that's cute. you thinking a relationship is anything like business.

that's why i made the thread

it seems that the primary arguments against this set up are inefficient and based in only emotion

that can be flipped around. why would you ever want to inhibit your spouse/significant other from their economic potential over silly chores (that aren't even ignored. they do get done. just by 3rd parties)

Your op doesn't have enough info. Does the second job preclude the other person from doing chores?

If you do a one hour podcast once or twice a week, what are you doing the other 5 days a week?

Your situation makes more sense if the second job is something that would make it entirely unreasonable to do any additional work at home, as in they are working 12-14 hour days or something like that.

Relationships/marriages are emotional, not logical.

I can't tell my wife "Hey, I make more money than you, so I'm going to pay someone to do all of my chores, while you still have to work and come home and do chores".
