Is it wrong for a guy to want equal contribution in a relationship where both people work? - eviltoast

Let’s say both the guy and girl make the same amount of money and are both good at and enjoy cooking and cleaning.

Would it be wrong for a guy to want the girl to give equal contribution financially to the relationship if he’s also willing and capable of contributing equally to domestic duties?

In this same scenario, would it be wrong for him to expect her to cook and clean if he’s expected to handle the financial aspects of the relationship?

    To me it depends on:

    • How much money I’m contributing vs my partner
    • How much time we both work
    • What hours we both work

    I’m paying all the bills and you’re not working? You’re doing all the chores. We both work 40 hr weeks but I earn and contribute more? Close to a 50/50 split of chores. My partner works night shifts? I’ll do all the stuff that can only be done during the day.

    I think unless your partner is unemployed you should both be doing some chores, but who does what depends on the circumstances.
