Hi there,

You have a loving and very hardworking wife. Your job is whack, , and you haven't been paid salaries for some months, you r broke
and you need to move house, eventually your wife paid the rent for the new crib amongst other things,

How should you feel in that new house when you guys eventually move in?

I will feel free as long as I know that she is doing a legitimate work and not getting money from sugar daddies.
Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by sistawoman: 5:16pm On Feb 10, 2009
Is she not your wife?

why would you not feel free in your own home?

She paid the rent and things so that the family could move; you are part of that family right?

A husband and wife are partners for life.  When one does not have the other is there; I would be insulted if my husband felt like because I pay more bills then him he has to walk around his castle on eggshells.  My husband is the head of my house and it does not matter whos salary is more because all of it belongs to us both. 

We both work hard to provide for and take care of each other, thus in turn we are taking care of ourselves.  Example:  I call all over town to find my husband a doctor, spending most of my day on the phone interviewing propective doctors.  I spent my whole day consumed with doing something for him but it benifits me too.  When he sees the doctor i find the doctor keeps him healthly thus making him live longer thus making me happy in the end to have a healthy and happy husband.

In these trying times it really does not matter who paid the bills just so long as they are paid.


I married for better or worse did you not do the same?

I am glad you are talking about it sha. Don't let useless pride cause trouble for you guys. Why should you not feel free. If the tables were turned would you expect her to feel like a loser. Don't start getting thoughts in your head now. It is y'alls home and not just hers.

Gracial all,
All comments appreciated. But the thing is the job situation is really disturbing necessitating the need to be alone many times.
Moreso, some of her family know about this situation, as some pass "tongue in cheek comments " atimes.
But they are in-laws,  what can one do?!?!

Wetin concern your inlaws, let them run their commentary as much as they want to as long as your wife does not rub it in your face. people will always talk, man you are blessed and people are only jealous because you are not totally down due to the loss of your job. Don't let them break your marriage, be strong and happy.

But why doo you want to be alone?

Its your home whether or not your wife pays the bills for now, you need to be in charge, dont let them intimidate you into a corner. If you need privacy they gotta give you. dem no get work? All this idle inlaws sef. You can also look for a cathederal or church around you when you neeed solitude. Most cathedrals and churches are usually very quiet in the afternoons, believe me you will so much enjoy the environment. Just keep praying and dont let them come btw you and your wife, some inlaws are pain in the neck. The best

Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by Shinatu: 5:23pm On Feb 11, 2009
you mean the wife might have told them? Even if she happened to accidentally mention it in the course of conversation, it doesnt mean they should start putting mouth in other people's matter. Unless she asked them for money.


The wife does not have to tell them anything.
People can tell when a man is jobless.

What her inlaws are doing is the same thing mother inlaws (huband's mum)are good at.
They believe they have invested so much on their child that they do not want someone to be a burden on him/her, because it will definitely affect his/her responsibilities towards them.

When you pay the rent doesnt she feel free in the house?
Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by mogentle(m): 3:31pm On Feb 12, 2009
FEEEEEEL freeeeeeee.

Let no rent put Assunder. shocked shocked


Meanwhile, dont get used to that. As a man, u must be ready to provide for your Home.
Let's be realistic, some Naija women are easily intoxicated by power though some are highly supportive. Yoruba people used to say 'Die omokunrin ko to'. i.e. Little of a man is not always enough. Get good job fast. wink
Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by Nobody: 2:44pm On Feb 13, 2009
a lot of good advice has already offered to you. oga as someone rightly said you are partners for life. i would suggest that you stop dissipating negative energy by wasting your emotions on being egocentric. if you stop being bothered am positive something good will come up faster than you think. but pls when your breakthrough comes, don't ever forget your wife and always hold her in high esteem.

Wrong impression. 'Have never been and will never be egocentric, esp. with her. just that one has never been in such a position before hence the mixed /confused feelings.  I appreciate and love her a lot and constantly let her know.
10x though.

Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by chikito1(f): 1:37pm On Feb 18, 2009
Take it easy. Thats the reason why a man and woman come together. When one is down the other should be able to

carry both parties along. You have not mentioned that you do not pay at all, but the present situation has called for

your wife who is able to provide to take care of the necessary things that come up. As long as this remains within both

of you, i do not think you owe any explanation to anyone as regards money flow in your home. When things do get

better, which i hope does soon. You will go back to you normal responsibilities. Do not let pride or male ego affect your

relationship. Goodluck.
Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by benedictac(f): 11:28am On Feb 23, 2009
The bible says anyone who is not able to provide for the family is worst than an infidel. This is either the man or the woman.

The woman is the help meet for the man. So the man needs not be ashamed when he is financially down. Afterall the scripture just has to be fullfiled. The woman just has to meet you in time of help and this is one of those times.

But just sit up and work harder dont relax on your wife's success if not, it will only take the grace of God coz we women are just too wonderful, you know what i mean.

All the same feel free.
Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by spikedcylinder: 11:42am On Feb 23, 2009
I tire for men and this their "I must provide everything financial" mentality. What happened to sharing love and responsibility?
Re: Wife Has Financial Upperhand Presently by Nobody: 12:04pm On Feb 23, 2009
@op,

outside of your current woes, i'd say lucky u.

as far as madam is concerned, it is my sole responsibility to provide - and this has caused no end of gragra between us
