I just told my boo how much am being paid. I never tell anyone my salary except while negotiating for more

Is it a bad idea?

If there is love. No p

Wife yeah, GF nope!

^ I agree with u on that. I am sorry but naija men scare the crap out of me. Its even a very stupid thing for any lady to tell her boyfriend how much she earns. Anytime a lady does that I see her as insecure, trying to show off or trying to buy the guy. Somethings are best kept in your heart. The most stupid women are the ones that change their properties and assets to their hubby or bf's name. I had a friend in school back then that was the only one that knew all her mom's possessions, landed properties and assets. Her dad never knew anything about his wife's acquisition, which was wise as her Dad married another woman & my friend, her bro, sis and mom lived on their mom since then.

For instance, if I was about to purchase something expensive at a store or restaurant or something & a guy I know or a guy that is toasting me or am dating walks in, I will quickly change it to ordinary water or something very cheap and leave or wait for him to leave before I purchase what I initially wanted to purchase. Hahahaha I am sorry but I am so skeptical when it comes to naija men cos I feel they use everything to their advantage. I could tell my hubby a round figure or something close to what I earn but not exactly because its never a bad thing to play safe sometimes. Men also don't tell exactly what they earn to their wives or girlfriend so that they can spend on their other girlfriends or so that their wives/gf do not constantly nag them when they want some certain things they are reluctant to provide. Its just a man's way of curbing extravagance and buoyant expenditure that most ladies are fond of.

Wife, yes
Girlfriend depends on her mentality

Pls expansiate on the mentality bit.

It depends on how she reacts to money. How she spend her own money and how much I trust when it comes to issues regarding money

Well well well, i guess i agree with you. but how do you know if he/she is sincere about his/hr reaction to money?


I say this because i had an experience a time ago when my bank send credit alert to my home phone no(unfortunately my dad mobile no.) that he however became the one who tells me when they pay and how to spend the cash.

Now relating this to boyfriends/girlfriends, hmmm, you can never tell when one business that require finance might come up and vis a vis.

My frnd told me how much they were going to pay him even before he started the work, how about that? he knows how much i earn too but we never take advantage of each other. everything depends on individual relationship, how open, honest or sincere you find urselvs. it doesnt mean you don't hav ur privacy.

Good for you
