There was a study done (no joke) on things that woke men up at night -- crying baby came in like 10th or 12th, whereas it comes in first for women.
My DH has never done a night feed -- not once. But I BFed, so that is mostly why. I actually insisted on co-sleeping as a result. That is was DH's compromise.
I work full time, do 90% of the housework, cook 100% of the meals, and do 80% of the babycare... oh and manage the bills, too.
When I get really grumpy about it, DH will realize he is slacking too much and try to do a load or two of laundry or do the dishes.
I did give him specific jobs, though -- yardwork, snow shoveling, trash take out... and those I make him do. Still isn't even though.
You are not alone!
