It's definitely up there on the list of things that cause problems. Money, sex, and the TeeVee remote are at the top of that list.
...
I've been both the all-doing and the slacker in relationships. I think the biggest part of it is just picking who does what and sticking with it.
Also, there are different levels of comfort regarding chores. I don't go to sleep at night if I have more than a glass in the sink. I also have a hard time relaxing when there is shirt strewn on the floor. I use bags for my laundry. No piles. Shoes must be paired up. Some people? They're friggin' slobtacular.
State it up front and call 'em out on it when they don't do it. One my biggest peeves when I was married was bathroom neatness... don't leave bottles and towels and shit all over the counter and toilet lid and floor like magic mushrooms growing in the dark. I did dress-right-dress with bottles every evening.
...
Also: Men only dust when that gray blanket appears on top of the TeeVee.

And I've been in relationships where the girl is doing the man-bashing role reversal thing. "You should do the dishes. My mother did dishes her whole life."
Please, let's avoid sex bashing and stick to humans doing chores. We're all "equal" here, right? Except for tits and feelings and who's a sellout.
