Is it wrong to half-conform to gender stereotypes?
Then again, if both people are contributing equally in a relationship, financially speaking, then is that conforming to stereotypes or breaking them?
I certainly know that I will not be a housewife who cooks dinner and cleans everything, I'd rather those tasks be split equally.
Nor am I an advocate for just one person being financially stable because there's that little element of trust that I can simply never give away. All kinds of things happen. Call me naïve or close-minded, but money is undoubtedly one of the most important things to sustain life. Take note, I said one of, not the.

Also, I am very interested to find a person who can explain to me the downfall of getting a pre-nup. Like, maybe I am being close-minded but I struggle to find a negative. If for some reason a couple separates then BAM hello savior pre-nup. If you're so very confident that the relationship will last, in circumstances where marriage is a result of love, not money, then why object to a pre-nup? I mean, if you're going to be with that person for the rest of your life anyway, then the pre-nup will have no involvement in anything anyway. Can you really find a non self-beneficial reason for someone not to get one?
As someone who plans to be both financially and career stable as an individual, I do not want someone leeching off me on top of any heartbreak and life-crisis' I may face.
I have a friend who is involved in a situation like this and I see that the repercussions of bumming and financial instability continue into the next generation and affect the children too.
and no, kon. This is NOT about you in any way, or our relationship for that matter, it is just a general thought so no need to freak out if you are doing so :)

Also, I would like to note that I am currently in the midst of whipping up an english essay for tomorrows exam which is about this very thing !

Sidenote, passion pit is amazing.

That is all for now, but expect another post later on tonight ! :)

au revoir. xo
