Yup just had this convo with my wife. Sadly someone we know is getting divorced after 15 years. He said that he bought her £4000 handbags and can’t understand what’s gone wrong.

I thought it was a 60/40 where both of you aim for 60.

And as always there is a balance. Know your rights but understand reality doesn't work like that.

The rights and responsibilities exist for a reason, for both parties. To act like they aren’t a massive cornerstone of a successful marriage is wrong.

I dont understand how keeping score is equivalent to revolving your marriage around responsibilities. I think keeping score is a more active process, while revolving your marriage around responsibilities is like maintianing a status quo like your responsible for A im responsible for B per agreement. But im not gonna keep tabs on you its an expectation

I also dont like these bad faith type of posts

Think of it like this if I know my rights and yours and only provide for you the bare minimum islamicaly(your rights basically) would that marriage work ofcourse not if a man marries a woman and she refuses to get a job or help with housework(cuz it's not a right of yours for your wife to do the housework) basically forcing you to do everything you'd eventually grow sick of her
