Can A Woman Steal From Her Husband?

Its stealing, whats wrong with asking for it???

If your child took the money you would beat the living hell out of the kid.  Its disrespect for either party to do it to the other.  If you want something ask for it.  If they ar not around to be asked as soon as the arrive explain what you have done.

No wonder so many relationships have broken down with the lack of respect people have for each other and lack of common manners.

Imagine the money in his wallet is might not actually be his!

There is no excuse.  What you are describing is a relationship in trouble

well said!

Sometimes i just feel that stealing should just be out of the question for a woman.why would a wife go over to steal from her husband???

And what if the man is 'stealing' from his wife? Would you women condone it? Ete, I am tired for some women, they are advocating for feminism on one hand, while being dependent on their husband for finances on the other hand. What else do you want? You can't eat your cake and have it.

It is stealing, she obviously knew there was something wrong with it to go behind your back and take the money. If she can not be upfront and ask you for money rather than take it without your knowledge, then it shows she has no respect for you.

i don't think its stealing but a woman shouldnt take money from the husband without his knowledge because he might have budgeted that money for something else and not finding it there might make him angry.

LadyT, honestly, I was just laughing at your rebuttal. Very classic and straight to the point.  I hope other women would think like you.

Stealing can't be justified, no matter how meagre the amount it. Some of our leaders had the mindset, by stealing millions of Naira, because to them, the sum is paltry and would be undetected by the public. Marriages break down when there is no trust. So, for a wife, to go around sneaking behind her hubby's back, digging her sticky fingers inside his wallet, is condemnable.

Like I have asked those feminists on this board, "Why can't you all have a job, instead of relying on a man to provide you with basic necessities" If you are a homemaker/housewife, then, directly point out to your husband that the housing allownance is insufficient to cater to the needs of the household. If all else fails, get a job.

you are again comparing apples and oranges.A leader and his nation to a wife and husband.
Who are the feminists anyway?
My man knows I take lunch money all the time from his wallet and will not deny it when asked,he does not expect me to ask for permission to take $5 dollars,he is not that petty over little things and it works for us.

I guess I'll say it depends on what sort of relationship you have with your spouse.
whatever works for you then.
They say marriage has no formula so everyone to his own way.

Spare me.  I am asking you again, how do you explain what you are doing to your child when the child witnesses you stealing from his/her fathers wallet?  Do you tell the child what you are doing is right or wrong?

Its great that in your relationship stealing doesn't affect your trust issues.  And why don't you explain why you need to wait to be asked wheather you took money before you own up to your theft?

I'm sure your husband makes jokes to his friends about not leaving too much money in his wallet because of "lunching wife"

Don't you earn your own money?

Each to their own. 

Any wife, stealing 5 dollars from the husband has serious issues.@babyosis

I will not call it stealing but after taking the money you have to tell the husband.
my husband used to take money out of my bag. Thats because he never went to the bank so it was actually also his money he was taking.
But I had to tell him to let me know what he took out.
Just think about it i may go shopping only to find out i do not have money to pay because someone took some money out without telling me.
My kids also take money out of my piggy bank for their needs but thats what the piggy bank is there for,. if they need something either for cooking, school or common Transport money when am not home they help themselves to piggy bank and tell me when i get home.
When piggy is empty they tell me.
But when my bag is at home am at home too and be it Husband boyfriend or kids no one should enter my bag with out asking.

Piggy bank? 


Ummm. . na wa o  This topic is hilarious 

For as long as you let the person know either before or after the 'act', it's not stealing. On the other hand, it depends on what the money was used for and where or what the partner was doin while the money was taken. (May be sleeping or in the shower) Personally I'll demand an explanation, just to have a record of how I spend my money. No big deal! Money is not picked or plucked.

What might be disturbing is when it becomes a habit Be it for "lunch" or whatever. It's always good to have your own money and stop dippin fingers into people's wallet all in the name of "what is his is mine and what is mine is his". If it's like that, why is it mostly the woman who keeps taking from the man? 

Women should learn to be independent even with their man around them. Men respect such women!
Everyone deserves respect and the fact that one is married doesn't mean "what is mine is his and what is his is mine" should degenerate to cliche. 

_{$5 for lunch? what d'u eat with it, Osisi?}

No wonder we now have two strangers living in a house and calling it a union of one.
God help us!

I never have to answer for money taken from my hubby's pocket or bank account for that matter. since we got married we are one, needless to say whatever money he earns is ours and whatever  I earn is ours. Been married for 25 years.

I would very much say yes to that, because i have seen cases where it happened. Believe it or not, my uncle's wife does it alot to the extent that he had to change the combination to the locks of his briefcase. Well, i don't think it is a good thing to do. Why not just ask like the bible has said, afterall he is your husband and he owes it to you. Haba!
