Stop splitting your tasks.
" in a relationship is the feeling of fairness that both people have."Those who were equally sharing all the tasks, 99 percent reported that their relationship was fair," he noted."Those who had 50/50 housework, but they didn't share any tasks together? Only half of them thought their relationship was fair."
The difference in perceived fairness from sharing versus splitting chores is largely the result of how onerous or enjoyable people find certain tasks to be."Some are more enjoyable than others. Some are more isolating than others. If I get to go through the grocery shopping, I get to go out of the house, I get to interact with people, potentially, as opposed to sitting on my knees, cleaning the toilet," Carlson explained.
So even if you're both spending the same amount of time on housework or completing the same amount of tasks, the split might notfair. "I might get the three easy ones, the more fun ones, and you might get the three harder ones. So even though we're kind of splitting it up on the surface, when it comes down to it, those tasks are not equivalent," Carlson told.
"I could do the laundry on Tuesdays and Thursdays, you could do the laundry on Mondays and Wednesdays, but that requires coordination. That requires communication," he said."Good high quality relationships are built on good communication between partners, a sense of togetherness and mutual decision making."
