That being said, where you are in your relationship matters. My boyfriend and I live together (we have for 2 years), and we share financial responsibility. We both work full time and pay bills. I know if I needed to, or just wanted to, he'd handle all the bills for a few months but there's no reason for that, when I'm perfectly capable of going to work and making my own money. And I'd do the same for him if need be. But it's not about the money, it's about the person.
