform there is no job in the relationship that can't be done by both parties.
Cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, etc. The fact that you ask the questions says that you should not be involved because you feel the need to make a list of what you do and don't have to do around the house. Live alone and just have lovers.

Huh? Girl, this is NOT 1850. A woman's part does not include cooking and cleaning.
A woman's and man's part is to have equal responsibilities in the relationship. If you are a better cook, you should do the cooking. My husband actually cooks a whole lot more than I do because he enjoys it.
Each relationship is different. You and your mate will have to figure out what works best for yours.

a woman's part is not cleaning and cooking. The man and the woman are now equal, unless your living back in the 60s and 70s. Both can cook and clean, both can work, it's a new era for women, were not back in the stonage here.

Cleaning and Cooking is not *only* a woman's role in a relationship unless she makes it so! As with everything else in a relationship, those two duties should be shared 50/50. If you have to, do your laundry only, and only cook on alternate days. If he doesn't cook (for both of you) on the non-cooking days, go out and eat at a restauraunt (by yourself or with friends).
The *only* role in a relationship that is "For Women Only" is the birthin' of the babies...and that is only cause the guys don't have the right equipment. Everything else is 50/50. (Or negotiable, for example; if he can't boil water without completely destroying the kitchen, and I've met people of BOTH genders for whom that can be said!)

Every couple has to work those things out. In some relationships the man does the cleaning and cooking while the woman works.
Just talk about it openly with your partner, and come to an arrangement you can both live with.

I would have to say the brains and the foundation of a relationship. You see we have to balance not only a job, but the bills, the kids, the house, the man and the checkbook, that is the brains. I have to say we are the ones with are feet firmly on the ground which mean by the time we are 18 years old we know what we want in life and love, maybe that is why it takes so long to find Mr. Right men are always trying to figure out what they want and have excuses for all their mistakes. So we the women of a relationship pretty much take over where mom left off.

cleaning and cooking are not a woman's part of the relationship, sharing your hopes, and a partner that will help you realize your dreams is a persons part of a relationship, cleaning and cooking should be shared based on abilities and time available, do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
take care

Cleaning and cooking were the primary parts before the 1960's. Where have you been? Things are much more equal now.

The womans part of a relationship? Since when is a relationship broken into his and her? I though a realtionship meant to be equal and share all responsibilities! I guess I failed horribly in my marriage of 4 years now.....hmmm. I guess that sharing is rather silly when I could just be barefoot and pregnant doing nothing but cleaning, cooking and raising children....why would I want a career to better myself?
Sorry for the sarcasm....look relationships aren't broken into his & hers! It means you share all responsibilities equally. If that mean you wash while he drys then so be it. you see every relationship has it's give and take. In my house my hubby does the dishes while I do the laundry......we compliment eachother!
