British (M28) dating a Chinese (F28) in the UK
I dated a Chinese girl that grew up in Shenyang and moved to the UK when she was about 9 years old. We've been dating for about a year and have had some great times together.
We recently started looking for a place to rent out. For context, we both went to uni, have decent jobs and I make slightly more than her. We spoke about how we'd work structurally, and I was ready to take on the provider role as it's important to her culturally. However, she also expects me to take on half of the household duties, including cooking and cleaning. And she goes by the 'her money is her money, and my money is her money' standard. Whilst I wanted to take on the traditional role, I would only do that if she also acted as a traditional woman, which she made abundantly clear she wasn't willing to do. I felt blindsided by this, and felt that she was simply picking the parts of Chinese and Western culture that suited her, whilst dismissing any accountability on her.
After a lot of discussion, I called it off and blocked her. Did I dodge a bullet or have I messed up?
