hey this is a real topic, seriously, i went through this training for IMWI last year and it caused a sore spot in my marriage!
my husband is really great, he picked up the pieces (literally and figuretively) for months without uttering one complaint. but one day i had been out for 8 hours on a bike ride (this was ride time, plus travel time to drive to the actual ride), came home exhausted and collapsed in a chair. it all came to a head right then and there and he just let it all out. whoops!
i don't know what to tell you but agree this is a real issue. if you could do it, hire it out if you feel that works for you. i wouldn't think twice about it, as doing so could take alot of pressure off of you.
but if you live with someone i think communicating about the situation and options is very important.
sounds like you're totally aware of what is happening. it's hard to do everything, something has to give (be it giving up the money to have someone do it for you, or settle for less cleanliness, or juggle time/plan to clean, or train less, etc).
