when do you stop splitting everything 50/50 in a relationship?

I think it should start on the wonderful day that you both say 'I do'. I feel that a marriage should start off as a partnership and that means 50/50 in finances, chores, decision making ,etc. The only times that I think that the man should make the final decision if as agreement can't be reached after thorough discussion. The second time would be, in a Christian home is if the wife was or wanted to participate in an activity that violates God's Word and as the one responsible to God for his family, he should put his foot down. Hope this helps a bit. Blessings.

I've lived with my boyfriend, and I've been married and the only times I can remember each of us not paying a portion of the bills was a wake up call for me to leave the relationship.

He was letting me pay for EVERYTHING!

There will be times when the split won't always be 50/50 but things in a relationship will always be give and take.

Good Luck with all you do... :-)

i think you should always consider splitting everything 50/50. but there will be times when the split needs to be mostly in favor of one. it's a matter of give and take. if you can't be flexible then you might end up with problems. no two people are exactly alike. there has to be some differences. i think once you are married then it becomes one for all and all for one.

I've learned that life is never fair and nothing in a relationship is ever 50/50 if you want it to really work both people have to be giving a 100 %.

They are never 50/50

Did you know that research has shown that a business owned 50/50 will almost always fail? That is because there is bound to be disagreements and there has to be someone in "charge" who has the last word. According to the Bible, that should be the husband in a marriage.

nothing is ever 50/50 in a relationship...you may do stuff for 3 month, and he does something for a month and then you do it for 5 months...a relationship should not be 50/50 and you shouldn't count on it being that way either...it should be however it works out...if your not married, it should be whoever has the money, or whoever idea it was to go out..talk to your "other" and discuss this...I never paid when I was dating my husband up until the moment we got married...good luck

i think splitting every thing 50/50 is silly when u love and trust someone its about sharing things together, when u have money to help out or when ure partner has. its about give and take. Unless Ive just started going out together, then u split things until u get closer and no he or shes not going to take u for granted.

when two persons love each other so much so that they never feel that they are 2!!!!!... once you dont even remember that you are two.. you will never feel like splitting the cake into 50 50... there is no me and you in love... love can overcome many things... including 50/50.....

Whe she starts putting out..

Ok I'm kidding.. Kinda.

One way or another.. Relationships have to be 50/50 forever.. as soon as they stop being 50/50 they are doomed.
