I'd never expect my wife to pay half the rent outside of an extremely narrow set of circumstances.
Because my career has more earning potential than hers, so we split things proportionally.
We don't even split things. Our money goes into the same accounts. And from that we pay our bills and other expenses.
We have agreements to not go buying things we don't need, and to not pay for superfluous services. And a softish budget we adhere to.
Splitting it sounds way too painful.
Same. My wife and I have a shared bank account which our salaries go into and which our bills come out of. Neither of us are especially profligate so it works fine. We discuss any significant purchases, but don't worry about the small stuff, just check the budget through the month as we go. We never argue about money.
Try to get into actually budgeting. There's a number of free options; I have been enjoying ActualBudget. It's empowering to keep accurate track of your money and it will also make you appreciate it more.
