Thanks for your replies guys. Hvert that's exactly my situation. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be with one working and one not.

Well we ended up having a huge argument about it but we managed to work it out the next day after we both calmed down.

He says he understands a bit better after talking and he feels like a prick.

We agreed that we'd switch which nights we cook, and if I'm going to be working late I will let him know earlier so he can do something about it. Dishes will be dealt with on a if you created them, you clean them basis (Trippin's my mess my problem suggestion, thank you!) except for the pots and pans.. Whoever gets them will get them... And from now on he's going to ask what I want to do with my day on the weekends before he starts telling me what he wants to do.

Only been a couple of days since our argument but so far so good.. I had to work until 5am last night and he let me sleep all day, hasn't bothered me about the dishes I left out from dinner.
