Looks like u got urself a healthy relationship in terms of sharing of chores and financials...... Im in awe when my partner response that she wanna keep her money to take care of her parents..... hence she cant contribute equally to the household expenses and her previous salary is way lower than me hence can only contribute 35% out of the total expenses........she also always reminded me that Im the head of the house n should provide and protect the family ( as if im burning/ wasting money unnecessary, i also dont simply spend money ).

hi there, i have been following your posting recently. Hope you are fine

I know the feeling being sole breadwinner in the family. Hence, i don't usually calculative on this part as long as the guy have job and contribute financially, im ok. doesn't matter who pay more who pay less. be reasonable and allocate some for savings. the rest is up to u what to buy no permission needed.

As we both are working and contribute financially together, same goes to house chores, we do it together also. example i vacuum you mop, you cook i do the washing. you throw the trash i put dustbin bag etc. that's how we share. after all that done, we Netflix together. never start the tv if either one of us not done yet.

Effort to commit and responsibility in a relationship is very important and this cant be bought by money. Yes, with money u can hire maid etc.
But for me, this kind of relationship are risky cos the foundation are lining with money not efforts and hard work.

Everyone can have money but not everyone can have the efforts and hard work.
just my dua cents.
