You are even lucky she didn't leave you alone with the kids and go away, when things were hard. Some women will leave their husbands and go for someone richer. They won't endure the suffering

There is nothing new about what you wrote, this is while i tell guys, no woman on earth loves you like your mother. every woman that loves you, loves you because you are higher than her in wealth, academics etc the moment you fall below her levels, you a goner. Naturally women goes for men that are higher them them, while the men goes for woman that are lower than them. In marriage never ever, i mean never ever allow your women to me wealthy than you, if she is wealthy than you, lets say you earn 2M and your wife earn 3M, you are still good to go as a man, because your 2M would cater for your family, but if she earns 3M and you earn 500k, na sorry be your own. woman are built to worship men because of wealth, so if you deny yourself of her worshiping you because say you poor, na your fault.

This scenario you just described accurately tells the story of how most women are undecided...

And it's so unfortunate that men realize this way too late undecided...

Men listen!
Your respect in the eyes of 99% of "your beloved wives" is tied to your ability to provide, lose this ability and watch your "loving wife" become your worst night mare undecided...

The truth about the average woman is that, They are incapable of loving a man GENUINELY undecided...

If there's nothing to gain from you, be it time and attention or resources, then they have no business with you, talk more of respecting you undecided...

Respect is organic; a woman that cannot respect her husband in adversity doesn’t have what it takes to give him genuine respect if roles are reversed.Unless Jesus Christ happened to her.

I'd like to share a story with you. I enjoy stories, as they are often what older folks excel at. 😄

My church hosts a program from time to time; it's an all-night event where singles of marriageable age and selected married individuals come together to discuss various aspects of marriage.

On one occasion, a topic was brought up, and women were discussing at length how they could love a man and do everything right, yet things don't always work out. As people began giving reasons for such situations, I was given the microphone, and I suggested, "Perhaps you should consider respecting them instead of just loving them. If what you're doing isn't working, why not try something different?" This led to a lively debate, which I won't go into, but one woman took it personally, and we had this conversation.

Woman: Are you married?

Me: No, ma'am.

Woman: I've been married for years, and I can emphatically tell you that love is what has held us together from day one. We've been through a lot and come out stronger because of love. You're not married, so you may not know enough to form an opinion on this issue.

The women in the audience applauded her.

Me: That's beautiful, ma'am. When did you meet your husband?

Woman: A few months after school; I was staying with my uncle and waiting for my service year.

Me: Was he a student too?

Woman: No, he was already in business and doing fairly well.

Me: How long did you two date?

Woman: Just a few months. He made it clear that he was looking for a wife, but we didn't get married until after my service year.

Me: That's wonderful. Now, let's imagine a scenario where your roles are reversed. You are a successful businesswoman, and you meet a young man fresh out of school with no job and no NYSC certificate yet, and he proposes marriage. Would you have married him as quickly as he married you? Please, be honest; we are in a church.

Woman: What are you trying to say? That I married him because of money or something? I love my husband, he knows it, he sees it, and he feels it. He's here and can speak for himself.

Me: Thank you, ma'am, for being honest with me.

I summarized the conversation, which was quite lengthy and filled with drama, but I believe you can still grasp the main point from this excerpt. 😄

I will marry second wife,

Tallesty1:
I just watched a clip that inspired this post.

Imagine this scenario.......

You are married to a beautiful woman, and you have like three kids. It is a beautiful family, really.

You have a nice house, a good ride, beautiful children, always selfie-ready wife, and salary alerts keep coming. Then life happens, and you start losing things until nothing is left. No salary, no more savings, and you're officially wiped out by poverty.

Your wife has something she does for a living, makes her own money, and does whatever it is that women do with money. You never cared because you were doing okay, but now the tides have turned.

Naturally, you expect her to provide support while you work harder to regain your footing. But what you are getting from her is something you never knew she was capable of: insults upon insults, disrespect, and all. This lasts for a year or two.

Then, fortune smiles on you again and you get back on your feet. As usual, there is money now, and your wife is the woman you married at first. She is loving again, respectful, and caring.

I want to know, will you still go back to loving her like before, as if the past two years' experience never happened, or are you going to quit?

Many individuals find themselves in unfortunate situations within marriage due to a lack of proper insight into structuring their families. Marriage is often described as a union, and this concept can be extended to financial matters. When you get married, it's as if you're entering into a partnership, but in this case, the partnership is limitless. This means that everything you own and will own as long as the marriage continues belongs to the family unit and not just to one individual.

Both partners, husband and wife, pool their incomes periodically, typically on a monthly basis, into a joint account. From this joint account, financial discussions revolve around joint investments, properties, assets, and even businesses. It's advisable to maintain a joint account for general and household expenses, while each partner retains a single personal account. Allowances for personal expenses are disbursed from the joint account to individual accounts. All other assets, investments, and savings are considered family assets rather than individual ones. This approach ensures a unified financial front within the marriage. If couples structure their finances in this manner, issues such as one partner experiencing financial difficulties and the resulting strain on the relationship can be minimized. Within a marital partnership, there should be no concept of one partner being financially down; instead, it's a collective responsibility. Everything should be managed together, reinforcing the idea that "the two shall become one," as emphasized in the Bible.

It is often claimed that women's affection for men is conditional, contingent on what they can provide. Some argue that women may leave when there's seemingly nothing more to gain. While there might be instances where this holds true, it's important to note that this perspective doesn't apply universally, especially within the context of marriage.

Most women often prioritize their happiness in a relationship, they just want to be happy and comfortable, the responsibility lies with the man to possess a high level of financial intelligence and literacy. He should take the initiative to propose how the family's finances should be structured, explain this plan thoroughly to his wife, and help her understand that this approach benefits her and the entire family. Joint financial planning extends beyond just financial transparency, shared goals, reduced financial disputes, emergency preparedness, investments and savings. For instance, in the unfortunate event of legal issues, the impact is limited because neither party individually owns these assets; they are collectively owned by the family.

Persephone1:
How did the man handle his own loss and misfortunes?

Most men struggle to remain the loving, responsible, cheerful and peaceful men they were when they experience setbacks. Most men's mental stability is attached to their ability to provide and spend. How do they react when things don't go the way they want.?

I believe this narrative of women changing when things go sour should be checked. It is far from reality! It is an exaggeration also. There are women who stand by their husbands . At least "your mothers" did that. And when women change was it really due to lack of funds or the inability of both husband and wife to manage themselves.

You all want women to support and also care for an overgrown harsh baby who refused to grow up and work towards overcoming his challenges. Abeg!
You are asking for too much. How do you expect a man who just suffered major setbacks to remain the "loving, responsible, cheerful and peaceful man" he once was? Are you living in la-la land? Such experiences are too jarring to ever make him keep his head straight. Of course, this doesn't justify assaulting his wife, sexually, physically or emotionally. Having said that, this is probably the time the man needs his wife more, to stand by him and make him whole and not judge him based on his misfortune. I wonder why you can't see that.

Bro once you are in the trap called marriage,

You shouldn't let little things that you should have known before now divide your home.

What you should do is this: Involve your wife in the family financial responsibility since she makes income too, so that you can also make investments as the bread winner, from your story, every damn expenses is on you, that's way too bad, if you go broke 100 times, that woman will disrespect you 100 times

Well, well, well (konga, konga, konga) grin. The character your wife exhibited while you were down is her true, without make-up, character. I believe you can still live with her since she is the mother of your children and also for the sake of your children but if I were you I would always have a back-up plan going forward in case things go awry again tomorrow because your wife has proved not to be dependable. Now when I say have a back-up plan I do not mean that you should have another woman outside, the issue was a financial issue so I would advise you gradually wean her from having knowledge of most of your finances, bank accounts and dealings since it is evident that she is only in that marriage for what she can get. It's should be obvious by now that you are the only person in this marriage by yourself so better start saving and investing so you can have something to fall back on if finances dwindle again. Also make sure that from now on as far as finances are concerned make one of your children your next-of-kin 'cos if anything happens to you tomorrow there is no guarantee she is going to spend your assets on your children.

Personally, I don't take it lightly when people show me their true self, it's actually a prolonged episode of the Freudian slip.

Wotoporiously cool speaking

Women of this generation can never respect or love you if you're not financially important to them, a very few percentage of this women can hold it together when a man is down, that's why I test them cuz only then you'll see their true colour.

Know this and know peace.

Back to the question at hand, if na me I can never be cool with her anymore especially when I didn't do anything to get that level of treatment handed to me.

One of the things I hate most in relationships is when one partner feels he or she's got the right to treat the other with lack of respect especially when they're no more of financial benefits to them, women tend to do this alot.

I'll give her the same treatment she gave me so that her head go reset, nobody is a kid so everybody should be held responsible for their actions.

You are asking for too much. How do you expect a man who just suffered major setbacks to remain the "loving, responsible, cheerful and peaceful man" he once was? Are you living in la-la land? Such experiences are too jarring to ever make him keep his head straight. Of course, this doesn't preclude assaulting his wife, sexually, physically or emotionally. Having said that, this is probably the time the man needs his wife more, to stand by him and make him whole and not judge him based on his misfortune. I wonder why you can't see that.
Okay... I couldn't drive home point because I was trying to be modest. Broke men get grumpy, irrational, harsh unnecessarily angry, very touchy, mushy , annoyingly timid. Most times their women have to walk on egg shells around them so they (husbands) won't find fault and blow little things out of proportion. When wives finally get tired of such lifestyle and react, men will attach it to their "inability to provide" or "because I lost my job" . And pity party starts. That's the point. How do you expect women to cope with these.

Yes no one is asking you to be perfect and be loving or responsible all the time but how do you handle yourself when thing go sour without making the next person pay the price.

I'm not sure I'll be able to love her the way I used to before , my guards will always be up that whenever life hits again this woman will turn to someone I never knew.
