I must say I've been married for 13 years and I've never once considered the term "equality" as it relates to my marriage. Never. I don't even think in those terms. I think in terms of love and respect. Quite honestly you sound very selfish to me. Something tells me you had parents who did a poor job raising you OR you grew up being a self-indulgent rebel -- because you seem to have no moral foundation what-so-ever. At this point you may be even clinically depressed. It's no wonder you're single. I feel sorry for you, actually.
