How Much Does Your Husband Earn? by Glamglam(f): 10:03am On Aug 04, 2011
Okay, I don't really want figures. I just wanted to ask the guys here, do you share your salary details with your wives? If you don't why? And for the women in here, does your hubby tells you what he earns? Do you expect him to?

PS: not just husband/wives but fiancé/fiancee. . .

Why wouldn't a man tell his wife what he earns and vice versa? undecided

I know what he earns and he knows what I earn. My own is please do not expect me to hand over my paycheck

Re: How Much Does Your Husband Earn? by Glamglam(f): 10:58am On Aug 04, 2011
Well the reason why I asked is because some men think it's Oyinbo style to talk about what they earn with their other half. I am in favour of transparency. If you cannot share these kind of information with your other half, it may mean you do not trust her and if you do not trust her, why be with her?

At the same time, I am also against women who depend on their man for everything or stash away their earnings somewhere while eyeing the guy's own. . .

Depend?No But expect ?Oh Yes.  cheesy

@Topic,What about non-salary earners,business men and women,self employed et all?Do you account for all profits made?
Re: How Much Does Your Husband Earn? by blank(f): 11:49am On Aug 05, 2011
We know what each other earn and we are both signatories to each others account right from when we were dating but i am too lazy to worry about banking transactions. He does all of that and we both use our money as we decide. Can't remember doing my money or your money. Everything he buys, he buys in my name so i can't really be bothered with keeping my money for myself. Let him worry about money while i worry my pretty head about more important things like what to wear. lol.

I am still waiting for a guy to give an answer or an opinion on this issue. Or could it be that the guys have other ideas? wink

@jkorokoro

Your question is un answerable.
Re: How Much Does Your Husband Earn? by Nobody: 8:00pm On Aug 05, 2011
Depends on the couple. Some couples beleive in total transparency and some dont.
Re: How Much Does Your Husband Earn? by Nobody: 8:35pm On Aug 05, 2011
No real man tells his wife what he earns unlesss he is a complete f.ool.
Women will still come to ask their man for the money for the smallest thing in the house even if she earns more than him!
The more a man exposes his finances,the more she gonna ask for.
Clever men never declare real account figures to their women.
Thats the truth!
So when you feel you are cleaning him out,he is actually having the last laugh!
I do it all the time and I can bet my bottom money other brothers do it too!

Thank you very much for your response. I have to admit I was expecting something similar from a guy. But you didn't say if you know what your wife earns and if you do, does that make her foolish? If you don't know what she earns does that mean she is secretive or hoarding her money etc?

Richvkunt, I must confess that you have quite a strong opinion on this matter. I hope this did not contribute to your divorce though. . .

I have a strong opinion on this because I am experienced in such matters.An average woman prefers you spend all your money before she will agree to touch a dime of hers.
As for your second question:NO!

your problem isnt that you told your wife how much you earned but that you married a bad, uncaring and selfish woman who was more interested in herself than her home. A real woman would be more interested in how to use both yours and her money to take care of the family than her own needs.
