Not to take over Homeslice's role as resident nit picker but equal does mean 50/50 guys... I'm just saying that all of your "70/30"s and "90/10"s rarely average out to be an honest 50/50. I'm not saying that you can't be "satisfied" with the level of disparity. I'm saying that there IS disparity and you know it. If you wipe away all this "we're equal partners" bullshit and look deep down, you'll see that no matter how slight the difference in authority is, SOMEONE has the final say in your relationships. Just because one partner doesn't "give a shit" about a certain aspect of your lives and delegates that responsibility to you, doesn't change the fact that you're the First Mate to his Captain...
