Right, but in a relationship the economic value that you bring to the relationship, should not necessarily be equal/reciprocal to the amount of chores you do.

so if the person paid for all the chores and didn't split the excess, that's fair?

Depends how things are split in the relationship.

Do they have separate bank accounts and have personal money all of their own?

If so, then sure. If not, then no.

IMO, yes.

I'm working on the premise that all income brought to the relationship is split equally. So, if you are working a second job that income is still split 50/50. You don't get to just use 100% of it to handle some responsibility that you have, while leaving your SO to still have to perform their chores.

If you are referring to a relationship that is not a marriage this may be different, because not everyone splits income 50/50 in non-married relationships.
