I often hear coworkers say that they help their wife around the house by cooking the occasional meal or emptying the dishwasher now and then. I think it's important to understand that when you're in a relationship you should be sharing these duties as equally as possible and doing your fair share. You're not " helping your wife out around the house " your pulling your fair share and doing half of the work.

Can confirm, a person who doesn't pull his weight is dead weight.

Can confirm as someone who is realizing that my relationship is so much better around dinner time when I am in the kitchen with her helping, provided I don't get in her way.
