who is joking?
Id say ive got a pretty evenly divided household, bills split evenly with her name on some, my name on others, every other month we switch who sends the rent check and who gets reimbursed, her cars are insured through my policy at a better rate, but she does pay me for them, food shopping and cooking is done by the GF, and I pay her half and add no talent apart from hunger to that area, ect.
Decisions on taste, furniture, and decor of our home are decided by the GF, decisions on maintenance, repair of the home, repair of the cars is done by me, but again, if its her car I act in an advisory role and tell her what to buy or who to use.
We maintain our personal separate bank accounts, and also one shared account we each deposit monthly into equal amounts for discussed improvements or needs. We will soon be doing the same thing for projected children college funds.
Id say its fairly evenly split with each of us head of different facets of life, and each facet fairly evenly divided. like you, debates are had on certain things and I feel the stronger argument wins, though we both tend to let the other have their way when the issue is one that is within someones realm of authority. For example, what we sit on, what we put on the walls, I don't even debate.
