The 50/50 Marriage Trap

Stella Forrest and her husband agreed to an AA system. Her husband covered only half daily expenses, refusing costs for housework, childcare, or Stella's parents, yet demanded Stella split his family's expenses. Stella shouldered all housework and childcare, while he accused her of spending too much. Stella proposed terminating the AA system to settle unfair expenses. The couple confronts money and responsibility in marriage. They either redefine family responsibilities or part ways.
