Most of the relationships I've seen whether it's my own,my parents relationships or close friends an family...I noticed that the women in the relationships who have jobs (no kids) usually pay very little if nothing on things like bills,rent,mortgage and utilities while the guy picks up the bulk of the tab...I asked about this to my girlfriend and she explained that it's okay for a man to give his girl some "stability" she also argued that the woman is "independent" because she makes her own money, while I argued that the woman just spends her money on her things while the guy pays the bill's making her nothing short of a gold digger...Is this normal? if so it's definitely not equal and makes me re-think my whole view on a relationships worth now a days.

    All depends on your workup of the situation. A lot of men genuinely enjoy being the providers, even if you yourself don't. Personally, I pay what I can with my income and it about amounts to 50/50. I was once in a relationship where I paid the majority of the bills.

    I think you're really overgeneralizing things, especially considering that some men really take it as a hit to the ego if the woman pays as much or more than him.

    Stereotypes would you really go there?

    I make more money than my boyfriend, so I pay the bills. We use his check for groceries, gas for the cars, and whatever else me need for the week. It's what works for us. Not all women are like that.

    Communication is key to any relationship. You need to sit down and have a talk with her about money and how it is to be spent. She may have some morals and values that you don't have and thats why money is one of the biggest reasons people break up. For instance, I was raised in a household that taught me the guy always pays for dates, picks up the bill. I believe that if you love her enough, money won't be an issue.

    It depends what works in each situation. However, in a time of equal rights, its only fair that the woman takes her fair share. Chivalry is a completely different matter!
