I just have to chime in about the glasses thing -- it has gotten to the point where i unconsciously make note of where he has left his glasses so that when he asks me where they are I don't even have to look - without even thinking, I have noted where they are at all times. It is like i have a sixth sense about them, it is so odd. i am accurate about 99% of the time without even thinking. I just "know".
As for cleaning and household, our relationship is both amusing and somewhat dysfunctional. When he does something, he does such a good, thorough job, like the fridge with a toothbrush and I feel guilty. It is just that it occurs to him to take on these projects so rarely. I do the routine things like the tub and toilet and sink when they get gross enough, though I am finding my tolerance for gross is getting lower, and i am happier doing these things more. He cooks, he's an incredible chef, i do dishes. One thing we always fight about though is dishes in the sink. Once i'm done for the night after dinner, i hate having to do any remaining dishes that we have created, with snacks or cat food etc. He cant stand that i will leave dishes in the sink overnight and says i should do them - i get mad and say do them yourself and that he never cleans the toilet or tub. We have this argument about once a week.
we also fight over who is going to feed the cat - the cat is old and has to take several medicines and we give him a combo of lots of food, so the whole task takes about 15 minutes and is really annoying, especially when the cat is howling for his dinner. I think i am crazy to assume this would be any different with a kid! "But i fed the kid last night, it is not my night, you feed it[him/ her]"
