Not really. Im more generous than my girlfriend.
Shes very selfish and more concerned about making herself feel good rather than me. Like she cares about me alot and tries to make me happy but she makes she sorts her own problems out first.

its never 50/50!!! ever.... someone will always be making more, doing more, providing more, taking care of things more. all of that. there is the idea that the men go to work all day and bring home the money. thats it! the women stay home and clean up, cook, take care of the children, all of those things, and then turn around at the end of the day and take care of the man. does that sound 50/50??? or..... maybe the man does more than the average. he works really hard to provide for his family or just his lady and the woman just sponges off the man. and when there is some 50/50 situation going on that only means that there is something that either isnt being said that is getting done or there are some things that arent getting done. i definitely say i take care of more things. i cook and take care of my boyfriend and clean up. even as of right now he is not working (recession) and my small check has to take care of what can be taken care of. i am not complaining about it nor does it bother me. its just certain things i would prefer to do rather than him, either because he can't do it or i do it better. and i think that is just the way it is.

After 50 years it can only be a 50/50. I do the decorating and car service, cleaning, gardening etc and she does the house and cooks. It has always worked well. When our boys were first born I did my turn at night feeds etc so we both had reasonable rest. She still did the house and I worked full time.
Life needs to have sharing. Then both partners can enjoy life and not be jealous.

Honestly I don't think it is ever 50/50. With me it is 75/25 and she makes more money then me, im the one who calls her txts her more and does cute stuff for her without anything in return, I always pay for it even tho I got like 30 dollars left her parents own a business. I don't mind and I don't complain because when it comes to us breaking up she has more to miss and more to loose. If we do ever break up I can forget about her easier even tho I love her because she didn't do much for me as I wanted her to. im happy now I mean she does love me back but sooner or later I won't be able to give her my all anymore.

Housework is 50/50ish - I cook more but whenever I cook, he washes up.
Money isn't 50/50. I earn a bit more than my boyfriend and so although we halve the rent and bills, I do all the food shopping. It works for us - we're happy with the arrangement and he's got a career plan so I know one day he'll be earning more than me.

He owns the house and pays all the house bills so I usually try and pick up a lot of the dining out/grocery bills or I may buy him and I some new clothes or other goodies from time to time. Since I stay at his house bill-free (other than my own car and cell phone), I think that's only fair.

no as there are certain things he does better than I do, He deals with electrical and technology problems, but has no idea how to interact with other people so i do that, he cant bear tidiness, i cant bear mess so i clean, he makes a mess, i do the childcare, he pays the bills, i do the banking, and so on and so on, so we both work hard, just at different things but no its not always equal

it all depends on the factors for my relationship,
when it comes to care taking no, its more of me, and smaller things with in our relationship i take care of.
when it comes to money its mostly him.
and our sexual relationship is also mostly him.
he looks at the big picture and i sort them small things inbewteen.
