Do unto your SO as you would have then do unto you

[laRubiaBonita]

Do you treat your SO like you would want them to treat you?

 

If so, does it set an “example”? aka- do they emulate by doing things for you too?

 

Or do you feel like the giver and never the receiver?

 

Can you give examples of giving and either receiving or not?

Honesty and trust. They go both ways between us.

Yes.

No. He's naturally courteous and treats everyone with respect.

No.

As examples of giving and receiving, my job is to cook and he cleans up. During the weekdays since I work from home, when Nanny needs to do something, Bump's my responsibility. So every evening, H. is responsible for bathtime.

 

These weren't previously defined roles where we sat down and divvied up the jobs. We just fell into the pattern of what works well for all of us.
