Thank you @HelenaDove
@AhNowTed stop making up your own version of events to try and win your (lame) argument. As Helena said, I never said that my DH was like this, (lazy and housework shy.)
You're deluded if you actually think that some men aren't like what I described - wanting equality, and for women to always pay their way - but never lifting a finger in the house, or helping with the kids. As I said, wanting equality when it suits THEM.
The relationships board - on here AND on other forums is littered with posts from women who have had kids with a man who earns much more than them, but still makes her pay half towards everything because ya know EQUALITY ! 
But he does fuckall to help with the childcare or chores or general running of the home.. He just gets in from work, and sits his arse in front of the playstation or TV, or nods off in the chair. In some cases, the woman works as well. But she has way less income than him, because she has had her job/career/earning power affected by having children.
His surplus money is usually taken by his expensive and time-consuming hobbies.
I suppose she shouldn't have had kids with him eh? Probably her who wanted them and not him. Should have worked harder at school to get better educated to she could get a better job? Some clown always comes up with one of these fucking gems.
No, my DH ISN'T like this, and I most certainly wouldn't be with a man who WAS like this, but you go on making up your own version of events up to suit your argument if 'making stuff up' is all you've got. 
@HelenaDove
Splitting the bill is no guarantee that a man believes in equality.
Definitely not. Indeed, as I said, a man who believes women should pay their way, ALWAYS, are way more likely to be selfish and self-serving, and never give an inch. And he will most certainly be a man who will expect his lower earning wife/partner to chip in 50% for everything when they live together and have kids, but will NOT chip in 50% when it comes to housework and childcare.
IMO, any man who always wants everything 50/50 from the first date, is someone to be avoided, because he will NOT want to share the housework and childcare 50/50, and he is way more likely to be selfish and grabby. Be warned!!!
@Bubs101
I agree its outdated to expect the man to pay all the time. But with they way society is geared towards women and women roles i'll be damned if I'm working full time, doing the lions share of housework and childcare and then being told to 'split the bill because equality'. Because lets be honest so many studies have repeatedly said women do most of the unpaid labour in the home, no matter how much you bleat on about your DH doing 50/50 thats not the reality for most women.
Excellent post! ^
I am ignoring the clearly sexist posts on here from a couple of posters who are clearly men. No woman would post such damning remarks about women.
I am also hiding this thread and switching off notifications, because I have said all I can say now, and some comments on here are really fucking pissing me off.
