I am hoping that by doing so, her asking me for things won't feel like such a colossal pain in the ass. After nearly four years with Rose, I STILL can’t get used to asking her to do things for me.

(woe?) Whatever you do, you have to get rid of the idea that he's moving into YOUR place. Assuming he's supporting his share financially, you guys will have an equal interest. That means you have to let him put his weird Scottish art up on the wall - you can't say, "Not in MY place!" Plus you're going to have to make room for his collection of Irvine Walsh, Robbie Burns, and Jackie Stewart memorabilia. You will have to learn to live with the smell of Marmite. At some point he will broach the subject of allowing Haggis on the premises. Be ready for that. Remember, these people grow up wearing skirts with no underwear; they're tough as nails but very strange. Finally, when a woman does it, it's housework. When a man does it, it's CHORES. This is key. (this is all very tongue in cheek of course except for the first bits) Whoa! (woe?) Whatever you do, you have to get rid of the idea that he’s moving into YOUR place.
