Women still do the bulk of household chores, management, raising kids and the mental load of it all. When cohabiting, how have you shared them, and how did it effect you?

    it’s amazing to me how many people rush into having children and getting married (let alone just living together) without basic conversations or logistics being figured out …

    Like, it seems so reasonable to sit down and have a conversation - like you say, hashing out a social contract of living together. It builds consent, avoids resentment, creates fairness, deepens trust and reliability … it just feels like the bare minimum to make a relationship work, to be honest.
