Yeah - there is that "perfect" thing. If H did the dishes my head would say "He's doing that because he's annoyed I didn't" which really wasn't the case. That's a thought I am going to have to get grips with.
Cleaning - I do less and my friends still come by. Grocery shopping - I do less, cereal for dinner is fine BUT I don't "cook" anymore nor eat as well probably. Laundry - I do less because his clothes aren't here
When we ended up spending Christmas w/e together in 2010 inspite of him moving out, I did all the "wife" things and I didn't resent it but then I got undivided attention from him that w/e. I think it's to do with being appreciated...
