Why 50/50 Fails in Modern Relationships — And How Couples Can Fix It

Relationships today look nothing like our parents’ did. Back then it was often simple: one person earned the money, one person ran the house. Now? Two careers, shared bills, blurred roles, side hustles, childcare, cleaners, mental load… and everyone saying relationships should be “50/50”. In this episode of Between Mates, Ash and Liam talk honestly about what fairness in modern relationships actually looks like – in money, chores, kids, independence, love languages and time together. 🔍 In this episode, we talk about: • Should relationships really be 50/50 – or is that a myth? • How we split money as couples (single income vs two incomes, joint accounts, personal “fun money”) • Combining finances, bonuses and budgets in a way that feels fair • How to talk about money when one partner stays at home with the kids • Dividing housework and childcare without quietly resenting each other • The mental load, who does what, and why cleaners can be a game-changer • Love languages – why how you show love isn’t always how they feel loved • Balancing independence and togetherness (time for yourself vs time as a couple) • “Relationship retros” and regular check-ins that keep you from drifting apart • Why fairness doesn’t always mean equal – sometimes “today you carry more, tomorrow I will” 💡 Ideas you can try in your own relationship: • Have an open conversation about what “fair” looks like for both of you • Decide together how you’ll split money, chores and childcare – and review it regularly • Set up a simple monthly or fortnightly relationship check-in / retro • Talk about your love languages so you’re not giving what you’d like to receive, instead of what they actually need • Make space for independence – hobbies, solo time, seeing friends – without losing connection as a couple We’re not experts – just two mates sharing how we’re trying to make modern relationships work, in the hope it helps you feel a bit less alone while you figure out your own version of fair. 🎙️ Between Mates — two friends, two perspectives — talking about life, love, work, and everything in between. 🧰 Gear & Tools We Use: 🎤 Elgato Wave 3 microphones 🎬 Edited in DaVinci Resolve 🎵 Music by Suno – https://suno.com/s/1Y75n0wTecb8NOsG 💬 Join the community: 👉 https://www.skool.com/calmandconnected #BetweenMates #modernrelationships #FairnessInRelationships #RelationshipAdvice #MoneyAndRelationships #LoveLanguages #Marriage #Partnership #communication
