What's your Take on 50/50?

Ask r/Kenya

In modern relationships, there's ongoing debate about splitting everything exactly 50/50, including bills, chores, emotional labor, and career sacrifices. Some see perfect equality as the only fair approach, especially when incomes are similar. Others find strict 50/50 transactional and score-keeping, arguing it ignores differences in earnings, health, or invisible workload at different life stages.So, what's your honest take on the 50/50 model in a long-term relationship? Is it the gold standard of fairness, or can a healthier partnership sometimes mean uneven contributions (like 70/30 or 60/40) as long as both partners feel valued and respected?
