Is true financial equality in marriage ignoring unpaid household labor?
My partner and I split our finances 50/50, but I handle all the household admin—scheduling, groceries, remembering birthdays—and I've calculated that eats up about 8 hours of my week versus her 2. She insists it's fair because she earns more, yet we never actually put a dollar value on that invisible labor. Couples who say they've achieved equality in marriage: are you really tracking all the emotional and organizational work, or just the one that shows up in the bank account?
