I often have to ask my W to help me prioritize things. Along with the general housekeeping stuff, where does "fixing the broken doohickey" fit? I know they are both important to her, but if fixing the broken doohickey is going to take all weekend and prevent me from cleaning my part of the house, (and if I couldn't care less if either one was or wasn't taken care of), which one gets addressed first?
I think the fact that I don't care about either one, but that I know she does, is crucial. So asking her which one is HER priority, well, isn't that kind of a loving thing to do? I think so, but you (and, unfortunately, my W) may disagree and may think it just shows that I have some sort of learning disability.
