I'm the 50/50 guy.

Wife and I split all household duties 50/50 and all expenses 50/50

Seriously, please tell me why I am a piece of shit because of this??

How is 50/50 for everything "weird?"

We believe in equality in our household, equal work and equal share of expenses.

The most powerful and strong marriages are ones where the husband and wife are one unit.  It sounds like you have more a roommate situation.  There is a reason roommate situations dont last.  Division of labor 50/50 is a fine idea.  Its the whole "my money" fixation that you have that is getting everyone's gander up.  Your marriage will be tested and it unclear if you guys will pull through as opposed to more open, trusting and vulnerable unions.  For example, your wife loses her job and gets depressed.  You develop a chronic illness that requires a lot of money to treat abd you are not working.  Ummm...your framework is going to shake and buckle under such pressure.  One of you is going to think the other person is failing to live up to the arrangement.  Your system only works if both people stay eternally young, healthy and gainfully employed.

Good luck with that.[/quote]
