It wouldn't bother me to pick someone else's stuff, do laundry or cook even if we weren't engaged.
Why is that such a big deal?

I think it's only a big deal if it's a one way street... if only ONE person is picking everything up, doing all the laundry, all the cooking, etc. I used to really resent my ex-husband when he sat there watching TV while I picked up, did dishes, bathed kids, got them to bed, put clothes away, made lunches for the next day, etc. Then when I would sit down to watch TV with him, he was ready for sleep and I needed time to wind down. He's the laziest slob in the world. He even accused me of not doing anything around the house! He knows now how much I used to do, cuz he has to do it himself now! (And yes, I tried to talk to him about it a lot of times. He said I just got angry while cleaning because I listened to Alanis Morisette while cleaning, which he termed "angry white woman" music"). Boy am I glad he's history...lol.
I wish I'd lived with him first, because I wouldn't have married him (but then I wouldn't have my two wonderful kids either.. so everything works out as it should in the end, I guess!)
