Saw this video today about a woman who went 50/50 while living with her boyfriend. Well, she shouldn't have been living with him without being married in the first place, but ok... I think this example is quite eye-opening for anyone considering 50/50 in their relationship.
Honestly, if any woman is willing to try that for whatever reason (one income for two people in this economy sounds like a stretch), this is an interesting approach IMO. She was clear about her boundries and left when he acted LV. Her mistake was to wait 2 months before leaving. And how on earth were the groceries episode her breaking point and not the mouldy dishes???
Most men have what I call "gold digger issues". Like mommy issues, gold digger issues are so ingrained there is nothing we can do except avoid men who exhibit them. There is no debating, there is no counseling, there is no fix. Avoidance is the only solution.
Make sure any man you date does not have gold digger issues, and if you think he does, just B&D.
