Why Are Husbands Aggressive To Their Wives When They Are Financially Unstable? by chiibekee(f): 6:56am On Sep 24, 2015
Just thought of asking cos av been noticing this act. Am not saying they abuse their wives but they get pissed with every little thing. Little things like: its 5:00 pm and dinner is not ready when on a normal day he eats by 7:00 pm. And so many other reasons.

Because they're under pressure, their man ego is bruised because they feel they aren't properly carrying out their manly duties, hence their self confidence and sense of self worth is diminished. And if the wife is the nagging, mouthy kind of wife , it even makes him angrier.

The reason is because every responsible man will normally feel uncomfortable when he knows he is not doing what he supposed to be doing as a "man of the house". And the frustration tends to come out in one way or the other & being aggressive is one of the ways of showing the frustration.

Lol, na money mata na.
. The man is the natural provider of the house. He's more or less in charge of finances. When things go broke he can no longer perform his function. This makes him irritable cos deep down he feels he's letting himself and those around him down. He tries to cut back on expenses. He also tries to forget that he's broke.

A wife reminds him of these things constantly. She's the one who will ask him for money for soup or hair or remind him that the school fees have not been paid. All these things make him realise his position more and he gets pissed off and irritable.

I know of a woman whose father was a drunkard. He would spend all his money drinking. When this woman got married anytime her husband goes into a financial dive it is then she starts asking for money up and down. You see, she felt that whenever money was scarce her husband would spend the little he had drinking instead of putting it into the family way. She was acting up from what her father had done to her mother. The husband doesn't drink but was pissed at why her demands increased everytime he was financially down instead of decreasing. It led to a couple of fights and took some counselling before they both realised what was triggering her behaviour and his responding aggression.


If your husband is irritable during lack, bear with him. Reduce your demands or stop outright if u can fend for yourself. We are all human and can't be at our peak performance all the time. Give him space. A good man will know what you are doing and appreciate you for it, even reward you afterwards sef when the going gets better again.

If finances or lack of it determines your self esteem or the way you react to your spouse or situai then you have character problem

you should be who you are in good or trying times

Money answereth all things -The Bible
Christ paid him and his disciples tax
Salvation is free but you have to buy bible.
A man that can't provide for his family is regarded to as an infidel - Bible

So there is a great direct relationship with the money you have and your happiness

...having the right attitude is not saying you don't want money or saying you don't want to make money but it's saying that no matter your present state you can make it(money)

It's applicable to women as well, nothing is interesting when you are dead broke. It's a feeling we don't have power over.

In this situation, a woman needs to show love and support to her man to make him feel secured not nag him to insanity.

Summary:

*Man enters, sad*
Wife: Honey, what's wrong?
Man: I'm broke.
Wife: Sorry dear. You mean no money at all?
Man: No.


*45 minutes later*
Wife: I want to buy Brazilian hair tomorrow. I've called the hairdresser.

What is the expected reaction here?
