This post is actually kind of disturbing to me. I think a relationship should be roughly 50/50. A women who lets herself get that loose speaks volumes for the respect she has for herself.
i agree on 50 / 50...fair enough indeed but who sticks to that? some people only take & never give
There's at least 1 in New Orleans
But OP, if you get sex out of it I'd consider that a fair trade
Doesntmatter, how is that fair? Sex=the world given to you. 30% of women sleep on the first date. It would be significantly cheaper for a man to just sleep around than be in a relationship and he can get a new woman everyday.
If girls are so 'unfair' you could always try dating men.
I'm a woman. My husband & I share duties according to interest, time availability & ability:
My portion of your criteria:
-pay/plan approx 1/2 dates (we alt Friday pms)
-plan and pay for travel (I'm the better organizer & foreign language speaker so that's my job)
-take care of contraceptive needs
-take care of him/family when they are ill
-make sure he gets to the dentist & doc each year
-make sure he exercises
-cook 6/7 days of dinner
-we consult on expensive gifts
-bring him a beer if I get home from work first
-provide financially
-take care of family finances
-he does yard/grass, I do flowers
-we both do home repairs & maintenance
-make more sacrifices -- NO!
A sacrifice implies dissatisfaction with a decision. Noone in a healthy should be 'sacrificing' anything. Either make your choices w/eyes wide open or discuss further until you come to a mutually acceptable agreement. This can mean you end up doing something you don't enjoy, but you might trade w/your partner for some other duty.
You should break up w/your partner if you are so unhappy.
Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

i think it's very selfish of people to think about what others do for them all the time. if you do something for somebody, it should be genuine and from the heart, and not because you're looking to get something in return.
people do small things for each other all the time that are often taken for granted because somebody wants something bigger.
people want the moon, and the rest of the universe on the side.
baby ya hustle. but me i hustle harder.
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
