[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that your example of the bathroom is a poor one -- most husbands would balk at that and refuse to clean it the next time.  One of the best pieces of marriage advice i was given was that if my husband makes the bed, don't point out that he should have fluffed the pillows.  Everyone has different standards -- and if you want it done a certain way, you either do it yourself or pay someone else.  FWIW, my husband and I do split a lot of things, but we have now outsourced cleaning and yardwork because it's something that is never done to my specs. [/quote]

Same.  I think you assume a certain level of compliance.  My boss’s wife asks him to jump and he asks how high.  My husband would never in a million years put up with being ruled by anyone like that.  It just wouldn’t happen.  The good side to that is we make joint decisions, collaborate on many things that the wife would get stuck doing (decorating), among other things. The flip side is he is not going to re-do the bathroom to meet my higher specs.  [/quote]
