Can A Woman Steal From Her Husband?

for God's sake what is wrong with saying, "honey i took so and so amount of money from your wallet, while u were in the shower. . . need to pick up sompn on my way back from work"

or better still, "honey, i and the kids are on our way to mr biggsyes we emptied your wallet! u are also invited but make sure u bring your own money, because we're not sharing this one."

please some ladies should stop defending this bad habit of taking your hubbys money without even being decent enough to tell him about it. then it becomes pure stealing!!

imagine the molestation. . . . .

i think the best thing is to inform your hubby before such action, the funniest thing is he may not like it but pretend as if he does, thereby, discussing it with friends and some peeps close to him just as the author of this post did.

Irrespective of the amount involved, I think it is very disrespectful and in very bad taste for anyone to take money from anyone else without telling them, either before or after. I would consider it very disturbing if my hubby takes money from my handbag and then keeps numb about it like nothing happened. That's deception!! . I can't imagine myself doing the same wrt him either -- that's just so low. What would that achieve, other than create an uneasy silence and tension?? There's nothing wrong with asking him before hand or letting him know after the fact (and this is only if it was absolutely impossible to let him know before the fact.)

@ Poster: If it really bothers you, I suggest you let your wife know and you both work out a way for this not to happen again. Find out the reasoning behind her behavior (could it be that she's afraid of asking or has become wary of the types of responses she gets each time she asks that she now thinks it's better to just take it without going through all of the stress involved with asking?) and do all you can to nip that undesirable attitude in the bud. And you might also want to consider always leaving her with well enough money to take care of her needs and those of the family, so that she doesn't find it necessary to go pick-pocketing (not that the attitude is justified at all, but sometimes people act out that way out of lack). Just my 2 cents.

Case closed then, I suppose?

    

I don't think its the best for a girl (wife) to:

(i) keep secrets from her hubby

(ii) take money from the hubby without permission

But we have come to realize that we are not in a perfect world, so relationships are not perfect either.

I had this girl who is a student, and is financially challenged. She feels shy asking for money, especially if its for some really personal, or sometimes. family issue.

More than once she had  picked up money on my table, pockets etc and send me a text like "please I took N1000 from your pocket to solve a pressing issue, can we not talk about it?". I hardly get upset with her because I think she is matured and sensible and knows what she is doing, most likely she would feel embarrassed raising family issues and asking for my assistance.

Certainly she does not steal this money from me, she is only embarrassed discussing some things with me but hopes that I would understand.

yes so, you are honest, and have a good husband, haba, how can a man call his wife a thief?, God forbid, if your wife steals from you, as in intentional stealing, then there is a BIG BIG problem!!!She is certainly not your wife, maybe married you for your money, or maybe you de set blow take sleep(stingy),

Yes a woman can steal from her husband, if it were not stealing she'd simply tell him after taking it after all whats his is hers. I think we should be open about it then its not stealing.

if it's a huge sum, she b ole! 
if it's 'chicken change' u have-she no b ole
if it's 'chicken change' u aint got, and she knws ure broke-she's a big thief 

no b person d man be?, if he constantly denies her provisions and sprays it on mistresses, then its probable that she'l steal.

You see, majority of men are highly tight fisted, they forget all those juicy promises they made at the beginning and turn into glue hands.

You sure know that your wife is in real need of something you know you can afford, instead of you to be the man you are and provide it for her, then you deny her of it giving one stupid excuse or the other, and trust some women, since you refused to bring it peacefully, they decide to take it forcefully and I think this is what our Dear poster is talking about here,

cause as long as I know, no reasonable woman in her right sense will like to steal from her husband (except those born with the blood of a thief), even if not husband, no responsible lady will like to steal from her boyfriend.

You know ladies when they want something they know you can afford and you bluntly refused to give it to them because you want to meet some other unnecessary need, Trust them, they will look for the nearest means to get it from you even if it means stealing it as you said.

I have seen this happen a lot of places.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

The fact that she said what money do you have that is not mine tells me that she did not feel like she was stealing the money. Why would you call it stealing if your wife takes money from your wallet? That seems strange. I take money from my husbands wallet all the time if I didn't get money from the ATM. He is okay with that especially since I usually work late and I am not comfortable at the ATM when it's dark. He just needs to go get some more if he needs the cash that desperately. I can't even imagine that leading to my husband calling me a thief. I think that is too harsh.
