I agree that it is all about balance and dividing up responsibilities so both people are contributing. I currently work 80 hours a week and have no time to do things around the house; I live alone so I use a cleaning service and eat mostly pre-made food. I am dating but not currently in a committed relationship. I'm looking for someone who also works (but maybe less than 80 hours), and who is either open to doing things around the house or who will split the cost with me for cleaning services/pre-made meals. I personally would not be comfortable with a relationship where one person worked and one person stayed home; just not my thing. I'm more interested in a partnership where we both work and can both support ourselves-- but to each their own. I know there are things I can't offer (terrible cook) but I can support myself, I drive, I'm great at planning trips and surprises, I'm a great listener, etc. I look for someone who can offer me similar things; a partnership.
