Apart from possibly one year in college when I had my own room in a student hall, I've never really lived on my own - I've always had housemates. Pretty much every place I've lived in has had some issue or other about sharing of housework, apart from one where we all chipped in and got a cleaner in once a week. That was the best idea anyone ever had.
I haven't yet lived with a woman so I haven't had those issues affect a relationship just yet, but I'd like to think I'd pull my weight. Most of the time so far I've found that I want the place cleaner and tidier than my housemates, but everyone has different expectations.
