    What’s a reasonable way to split chores with a partner who works longer hours?

    My partner works 50–55 hours a week, and I'm closer to 40, so I'm worried I'm asking too much about chores. I don't want either of us to feel resentful, but the kitchen and laundry pile up fast. We're on a tight budget, so hiring help isn't an option, and we each have one evening class a week. I'd like a plan that feels fair and fits our schedules. How can we divide tasks by time and energy without keeping score or starting an argument?
