Got a partner who pays half the bills, does half the laundry, cooks half the food, washes half the dishes. Even without sex, it's an absolute win.

But you consume twice as much food, have twice as much laundry, and so on.

Yeah but then zero of many things.

I may do double dishes. But zero baking and I'm rewarded with cookies randomly.

I may do double cleaning. But zero when it comes to buying gifts and cards for people, because she loves doing that. And I get to reap all the benefits.

Absolutely this. I suck at cooking but my wife is great at it. She hates doing dishes but I really don’t mind.
