splitting every individual task is a really unlikely way for things to work out, that’s normal. like i’m more than happy to do all the prep and cooking myself if someone else commits to keeping on top of the dishes
i knew a couple that was about as close to this as you can get a while ago, except it mostly had to do with money. when they said they split everything 50/50 they f’ing meant it.
you eat a scoop of ice cream the other person bought? calculate the cost and how much you ate and pay them for it.
didn’t take turns going to the grocery store? pay the other person for the gas they spent going twice in a row as well as for anything they bought that will be shared.
the other person did laundry and you asked them to help do some of yours? calculate the time they spent and pay them for that, along with the water and the detergent.
They actually took vacations alone because they would fight over the cost of whichever thing the other wanted to do not being worth it for the other person.
they fucking lived this way. everyone who knew them thought they were absolutely insane. then they got married and that REALLY blew everyone’s minds. we lost touch with them a few years back, don’t know if they’re still married or not.

while that sounds like actual hell to me, glad they both found someone to match their freak i guess???
that was always what i said after we spent any amount of time with them… “goddamn i’m glad we don’t live like that… i’d <censored> myself”
