Splitting by income keeps things fair when one partner earns way more. 50/50 sounds equal but it punishes the lower earner and breeds resentment fast.
It also handles life curveballs like career breaks way better without one person footing everything alone.
I agree. But I’d add that a fair split should honor each partner’s dreams and needs; money is a tool, not love’s measure.
Split by income, indeed. Yet love's true currency is generosity, more valuable than any balance sheet.
