If you think splitting the chores with your spouse 50-50 is going to make the resentment and inequality in your relationship magically disappear . . . NOPE.

According to a new book called "Spousonomics", couples who divide chores right down the middle end up just as unhappy as other couples.

It's because not everyone is good at every chore, and certain people hate certain chores more than other people. So instead of doing the ironing, which you're good at, you HAVE to wash the dishes and walk the dog . . . and you hate those.
