If you lived together before getting married and you do the majority of the

I didn't get any help at all with the housework when my husband and lived together before getting married. He just was not interested in helping us advance in life. He helps me alot more now since we have advanced in life. He now sees the benefits of helping out more. We both work seven days per week also right now so it is only fair to share the work and chores here.

I never got help with housework one way or the other unless i beg and plead!!

Before I got married, we were both doing different things around the house and it became routine. Now that we're married and I'm the only one working, he does a lot of the house work and helps with the kids. Even though many people don't agree with him staying home, I think it's what works best for us. My kids don't have to go to day care and I love providing for my family. :-)

I think one purpose of cohabiting is to see how you two would fare if you are togethe. If you are already doing majority of the housework, then I don't think there is much change if you are already married. The only thing that changes when you married is you marital status and the fact that legally, you are his/her spouse and you have the right for some things like his/her salaray, some of his/her decisions, etc.

It has not changed. He didn't help much then. He does help out if I'm sick. Guys believe it is the womans job to keep the house clean and straight.
