People do not talk about how much goes into maintaining a non-mutualling benefiting relationship. To start off with an example as defining what I mean will be difficult, it is apparent that expectations in a lopsided trad relationship tend to lean onto the shoulders of the male individual (assuming the relationship is straight.) This is common in society and can be recognized instantaneously. Recently it has been more rare to see a man bare the weight of the relationship, as the massive fleeing of fathers that occurred among children born from 2006 to 2010 increased the population of men who were not taught how to conform to societies expectations for what they input into a relationship. On the opposite side of the spectrum, in some embarrassing scenarios (disregarding the haughty in my adjectives) relationships recently have been pushes more towards the middle, which can be perceived as more towards the woman of the relationship. This expresses itself in these few scenarios (not limited to) : planning dates, buying items, paying bills. This recent equalizing shift has caused an uproar on social media, and even off social media. If we disregard teenagers of this time (in which we have to because that is a WHOLE nother can of worms) it can be assumed that the traditional way of relationships is being abolished, and complete equality in said relationships is being achieved.
