Answer:

dissatisfied because if she is contributing more, she should also be getting more out of the relationship than her partner does.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equity theory: In psychology, the term "equity theory" is described as a concept that is based on the idea that a particular individual is being motivated through fairness, and in case if he or she figures out inequities in the output or input ratios related to himself or herself and his or her referent group or person, then the person will seek to adjust his or her input to reach or gain perceived equity.

In the question above, Aletha is likely to feel dissatisfied because of her relationship.
