This is the real answer right here!
Not just partners but really anyone it's easy if you establish who is the head chef and who is the sous-chef(s).
I'm happy to cook with as many sous-chefs as we can cram into the kitchen. Heck I'll put someone on a grill outside if I get too many. An extra two sous-chefs? Sounds like we're about to have two extra side dishes. Maybe a pie. Now the dishes are washed before we're done. Now they're dried and put away! I can find more tasks! Floors swept, counters wiped, I can find tasks for a small contingent of sous-chefs! Mad with power.
And same in reverse, there's something so hypnotic about just being the sous-chef. YES CHEF. Cut the veggies smaller YES CHEF. Just go with the flow. Ahhh
Yeah basically any relationship I’ve had it’s been like, “wanna cook?”
“Sure, you got an idea?”
“Yes”
“K, you lead”
If both partners are willing to take either role it’s fine.
