The dinner is finished and sitting on the counter. Who is responsible for washing the pots?

My partner spent two hours making an amazing dinner from scratch. Now, every single pot and pan is piled high in the sink covered in sauce. Facing a massive mountain of crusted pans right after eating completely kills the evening vibe. Is the classic cleanup rule still fair?
