Do you "keep score" in the relationship?

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

    Sometimes but mainly about the dishes. I hate doing them and if I’ve done them all week and he even puts ONE dish in there, I remind him of all my hard work and he should do the other dishes because he left the fork😂

    We really try not to. It's definitely more of a weakness for me than for my FH. We try hard to share responsibilities and chores.

    My parents always told me not to keep score because we'd both lose and I've kept that in mind throughout our relationship. That being said, I wasn't great at this when I was 16-17 but as a 22 year old, the only time I'd say I "keep score" is secretly when i notice how considerate he is being and try to do something for him to show him I appreciate him too if that counts lol. I want to be at his level Smiley tongue

    Never. I sometimes jokingly give him crap when he doesn't want to help with something, but I never keep score or hold things against him

    Sometimes. We like to do " Ginx! You owe me a..." I always ask for Starbucks and he always asks for a new video game. When we ginx each other sometimes we will say "now I owe you one less.." Currently the score stands as Me:3 Him:1

    Sometimes. My personality and mind works by keeping score, but I’m working really hard on not doing that with my fiancé.

    Never. We just split what has to be done. We don't really have "turns," or anything like that. However, usually I will cook dinner and he just washes the dishes, but that is just simply what we have always done, and it stuck. If he forget to do something, I don't mind doing it, and vice versa.
