I’ve tried rotating and splitting tasks (I do the dishes, then you do the dishes, or I start the dishes then you finish) without much luck. What seems to work well is dividing entire tasks. I do the cooking, dishes, and any outside work, you do the laundry. It works well with our differing schedules and there’s no need to keep track of what part of a task someone else has done or not done.
That doesn’t fix someone not doing their assigned task, of course.
Yeah, when you live together, on top of being a couple, you’re also a team.
You have the common goal to put food on the table and keep the home nice.
Teams work best if you divide up responsibilities, and let each person be fully responsible for their tasks.
