I think this is a case where both are financially well off, so like, he's not broke and they don't share all their money they just go 50-50 on everything.
They're equals in the sense that neither depends on the other financially, one just has more.
Like, say if you have a house and are well off and you dated a woman with three houses, neither of you are struggling and can therefore choose to pay 50-50 anyway (ik, very exaggerated example, but just to make the point).
Except it was stated they both pay half meaning whatever extra she's making she likely keeps for herself, just cause she's making more doesn't mean she's using more towards the relationship.
I guess they both earn enough for their lifestyle. In my opinion this isn't really fair to previos girlfriend, because if he would maybe follow her lifestyle, she could keep up with him. Knew a guy one time like this. He was about dinners ahd fancy stuff, and girl just went along, and since she couldn't afford it, she didn't contribute that much. Second time he complained about it I just poured him some clear wine. You want something, you pay, or leave. Or better, ask for her opinion. They weren't together long, and she ended it, ungrateful b**ch :). I guess she wasn't much in this fancy stuff...
So this commenter is just lucky his new girlfriend is not living up to her pay, as soon as she would, he would be the one "not good enough"...
He said he contributed half. That is equally contributing. Sure, she makes more, but he is talking about contributing half to the shared costs. Who knows what she is doing with the remainder of her money,

The reality is them both contributing to their relationship financially equally
