This.

And I have to say: I am kind of nauseated by the degree of transactional-ization and monetization of relationships that I see bandied about on DCUM.  I seriously wonder how much is just sock-puppet MRA trolling...either that or some really low class and shallow women.

I have been married 2x.  First time, I earned significantly more than DW.  I still support ex-DW to some slight degree (18 months and alimony is over!! Yay!).  I earned more, so I picked up more of the slack financially.  My work time-demands were actually lower than hers, and so I also picked up more of the domestic duties.  Who cares?  It is a partnership.

Now DW makes 2x what I make.  We take turns domestically because sometimes her schedule is more forgiving and has slack/free time.  I often step up (I play primary parent) when she gets very busy.  It's a partnership.

Grow up...your spouse is not hired help, and if you see them that way, do them a favor and cut them free.  Just hire professionals to take care of your transactional needs.  Just gross.[/quote]
