Can anything in relationship work 50/50?

I think it's more of a give and take thing really

In theory 50/50 is how it should be, but you have to account for everything that comes into play. Conflicts in schedules, interests, etc. Its more like 60/40 and where one person may make up for the others 10% the other makes up for in a different area. That's where people have to compromise because no relationship will ever work out perfectly to 50/50 on either side for every situation.

Let's say that partner 1 likes a certain thing during sex, but partner 2 doesn't like that certain thing. They can compromise on it. Partner 1 can do something that Partner 2 really enjoys in exchange for their participation of the aforementioned sexual activity, even if what Partner 1 does is not sexual in nature at all.

Another example would be if Partner 2 enjoys going out to a jazz club, but Partner 1 isn't very keen on jazz. Partner 1 can still surprise Partner 2 by taking them to a jazz club to keep Partner 2 happy, while Partner 2 could do something for Partner 1 that they may not enjoy, such as sitting through a football game or getting something for Partner 1 that they may have been saving up for and surprising them.

They don't have to be related to the situation that one or the other likes, but in a sense the action that they take makes up for whichever area they are lacking in.

It isn't 50/50, but the percentages almost always work out to 100%.

As for raising a child. In the early years of course the mother will be doing the majority of the work, but that does not mean that the male can not help out during those times. Let's say that the female needs a break or needs to relax, the male can opt that he watch the child while the female takes a nap or he can pay for her to take a day at the spa while he watches the child. As the child gets older the male would take over in the areas such as discipline and leadership. In essence the male should be the "leader" so to speak for a younger child and as they progress. in age. He takes over instilling morals, but that doesn't mean the mother doesn't play a role either. She should be the one that nurtures while the male is playing the part of "the sculptor." Then it would closer to 50/50 after the initial raising of the child.

I personally think that the only relationship that work 50/50 is when both of the people in the relationship are robots that are programmed, and know what they're supposed to do.

I don't believe in that 50/50 stuff. I think that in a relationship both people have to see what will work, and won't work. There shouldn't be any I'm a woman, so I will tend to the garden everyday, and I'm a man, so I must fix the car everyday. I think in a relationship both people have to pitch in to make it work instead of dividing the work, and just doing the so called "their part".

Sure, given enough work put in by both partners. Of course, when a relationship is based upon everything being 50/50, it's likely that whenever something becomes unbalanced, a problem will arise.

In all honesty, I think it's sometimes necessary to have a power imbalance, so to speak. That's life in general, but I'm sure it's applicable to relationships.

the way it may be is the way it works fabulous for you. i think of 50-50 can artwork ... yet on condition that that's a compromise because of the fact the two human beings attempt to offer a hundred%. truthfully, if he's extreme whilst he calls you a Gold Digger for purely pointing out the concept that issues no longer be 50-50, then i could toss him on that on my own. "Gold Digger" is a greater socially appropriate way of calling somebody a nicely-paid hooker. the biggest undertaking I see with the 50-50 attitude, although, is that there constantly comes the question -- what happens if i can't supply my 50%? existence throws each variety of curves at you -- and if he's anticipating it to be even each and all of the time, he's going to be sorely wrong. there are instances once you will supply 80 to his 20 and instances whilst that is going to likely be any incorrect way around. It sounds like his definition of fifty-50 is "pay what I could to get by skill of" -- and that's the form of fifty-50 that ends with divorce. If his definition of it become "pay as much as i will because of the fact she's well worth it -- yet whilst she insists on paying 50%, then she's well worth that, too", it may be diverse. As is, every person who thinks that requiring chivalry and gold-digging are the comparable undertaking, is out the door with my footprint on his butt in ten seconds flat!!!

50/50 is not required in a relationship but it is required in a marriage and yes it is possible to work 50/50 in a marriage. I am living proof of that. Not saying everyone can do it though.

Everything doesn't have to be 50/50, but there should be some equality and mutual respect in any relationship.

some things do, some things don't; important thing is to love your mate, in which case 50/50 won't matter

some stuff yes..but not everything.
