you make dinner (together?)
Only if opening the wine counts as helping with making dinner.
Oh, these kids today!
I know! Crazy, isn't it?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
the only way I'll do the cooking and the cleaning on my own is if someone else buys the groceries.

The alien abduction/sexual slavery/polka bit was removed in an edit today
How weird that I just stumbled across it today. This Means Something! Especially since I found it while doing research on an X-Files/Supernatural crossover fic.
Cue the Twilight Zone theme.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I don't think it is a small thing, vw. I think it's likely a good example of how you are in different places in life and that he is probably too immature for you.

Our wings are not tired.
Steve never helped immediately after dinner, and it irked me much. FINALLY, we talked about it and it comes out that he doesn't like to clean up after dinner, he much prefers the next morning. Once he's relaxed for the night, that's it. And I am completely uptight about waking up to a mess in the kitchen. So our compromise is that he helps with dinner, and then helps rinse everything (take 2 minutes) and clean the counters. If there's not enough for a full load in the dishwasher, the dirty dishes are contained in right side of sink. In the morning, he washes them. It tooks us nearly 2 years of tension before figuring this out. Arrrrgggh.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I'm a hot mess when it comes to dishes. If it's just me, I'll leave my dishes until the morning and then I do them all. If I have company, I have to get everything clean before I go to bed. I think it's the quantity of dishes. Anything less than a certain amount barely takes up sink space so it's easy to ignore. Too much and I don't want to have to look at it in the morning. Eh, it works for me.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Actually, vw, I think someone doing your dishes for you is pretty romantic.
Good on you for figuring that out, javachik, not sure DH and I are there. Our tolerance for dirty dishes is fairly similar. not so much for visual chaos.
