Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This is where lasting relationships and divorce enter the building. Can you, will you deal with the coffee pot? Or do you pray, with every task, that they take care of it first? Is your other half taking care of it while you feel relief, far too often? Are you sick of taking care of it while your other half is checks other room watching YouTube and scrolling Lemmy?

Is it balanced? Or is it a question of how long until imbalance breaks things?

Adulting is tiring. Adulting is also a key to relationship maintenance.

Holy shit, that hits close to home.

For me it's Checks room and partner is stuck on Instagram/Facebook/Tiktok.

Or partner takes 45m to do a 5min task because they take 10m standing breaks every minute to doomscroll.

Then complain that they don't have any time to do their normal shared workload. Or play with the kid with me, or walk the dogs....etc
