Let’s say both the guy and girl make the same amount of money and are both good at and enjoy cooking and cleaning.

Would it be wrong for a guy to want the girl to give equal contribution financially to the relationship if he’s also willing and capable of contributing equally to domestic duties?

In this same scenario, would it be wrong for him to expect her to cook and clean if he’s expected to handle the financial aspects of the relationship?

    Morally, probably yes.

    Socially, the girl has more bargaining power to do some house chores and have the guy pay for room and board.

    Relationships are ongoing negotiations.

        I think I see where you are coming from, but I have found that expecting “falling in love” instead of intentionally choosing to love makes a relationship short term aka that lasts for a couple years max. When I don’t negotiate and choose love intentionally, a lot more of the missed expectation of “reading my mind because you love me” stuff goes on.

        What does a healthy relationship look like to you?

      You’re either a damn good negotiator or a horrible partner.

      I just do things for my family because I love them.
