Relationship is such a beautiful thing, we are two people with like minds come together and they are attracted to each other. When it comes to taking responsibility in relationships, we all expect both partners to contribute to each other in relationships.
So in the union between the man and the woman, it is expected for the man to lead, to provide and to secure a partner while the woman is to submit and to nurture. Talking about 50/50, financially it should depend on how the level of who is capable of supporting the man. If the man is earning more, which is expected, then he can foot the bills. And if the woman too is earning, she can also support the family.
But here is the problem comes when both are earning and only one is expected to provide, perform and do everything, which is not valid. If the man is earning more, which is expected, then he can also support the family. But here and there the problem comes when both are earning and only one is expected to provide, perform and do everything, which is not valid.
If the man is earning more, which is expected, support the family. But here and there the problem comes when both are earning and only one is expected, the relation should be shared. If one side would be selfish then the relation should not have existed. The relation is supposed to be a partnership. If 50/50 is understandable and is good then we just have to practice them. But in a situation where we are expecting only one person to contribute, that is not love, that is selfishness.
When we are talking about a relationship being a 50/50, I agree. A 50/50 relationship if both partners agree. There is nothing bad in a 50/50 relationship. The tradition of only a man should provide is just a mere tradition and belief because men are not the one earning more and having better opportunities to provide and secure.
We live in a modern society where things have changed and women are now earning more money and having more opportunities, then if the woman truly loves the man, she should be willing to contribute and the man too must be willing to try his best as the man of the house to contribute.
Love is sweet. Love is a beautiful thing. 50/50 is good and there is nothing there if there is understanding between the two partners. This is a situation that requires understanding from both partners. If this poses a problem then the relationship was never meant to exist. People should only be in a relationship with someone they are willing to build with.
