A woman whose husband suggested a 50:50 marriage gets him alarmed after she demanded a surrogate so she doesn’t bear the p@ins alone.
According to the story, before they got married the man had suggested that they do a 50:50 marriage where everyone contributes equally to everything. The wife agreed and they went that way for three years.
But when they decided to have kids the woman suggested they get a surrogate and split the costs. She found one and shared that it will cost them seven million each, which she was cool with.
The husband finds it absurd as he insists that it is her job and responsibility to carry his baby. Why will he have a wife and she would refuse to give birth for him?
She considers his stands as selfish and unfair. If everything has been 50/50 why should she be the only one to go through the p@ins of pregnancy when she will be contributing towards the hospital bills and baby stuff?
The matter has led to a long family meeting between the couple and their respective relatives. The writer would describe the meeting as a “long night”
An X-user has shared his take on the story:
@fednard_ Two people arguing about 50/50 in a relationship do not fully understand what a relationship is. This is not a business split. It is not a competition. It is a partnership. My parents have been married for over 30 years. They do not do 50/50. My mother told me there are seasons she carries more of the weight than my father. And there are seasons my father does more than she does. That is how it actually works. You pour where you can, when you can.
