Who cares about the ironing.
If he doesn't already, make him learn how to cook.
I could never be seriously one or the other, but I'd make a funny Dom ordering her around while I'm cooking.
But I'd at least shove her out of the way of the fry pan first, so there's that.
In the interest of truthfulness, neither of us iron. I know that sounds weird coming from a military household but it's true. We own one. I couldn't tell you the last time it was actually used.
Had the subject come up four months ago, I'd have told you that MP has never done my laundry in fifteen years. It's not that he never did any laundry. He always did his own ACU's. In the BDU days, that stuff went to the dry cleaner. My clothes, however, were off limits. First time ever was when we got back from my Dad's funeral. Granted, the man didn't have the first clue where any of it went and had to ask basically about everything, but he did it. (Kind of comical, actually.) Second time was on Mother's Day. He had it figured out by then.
Mother's Day was also MP's last go-round in the kitchen. I had told both of the guys that the only thing I wanted was some pancakes. I thought this was going to be Engie's job because, well, generally, MP can not be trusted in the kitchen. I was proud of him, though. He did a great job.
Anyway, I am going to give RM partial credit on this one. If it's 'just' Engie and I out on a date, such as dinner at a restaurant, yes, he generally pays. I'll pick up the drink tab or catch a little extra for the tip, but he spends more than I do. If the three of us do dinner out, I get the check. Same if we order in, which is a frequent habit on Sundays during Walking Dead season. When it's just MP and I, half of the time, I pay any time I'm employed.
For what it's worth, I had to ask about that last part. My emotional relationships? I don't keep financial score. [:)]
