It's ok for a husband to make a little less than the wife, but if the gap is too much, it will cause problems. Broke men are extremely unattractive.

The same long story.

Here you are, a lady that haven't met up 5% of Nigeria men and you're already ranting that 99% Nigeria men are insecure bla bla...

I don't know where this mentality is from but I have this to say about it.
Nigeria men are not scared of successful women rather they are scared of control freaks.

The type of woman that only feels good about herself if she makes you feel less than her.

These are the women that my brothers are scared of. It is called being careful and not insecurity.

And for your information, it isn't just Nigeria men, if a host of studies are to be believed, marrying these women(career women) is asking for trouble.

If they quit their jobs and stay home with the kids, they will be unhappy ( Journal of Marriage and Family, 2003). They will be unhappy if they make more money than you do ( Social Forces, 2006). You will be unhappy if they make more money than you do ( Journal of Marriage and Family, 2001). You will be more likely to fall ill ( American Journal of Sociology). Even your house will be dirtier ( Institute for Social Research).

Have you seen that it just isn't a Nigeria thing?

Now can we the stats to back your ridiculous 99.9$ nonsense?

The same studies have found that professional women are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat, less likely to have children, and, if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it.

Men are not scared of women with wealth, they're simply not ready for their endless troubles.

Nobody will willingly pierce his body with many sorrows.

Now lemme bring it down to Nigeria women.

This is what happens when a guy asks for the hand of a rich girl in marriage.
Each member of the family will buy one Laser-Sharp Binoculars that can pierce through his flesh and bones and zoom the guy's soul to search his spirit to know if he's after the woman's wealth.

Even when the Binoculars reads negative, they still won't believe it, they will become very envious and are likely to disrespect the guy.

The guy have alota work to do to prove his not after their sister's money before they can respect him.....

The mama will be like, "My daughter, that guy is after your money. He's not good for you, wait my dear, when a good guy comes I will tell you".

Who wants that?

Finally, these women, especially those working in an office or something of that nature do not know that there are things one needs to succeed in business and work.

These things are direct opposite of what we need to have successful marriage and most of these successful women do not know where to cut the line.

To succeed in business, you have to be stubborn, in control etc. Bring these things into your marriage and you are in trouble.
Some successful women would rather blow the house up and everything in it than compromise or take personal responsibility.


Who Wants This?

Women Naturally want to exert control over everything. They enjoy to make those around them feel inadequate, insecure, nervous, angry, anxious and physically sick.

Go to married men that have richer wives and ask them, they will tell you that the message their women pass in everything they do is I don’t trust you to be able to do it right; I don’t respect your judgment; I don’t think you are competent; I don’t value your insight. I can do it all alone.

Stay Alone Then.

If you're rich and no man wants to marry you, it's because you're not good.

Stop consoling yourself with the Nigeria men are insecure around women with wealth.

Acquiring wealth doesn't mean you should get married automatically.
There are many broke single women out there and many rich women are getting married even as we talk.

Work on yourself.

According the op, the women was sent parking because she was rich, and I ask, all these poor broke ladies that gets divorced all the time, is it their wealth that intimidated their husbands?

Stumbled on this and I must say hilarious!

Women need to seek men their level.... not necessarily financially but mentally.

Honestly, you just nailed it. There is no way a lady will be richer than a guy that there won't be problem. Except the family is a praying family. People are found of saying the lady is not humble . But it is not true. It is in the nature of a man to provide and when he doesn't it creates trouble. That is why it is good to marry someone who holds same believe as u do. You pray together to come out of situations and all.

Whatever the woman has belongs to the man and vice versal. Whether the woman kills a snake or the man kills a snake the most important thing is for the snake to die. The snake in this context is "poverty". But a man will not agree.
The woman atittude also changes. Dnt just hype the blame on the poor man. NICE WRITE~UP

Questions is, who sent her packing?

LET ME SPEAK FOR THE GUYS before you answer the above.
First of all she, like many others may have lost respect for our husband because 'richer' than them. She suddenly becomes proud and pompous to do household chores etc because she dishes out more dough.
Oga u aren't a woman. Just change ur monika

When a wife who's a self-absorbing and or opportunistic woman is richer than her husband, she becomes a source of sorrow to him, especially one who doesn't have an altruistic interest in her husband. The husband can only be a little safe if he's gritty and psychologically advanced than her.

Meanwhile, when a wife who's a conscientious woman is richer than her husband, better if she has an altruistic interest for him also, her success will become a source of upliftment and happiness to him in particular and the family in general, provided that he's conscientious and has an altruistic interest in her.

It can never be about money; rather, it'll always be about the ethical leanings of the parties involved.

chores ke did he marry her only for chores? is the chore meant for any special person? anybody who has the chance can do it. children belongs to man and wife, same as the house. everyone who is an adult should clean after themselves. if the lady happens to make more money it means absolutely nothing. the man should be humble enough to accept it and the lady humble enough to know that their marriage is not because of money. once they are married they are one and the same irrespective of who makes more dough. both of them need to cut their ego. humility, love and respect apply to both of them in that situation not the just the woman.
men are allowed to be pompous and proud and order women around when they have money.
once the position reverses the man's ego becomes sensitive to everything the woman does.
not that I support it but it is the reality.
Your reality. Women misbehave when they are financially better than the man. They even make their fellow ladies (Friends, workers) miserable and inferior not to talk of their hubby they are feeding.
Re: When Your Wife Is Richer Than You by Nobody: 8:08pm On Jan 31, 2021
Money should not be the only quality a man should possess before committing to a woman. There should be more. If your woman is richer than you, then a man should have other compensating qualities, and his ego should not feel bruised or try to cut her wings from flying farther.
