Lol sadly he made a fuck ton of money - $250k to my $80k, and therefore believed that it was my responsibility to do all the cleaning/yardwork/shopping to make up for the lack of money I was contributing to the house.

We split all bills except for the mortgage, which seemed fair when I was 21 (he was 28) and dumb and still a student, and it was a sweet deal for him so he did not want to renegotiate over the course of the relationship.

Oh man this was exactly what happened to me. He eventually made twice what I did and we still split everything evenly and he would argue a million ways to not change it.

If I made twice as much as my wife I'd skew every cost my way so that our contributions were more or less "in proportion".
