I think the problem with this argument is that it reduces relationships to financial transactions. Nobody should be expected to carry the entire financial burden, just as nobody should be expected to carry the entire emotional or domestic burden. A relationship is a partnership, and partnership requires mutual effort. 50/50 doesn’t necessarily mean splitting every bill down the middle, it means both people are willing to contribute, sacrifice and make life easier for each other in ways that work for them. If being together feels like an additional responsibility rather than a shared journey, perhaps the issue isn’t the 50/50 arrangement but the choice of partner.
