A woman has sparked a lively debate online after running a poll on whether women think it's 'sexier' for their partner to be the financial breadwinner, or split the bills with them.
Juliana Stewart, from London, who has been married a year, took to her Twitter account @JulianaStewart_ to ask other women whether they preferred a traditional or modern approach to relationships.
She wrote: 'Ladies, what's sexier?
'A 50/50 relationship is when you split the bills, date nights, holidays, living arrangements, everything. A man who provides means you can work if you want to but don't have to, he knows how to hold it down.'
And while followers replied with mixed responses, the surprising poll results showed that 63 per cent of women out of the 4,000 asked preferred a 'man who provides'.

The 37% on the other side are lying.
Another approach is to regard 100% of the money as ‘ours’. Then it does not matter whose account it comes from.
Well, there is that little issue of who works to pay the bills when the woman is in a forced dependency role late in pregnancy and early child care
What’s hers is hers. What’s his is ours.
If folks haven’t figured that out yet, they are headed for divorce.
6 years after my divorce, my ex called and wanted me to buy her a new iphone.
LOL like that is going to happen.
...Another approach is to regard 100% of the money as ‘ours’
I just assume I don’t own anything, it’s all hers; it’s more peaceful that way
Where the point will be reinforced by the court during property reallocation.
Yes...if you don’t treat all funds as “ours”...you start your marriage on a downhill ride...imho
I would say there’s a distinctive difference between expecting you support her, and she being appreciative of your support and doing everything she can to contribute to the overall household as well. You’re a team with different strengths in different areas. Act like it, embrace it, respect it.
No doubt most of the 37% are lying. But many women have been marinated in the liberal nonsense so I bet 5-10% sincerely belive a 50/50 split is better.
But most of those will still be dissatsified.
many woman today want “feminism” when it suits them, and traditional gender roles the rest of the time.
50/50 shows lack of commitment. The two are not becoming one.
It’s weird and not a real marriage.
I can top that. Several years after divorce, my ex wanted to meet me for lunch to discuss “finances”. At that point, he owed me several thousand dollars in back child support and kids’ expenses, and did not seem that he was going to start reducing that, any time soon. He was earning about 180% of my income, and the child support was under $300/month for 2 kids.
He wanted me to refinance the house, and then loan him the money/cash I got out of it, and he would use that money to pay me the backlog he owed.
Yes... he thought I was dumb enough to do this. But he was wrong.
There goes that equality thing.
“6 years after my divorce, my ex called and wanted me to buy her a new iphone.”
Did you leave her or she leave you?
“Yes...if you don’t treat all funds as “ours”...you start your marriage on a downhill ride...imho”
Yes. It’s not really a marriage.
In marriage everything the man earns is for his family.
That’s just how it is and if a man doesn’t believe that or understand that he’s not a man and should not be getting married or have kids.
Another approach is to regard 100% of the money as ‘ours’. Then it does not matter whose account it comes from.

This is the obvious, common sense answer in a marriage. Now, it gets more interesting in a non-married situation.
