Be honest, do you feel that a man should be the one taking care of his gf\wife, or do you feel it should be 50\50.

There is no such thing as 50/50, nor should there be. Because, in truth, the notion is one of keeping score in a relationship which isn't how a relationship should work. Obviously, if only one spouse works and the other spouse simply lies around the house all day not doing anything, not even basic housekeeping duties, then that's an unfair division of labor (We know a couple like that. The husband expected her to come home from her job as in-house legal counsel and then cook dinner).

Both should contribute. My wife works, I work... but I make substantially more.

No big deal, even with her making a lot less it is a lifestyle changer. We don't worry about money. If we want a vacation we take it, if we want to buy something, we buy it.

If it was just me working, our life wouldn't be like that.

It's our money, not her money and my money.
