answer:I don’t live with anybody at present, except a small child. I would think, if living with an adult, it might depend on the arrangement previously made. Sometimes one partner/person will cook and one will clean. Sometimes one person works full time and one stays home and might do the majority of the housework. I would think, if it were roommates, that if one person made a mess but maybe had to run out the door, there would be some forgiveness from the other person, unless it was a huge mess or it occurred often. Maybe one person cooked and left the mess, but also left dinner for the other one. There are a lot of variables so it’s hard to make hard and fast rules about this.
