Right now my husband pays everything and I do everything in the house (I don't work)

When I worked he paid the mortgage and electric insurance and cell phones. I paid cable Internet before/after school care groceries garbage and water.
We each pd our own car notes when we had one.

Never did this 50/50 notion come up.

I never understand the responses from women in these types of threads, I can only guess it's because none of the women here have ever actually lived with a man.

You split everything evenly, period. All this "I'll pay significantly less cause I hold down the house by cooking and cleaning :troll:" is for the birds, this is 2017 both partners can cook and clean. :camby:
That last part is what gets me. Like us dudes weren't cooking and cleaning before we met them? And why does the dude pay all the rent? He's gotta pay all that and still find a way to put dough away into savings, date night, etc. Let's be real. These chick's say this is "teamwork" but who's really making out in this scenario?

That's fair. As a husband I don't mind footing the buik of the expenses or all if my wife doesn't work.

But the question doesn't say the couple is married or is even headed down that road. I can't see myself covering all the bills for a "girlfriend"

At the same time, I'm not the type to live with a chick before marriage anyways, but if for some strange reason it happened, she'd be paying her half.

Its ironic because to me threads like this reveal that men want their cake and eat it too.

If you are the same posters who constantly complain about feminism and beat your chest about needing a woman to submit, the only person being hypocritical here is you if you are wanting to split the bills 50/50. Please get it out of your head that just because you have a penis you are the head/leader/worthy of submission. It sounds good for your ego, but 99% of women whether they say it or not (or at least the ones you'd want who know their worth) aren't going to go for it. You have to actually look at it from the woman's perspective. Exactly what is she getting out of submitting to you and letting you lead if she's going to continue to have the same and more responsibilities as before she met you?

You want to be the boss, you pay the cost. Its not my ideal situation, but there's nothing wrong with it and at least its fair. But if you are fine with equality and don't hate feminism/women's empowerment, 50/50 makes sense.

Nope. What he pays is going to be much more than what I pay is what I'm saying, bc he is going to be making way more than I do.
Forget a husband, it sounds like you want a sugar daddy. I hope your looks are real good but even beauty fades so you'll be tossed to the side for a younger woman when you reach your mid 30s if not 40. :francis:
