Probably he was raised in a home where mom did it all. Mine was and it took years to get him to understand that I am NOT his mother and will not iron his tshirts, make foods that I'd never eat, etc. He never cleaned house, but he's real quick to tell me I don't do it correctly and hovers over the kids as they do chores.

Until your definitions are clearly understood, the conflicts will continue.
