Gabrielle Union Rethinks 50/50 Split With Dwyane Wade

Gabrielle Union recently reflected on her previous stance of splitting household responsibilities and finances 50/50 with her husband, Dwyane Wade, admitting that this approach was driven by trauma and fear, rather than true equality. During her appearance on the 'Balanced Black Girl' podcast, she acknowledged that there are days when she feels incapable of contributing equally, requiring Wade to support her more. Union revealed her initial belief that a strict 50/50 split was empowering, but now understands it stemmed from a need to maintain control and avoid vulnerability. This epiphany came after experiencing anxiety regarding financial responsibilities, particularly when Wade suggested she take on more of the mortgage. She emphasized the importance of being open and vulnerable in their relationship, recognizing that true partnership means sometimes relying on each other more heavily. Union's change in perspective highlights her personal growth and the evolution of her relationship with Wade.
