It’s absolutely both. Her “love language” is probably “acts of kindness”. That’s how my wife is. So, she is probably seeing it as an attractive act, and telling you that also makes you do it more often.
Yep, just like I tell my wife I love work (I can watch hours at it being performed).
The best way to show appreciation of you girlfriend/wife is helping with chores. (And thus limiting her time doing them, which results in more time together, win-win ;) )
It could be because the people in her life (especially the masculine figures) aren’t the type to actually do chores without the initial request/push by another person. It’s some kind of shock and it could be seen as an attractive trait. Same feeling I got when I entered a healthy relationship with someone who’s not a slob. Doing chores is bare minimum though
Could be real, either way I definitely get laid more when I do stuff around the house. I read a study that basically suggested doing chores helps because it relieves the stress of your partner, freeing them up to feel a little more amorous.
it could be a mix of both but i think some people are into it because on itch there is a game called “house chores” but i guess it depends on the person.
In my experience, this is 100% trying to get you to do more chores than you agreed to split with her. Graciously accept the compliment, and if she needs help with her chores obviously help her. But I wouldn’t go out of your way to do more chores than you agreed to. Otherwise you will eventually find that the agreed split is no longer a split at all, and then resentment will build up. Resentment of course being a silent relationship killer.
I’m easily distracted and have trouble finishing tasks. case and point: I made this post while doing the dishes, and im currently procrastinating tidying up all the kid toys 🙃
