Should Relationships Be 50/50? Dating, Marriage, Money & Gender Roles Ft. @AnnaMorgenstern

We are finally tackling the highly debated topic of 50/50!!!! On this episode of Missjudged, Alyssa sits down with matchmaker Anna Morgenstern to debate one of the most controversial questions in modern dating and marriage: should relationships be 50/50 in all the ways?

Anna is in a successful 50/50 marriage. Alyssa thinks 50/50 is basically a beautifully marketed scam against women. So naturally listen to see the common ground ending! Who won over who?!

They break down:

• What 50/50 in a relationship actually means
• Whether couples should split bills in dating and marriage
• How long a check should sit on the table before someone becomes deeply unattractive
• Why “equal” is not always the same thing as fair
• How babies, pregnancy, and childcare change the entire 50/50 conversation
• Why emotional support, time, planning, and invisible labor have to count too
• How couples should actually think about finances before moving in, getting engaged, or getting married
• The difference between a true partnership and a Venmo-based situationship with vows
• Whether traditional gender roles still matter in modern relationships
• How to decide what is fair when income, effort, emotional labor, and life responsibilities are not equal
• 
  

Because if a woman is splitting the bills but also carrying the emotional labor, managing the house, planning the life, remembering everyone’s birthdays, growing the baby, and still being expected to be fun and relaxed… is that equality, or is that just unpaid management with a ring?

This episode covers 50/50 relationships, 50/50 marriage, dating and money, splitting bills, financial compatibility, gender roles, emotional labor, childcare, babies, modern relationships, and what fairness actually looks like in love.
