Let’s say both the guy and girl make the same amount of money and are both good at and enjoy cooking and cleaning.

Would it be wrong for a guy to want the girl to give equal contribution financially to the relationship if he’s also willing and capable of contributing equally to domestic duties?

In this same scenario, would it be wrong for him to expect her to cook and clean if he’s expected to handle the financial aspects of the relationship?

    The key to the solution here is to forget (for a while) the money and the cooking and the cleaning, because they are secondary questions.

    Primary are the wanting, the expecting, and the talking about these.

    Start with talking. Talk about talking. Then talk about wanting and about expecting.

    But never want without talking about it, and never expect without talking about it.
