Do you consider yourself to be a good wife/husband/partner?

I have this brilliant story about someone I used to know, her giving her OH a bj and her oversized braces causing a problem. It's really not family viewing though.

I think I'm a pretty awesome partner to be honest and my girlfriend would agree. Similarly I think she's a pretty fantastic partner as well. We both support each other emotionally, neither of us are abusive, we both work full time and take an equal share of the housework. We generally so slightly different jobs but it isn't unequal.

We both get our own time as well, couldn't be in a relationship where i didn't get any time to myself.

Ive been doing his finances since I was 18 lol (he was 27!) he has always been of the mind that if the money shows in the bank when he pops his card in then its his to spend, absolutely no thought for future DD's. Actually I dont think he even knows whats on DD, when the council tax is due or how much it is! He doesnt even know when the tax and mot are up on my car . . . or his own bike:o. Oh dear he sounds really bad, but honestly hes not, his hearts in the right place but his mind is off with the fairies :rotfl:
He happily admits if anything happened to me he would be completely stuffed and the kids would have to go to my mums each nght to be fed
Our main problem is ive always been OCD and a control freak, to not do anything was horrible. I keep thinking ive got to start teaching my 10 year old son to cook and use the washing machine as i'd be a bit ashamed to hand him over to some poor girl and he cant even wash his own pants :eek:.

I have a life similar to yours and from choice on both sides!

I am a control freak, he is very laid back. He has never read a bank statement or paid a bill, yet he has a very senior role in a multi million pound company! He does it at work and doesn't want to do it at home.

I do most of the housework and cooking, I farm out the ironing (just too many shirts!) I tell him what needs doing and he happily does it, rather than be nagged because he hasn't noticed it needs doing! He makes tea in bed every morning, and all the breakfasts, and cooks Dinner on Saturday, he does the gardening and bins etc. I do finances, holidays, birthdays, social life...he turns up!

We both work, but as I only work 3 days I am quite happy to do the bulk of the household management. It works for us, but is I suppose a quite traditional split of duties.

The three things I think I look for are:

That he considers me his equal and I consider him mine. There are some things that I am better at or that he is better at, these things are often stereotypically gender based. It's important to me that I am better at some things and that he is better at others.

That we are a team, in that we pull together and offer one another support.

That we have the same morals and outlook, but also that he can sometimes make me think about my opinions in a different way. He won't always agree with me and sometimes we'll agree to disagree, but he will always be honest with me.

I think my boyfriend is brilliant because he does lots around the house and he thinks I'm brilliant because I don't nag.

I think lots of other people wouldn't put up with either of us, but actually, we are perfect for one another.
