It's an age old lament....
I'm not immune to it either, alas.
But the thing I've notice is the complaint is not about the housework...at all.
I think my partner needs some extra recognition or thanks as she's tired, or stressed with some other problem.
A different value system comes into play too.
Vacuuming the floors and dusting is more important than oil filters, or so it would seem.

If you started to add up each hour you spent at work, housework, or maintence about the house, it can decend pretty quickly to resentment and feelings of unworthyness.
I think nagging is a womens perogative since the age of cavemen, and like a baby crying, you just gotta have it sometimes.
