This is from the much-written feeling that all the men are oligarchs, and the aunts are nurses. In fact, everything is not as usual and the contribution is roughly equal in the family.
example of a colleague: he is 37, she is 30, they have been living together for years 5. she gently hints on children and marriage, he is sluggish. He took one in the mortgage, naturally arranged for himself. Yes, he’s paid more than her, but not critically. His money goes to pay for a mortgage and an eternally broken car. They eat for their money and everything else. Also, she fully provides the daily life - washing, cleaning, cooking. Is this not an equal contribution? Is she a survivor? But it will be boring to him - he will go out, and she, according to the law, must make a bunch of movements to prove that she also has the right to this apartment, because of the fact. His money was also included in the family budget.
And if at first a man/woman has a sum for something - buy, organize, and then marry. No one will claim.
Although he loves her, and even for all 5 years says that someday he will have to get married and have a child. But when it is, it is not clear.
