Yes, when he is home, he takes out the garbage (it's his only household chore), but I'm a military spouse and he leaves me home alone a LOT. If I didn't take out garbage on my own, I'd be going MONTHS living with trash in my house. On the other hand, I'm not the typical wife either - a hinge wouldn't squeak in my house long enough for TPO to think of zapping it with WD-40.

If one cooked, the other cleaned up the kitchen. We also had assigned cleaning jobs. It all seemed so wonderful and I figured that he had left behind his home where his father did no cleaning or cooking, but did do the home "repairs." The writing, "divorce," was on the wall when he hired a cleaning MAN to do the cleaning for him. What would he have written in his blog? I know: LOOPHOLE!
