You're totally right, but that's only in a healthy functional relationship. I think the issue is that this relationship isn't the most healthy or functional.
Even though he makes almost twice she does, everything is split 50/50, so I don't think she is getting that benefit of his higher wage. If she was, I don't think she would be acting this way.
The moment my wife and I merged into one account, life was so much easier. More so because I take care of all the billing.
