Same in my relationsship.

I do the dishes, vacuum, change the bedsheets, occasionally wash the floors, cook and anything that requires tools.

My girlfriend cleans the bathroom, do the washing, and generally manages our calendar and our kid's wardrobe and health checkups.

Grocery shopping is divided.

we even split doing the bed. I do the sheets and the pillows and she does the duvet. I hate doing the duvet can't get the technique, she can't lift our heavier mattress as easily as me to do the sheets and she's crap with the pillows.

food shopping I pack it all into bags (frozen/fridge/cupboard/delicate) and bring it into the kitchen and she unpacks it all.

but she hates ironing and I'm rubbish at it / don't care about it. So I just don't have ironed clothes and she irons what she needs. Might iron a suit/shirt on the rare occasion I need one. That's sort of figured out I suppose.

Gotta find the balances.
