Do you "keep score" in the relationship?

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

    Never. We made it clear that we would keep things like that out of our relationship years ago when we started dating.

    We're both very competitive, so we "keep score" with things like our sports teams, games, etc. But nothing personal or relational.

    Sometimes. When we're both being lazy and don't want to do any chores, we keep score but then we both end up doing it 😂😂

    Never! It would ruin us. We try to just focus on doing nice things for each other, no matter what.

    We do as a joke, but never take it serious.

    Never, never, never. This is equal partnership and if I do more it's my choice if he does more it's his choice but we never hold it over each others head.

    We dont keep score. We do things for eachother often without thinking. We dont think about who did what to say who turn it is.

    Never. I haven't even heard of this before haha. My FH knows all the chores that I will NOT do, and he will do them without hesitation.

    Sometimes. Some chores work better when they are shared by both parties. Ahem, hand washing dishes anyone?

    Never! we are a total team when it comes to house chores and anything else. we are however very competitive and love to play dominoes or uno. there is one rule at the table, nobody is friends. we have some full on battles and we keep a running score in a notebook so we always know who's "winning" Smiley sexy

    Sometimes, but only when I've done it for the last 12 times and he hasn't touched them in weeks. Never on anything that actually matters.

    He never keeps score. I don't intentionally keep score but if something happened in the past and i was butt hurt about it and it somehow comes up months to years later I'll remeber how butt hurt i was and be all but hurt again for no good reason.

    Sometimes, he tends not to do chores unless I ask a couple times.
