Dear Carolyn: Please explain again why the person with the higher standards always has to do the work. If P cooks, they leave stuff out, including food packaging - the trash can is right there!!! If you want both fairness and a calm, clean space, then you will need to live alone or with a different partner. The one way around the bad fairness math is if there's some chore or area of chores your partner does do well, gladly, or out of necessity. Re: Cleaning Meanie: Did you notice that when you "forget to put away" spices, it's innocent forgetfulness, but when it's your partner, it's negligence/meanness/laziness?
