Great blog, and great blog entry.
It took me maybe two years to come to this conclusion in my relationship. And funny enough, the split my bf and I have is about the same as V's.
Because he hates doing it (or just plain doesn't care), I do the dishes, make the bed, fold the laundry, and clean the tub.
Because I hate doing it (or just plain don't care), he washes the laundry (except for my clothes, which he's afraid to shrink!), takes out the trash, scrubs the toilet, and cooks.
I don't particularly enjoy dishes, so that's what we used to fight about a lot. But then I realized that I felt shitty about the dishes the majority of the time, and we fought about the dishes the majority of the time, I just sucked it up and started doing them. Now we don't fight and our kitchen doesn't stink from the I-refuse-to-do-the-dishes wars.
I also discovered that, even though he likes keeping our apartment chilly, if I do a load of hot dishes, I warm up pretty quick.
So chores might not be split 50/50... but I think the balance does make our relationship more equal. Neither of us are total schlubs, and we compliment each other's weak spots.
