Do you "keep score" in the relationship?

Lynnie, on April 2, 2019 at 11:05 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 89

There's friendly competition, trading chores, and every once in awhile the justified "I told you so"! But when doing favors for your SO becomes a mental tally of favors you expect in return - you might be falling into the trap of "keeping score" in your relationship!

Do you ever "keep score" in your relationship? Never, always, or sometimes?

    Never. We trade off on certain chores (whoever gets home earlier will start dinner and the other will do the dishes, etc.) but we don't really keep track of it, one of us will just do it if we see it needs to be done. I would never see dishes that need to be done and leave them because it's "his turn."

    Never. It's not healthy to keep score.

    No, I don't keep score on household chores since I do them... I do sometimes keep a tally of other things in the back of my mind....like who calls who first.

    Sometimes, but it's not on purpose. We try not to, and just to pitch in when we see there's a need.

    More often than we both would like. We are both pretty competitive people, but hey, no relationship is perfect and that is something we get to work on and accomplish together Smiley smile

    Sometimes but not the way you would think. It would be more like "Hey, I know you did this the last time, I got it this time" rather than "I already did this, it's your turn" kind of thing. It's pretty balanced in our relationship because we want it to be, not because we're forcing the other to keep it that way.

    Sometimes? We don't keep tally of favors or say things like I did this so you have to for this but we will split or trade things. IE I will mop if you will clean the litter boxes etc.

    Never. I know he hates Laundry and he knows I HATE dishes. There are things that just come naturally to us and as long as it gets done I don't see why it matters who does what.
