Nigeria women are married cuz of two things. Age factor and two poverty alleviation program. Very wicked set of people. A girl will still keep thousands of exes, sugar daddies, married men, hook up plugs etc but still keep u as a boyfriend for billing or her selfish satisfaction lol

My wife and I split the bills. It allows us to both have a chance to save money. As a man, I donโ€™t feel like Iโ€™m less of a man cause we split the general bills. I pay for our extra curricular activities.
If you both work and make money, you both deserve to have savings.

Buy all sorts of make up, lightening cream and sending her money to her family. Thats what they all do.

Ratio of income should determine who pays more. If a man earns 300k and the wife earns 100k. Ratio will be 3/4 for the man, 1/4 for the woman. Men should stop this nonsense sole provider stuff na him dey kill most men. By 45 you are looking 60. Taking care of your wife and kids plus extended family. Abeg o

It surprises me people who shout equality when it reaches equality in responsibility in finance they all run into their hole.

When you are in a relationship ,I mean symbiotic and not parasitic relationship you are ready to share your resources to make the home front more equitable and lovely for all to enjoy.

If the man earns more he is expected to bring more but if the wife earns more she is expected to bring more into the union. Gone are those days when money is only hustled by a man now everyone makes money. My only reservation is for those who see money as a means to oppress rathrr than a means to alleviating societal and economic issues around ones precinct.

Relationship or marriage is not a place where a woman comes to enjoy, it is a place for work for raising the next generation of citizens of the world to make the world a better place. Take your mind off Hollywood fantasies and face the realities.

For those who don't see any reason to contribute to the running of their homes, I hope if divorce happens they won't stillbgo and seek fifty percent of what the man has built without their financial contribution.

The highest form of sacrifice for a spouse is when a spouse sees money as a tool for simple living, a tool to help family navigate the troubled vicissitudes of life then that spouse has conquered greed and selfishness.

I can't date a woman who is greedy, selfish, and self centered and only thinks of what she can benefit rather than what can benefit everyone in the union. I loathe greedy and self centered persons, the simplest way to catch them is to watch how they share after sharing yours with them.

No need to split bills. Women are helpless and must be pampered even when they earn as much. Some people pretend to be wondering why there are more widows than widowers. cool

/

Let them all go and look for billionaires to marry and leave men that are managing and earning a decent living for themselves.... grin

The day I read a female here say "why will I help my husband pay our child's school fees, did I force him to get me pregnant"..... That's when I knew some women are not meant for marriage.... Some don't just have the team-playing mentality even if they earn 300billion naira per day

Well!.... Its not right to split bills. Why is he a man? Nevertheless as he sees the wife as liability, and do all the spending as a man, so he also has right to side chickssss. After all he is the man.

Ponder on it

i agree with you,if the man earns far well than the woman, he is capable of handling the whole bill but a situation in which the man is struggling to pay the bill and the woman sees him struggling.Its wickedness on the part of the woman to say the man must provide for the house.A responsible woman shud support even if its the least of all the bill,she can offer to pay that.The bills in the time of our fathers are not the same with the bills now.women need re-orientation, i think this ought to be settled before marriage

I was asked before I got married whose responsibility it is to take care of the house, I said mine, 100%. My pastor's elder sister asked, if you are totally responsible financially for everything, what will your wife be doing with your salary?

It's been over a decade since we got married. We don't have rules when it comes to finances. Anyone sorts anything.

From the gist of all this.....people are not in marriage for love.... dem dey find who dem go dump all their problems on.

When you love someone, you want to do everything and anything for them, you want them to be comfortable, you want them to be happy, and you want them to live their best life.....

So a scenario where a bill needs to be paid, every man who loves his family will do everything in his power to pay his bills fully, but also a loving wife will see the efforts of her man and do all she can to support him...

The guy is right, you cannot approbate and reprobate at the same time.

Anyone who is greedy, self centered and can't share resources with his or her spouse has nothing to the in marriage .

What is marriage, is it the coming together of a single person or two persons to make a family unit .

Marriage isn't vacation where you come to enjoy, responsibilities, sacrifice, selflessness and commitment is necessary to make it work. Hollywood fantasies will mar you rather than make you. Open your mindset to partnering with your partner, it is called partner not a sole proprietor for a reason.

Marriage should be about what I bring to make the family better rather than what I take once this is the mindset there will be less friction and improved harmony I'm the home.

Financial responsibility in relationship isn't unidirectional but multi directional.
Re: What's Your Opinion About Splitting Bills With Your Partner? by Asu015(m): 2:54pm On Sep 29, 2023
Its totally unislamic, hence i'm against it.

Financial obligation for families is the sole responsibility of the husband 100%. Even if he has four wives

The divorce always hits them more... No more rent and bills free life.... It's funny that some of these women can't or don't want to pay their own bills alone because money is not easy...yet want to pressure another human being to do it alone in an marriage,that supposed to be a team-playing arrangement...

The divorce in Nigerian court is even more bad for them since they always like keeping custody....The court expect both party to contribute together so they bill u just 10k per month per child's upkeep....and ask you to chose any school u want for ur kids and pay the fees... If she insist on another school...she gets to pay....

BlissGod:


Thatโ€™s the most stupidest thing a woman should do. Support the home not splitting bills. A real man should never put such policy in his home, if he wants to live long.


There is nothing like real man', no man is real and none is fake. Every one has his template of running his home, that others template is different from yours doesn't make him real or fake man. Don't know why you guys are propagating this delusional mindset of someone different from you as fake.

The world is made up of diverse people and diverse ways of relating issues. That I want my partner to take part and join me in the running of the home doesn't make me fake and if I don't let her take part doesn't make me real.

I believe every adult irrespective of their position should be ready to be responsible, no one is disadvantaged, everyone should strive to make the home better and easier for members of the family.

Live your truth!

Naturally and biologically, a man feels worthy when he plays god; this immediately implies that he foots the bill for his woman and their home.

Realistically and given the sorry state of the economy world over, only a handful of the male population can provide 24/7 at full capacity.

So live your truth, get you a woman whoโ€™s on your financial wavelength (you never stop doing right by her and she understands that some days you will come up short, if ever).

Live your truth!
