Entering a relationship where you get to do a lot of finances equally may not sit well with a lot of people. Are you the type who is okay with being in a relationship with someone who suggest that it is a 50/50 relationship?

Splitting bills is my perfect model of an ideal relationship personally. But the percentage that she would contribute would depend on her income. It might not be 50/50 but I am certainly going to split bills with my woman.
I am a man and in my part of the world the man is a provider, there is no social compulsion for women in a relationship to spend money to manage the finances. However, I am my partner have a very understanding relationship. I manage the day to day finances while she pays for big purchases.
I don't mind contributing 50/50 to take care of bills with my man. I work and I earn money. Why then can't we partner equally to pay bills? I can't make my man go through financial stress when I have money to relieve him.

I don't mind contributing 50/50 as long as I have been in a relationship with the person enough to know I can trust them and that they are serious about taking half of the responsibility.
Yeah, it is also about the other person being responsible enough to take up the other half of the payment for things. If they are irresponsible, the relationship is still not going to work as anticipated.
Personally, all these splitting of bills wouldn't matter to me if I was financially bouyant enough to handle the greater part of responsibilities. I would lose my respect if I constantly demand that we split bills equally.
I give my wife nearly all the money in our relationship, keeping a small stipend for personal items and rolling the leftovers into a retirement account. She also gets an equal or greater stipend, as I'm not a shopper.
That is typically how it's done in Japan. Sorting the bills and going to the post office or convince store to make the actual payments, with the money the husband brings in, is typically the wife's job.
A lot is automated now, but we have several bills that are still required to be paid in person.

Yes, demanding equal spending in a relationship comes with its challenges. This is what you should work out towards figuring out as it is always going to be a catalyst to whether you want to handle all expenses or split them with your partner.
If you marry the right women or with the right women in your relationship, I don't think you're going to be interested in doing the 50/50 stuff because you know 100% she's going to take care of anything you have that's about money.
