Do you "keep score" in the relationship?

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

    Sometimes. We trade off responsibilities so one person isn’t doing everything. I never thought of it as keeping score though

    Never. I do the majority of the housework, but he helps out when I ask or sometimes he just does it if I've been working a lot especially. However, I told you so is almost always used whenever appropriate by both of us Smiley xd

    We may have a bit of friendly competition but nothing that I think amounts to keeping score...

    Never. Not seriously anyway, and even joking we don’t.

    Sometimes. He's usual excuse for not helping around the house is "I work" If I really want help though he'll complain some but he'll do it..then it usually turns out fun with us picking on each other

    Never. This doesn't seem like a healthy relationship habit, unless it's done a playful way. haha.

    Never.

    The only things we keep scores are how bad I kill him in go karts and mini golf and how bad he kills me in scrabble after he's had a few too many beers LOL!

    Quite the opposite. When we make comments about keeping track it's usually when one of us are feeling like we're neglecting the other. "You do so much, I feel like I should be doing more." ...usually the one being "neglected" just points out all the stuff the other has done lately.

    Never. We both just do what needs to be done and we don't really think about it.

    No. I would probably be mad/resentful if I did. There are so many wonderful things that he takes care of for me, so me doing things for him is just easy.

    Never. I'm not a competitive person in any way shape or form. If he kept score I would probably just say 'cool you win'. lol!

    I would say in general, no. We do a good job of being a team.
