Jordan and Morgan are discussing their 8-year relationship during a weekend camping trip.
Jordan says: "I was thinking about how we compare to my brother and his wife. They are constantly arguing about who does what, but with us, even though you do almost all the cooking and I handle the vehicle and gear maintenance, it feels completely balanced and fair. We've got a fantastic arrangement compared to most."
Morgan says: "I agree, it’s a very fair exchange. Plus, we've poured so much of ourselves into this relationship. Think about the years we spent supporting each other through our career changes, the dog we adopted and trained together, and all the savings we've pooled for our future cabin. If we split up, all of that is gone. And frankly, there's nobody else out there who could match what we have anyway."
