Any man whose wife has to resort to stealing his money for any reason is not worthy to be called a MAN angry


My wife does not need to steal from me.. If my money gets missing in my home, I automatically assume she took it and I dont bother about it.


O.P: Go and hussle to make money! When your money is long, your wife steals your 1 million, you no go even notice till after 1 year when them bring you account statement.

Kai!!

You know fuel bought is not returnable, and he might even get embarrased for trying to play a fast one.

So are you also free to pack your wifes jewelry and go sell it, your wife come home pack the TV and go sell, while you carry her car and go sell?

LMAO. That is why you need your ATM Card handy. Ol boy, yes you can. That is why a male or female, you need to know who you are marrying. Have you not heard of dudes that marry ghetto chicks and come back from work one day, and all their stuff don disfarahan? E go do you like film trick. When they call the police, those ones will come and tell you that it is a domestic issue and they cannot get involved.

I'm Igbo too, and I agree that my wife should be able to take money from my wallet. But I expect her to let me know about it and certainly not deny it when I ask.

It's so important to choose a wife wisely. I could never marry a thief.

chaircover: Its wrong.

Its wrong because someone else has been accused of taking the money, which isnt fair
Its wrong because she knows that the hubby is always looking for his money
Its wrong because she has access to money. The poster said there was a 50k in the room
Its wrong because her husband doesn't like it
its wrong because they dont have that kind of relationship

@poster you need to sit your wife down and ask her why she does it. it could well be that her allowance is not enough, or you keep on asking her to account for everything she spends (some men do and think they know prices of items in the market more than their wives)

Do you give her a free hand with money?

Why do you threaten to cut her allowance? what will that achieve? More "stealing" I would have thought. Have you also considered that she may be taking the money to save for a rainy day since you seem to like to threaten that you will cut allowances.

There is a difference between having access to ones husbands money and a difference between having free use of the money. if she is going to have to account for every penny she spends, then you havent really given her the money if you get what I mean.

Anyhow have a chat with her and encourage her to open up to you as to why she is doing this. Who knows she might be thinking that you squander money away too much and she is "saving" the money for a rainy day. Ask her sha she may or may not come up with a reason that will really surprise you.

hectortex: I have got this little problem. Am a cash person, i carry much cash around more than i might need at a time.
At first i blamed my sister for the shortages i encounter because she used to do that way before i got married until she swore to me she dosent have access to my money with my wife around. my wife has also been privy to my decision to cut her allowances on several occassions cos of this same issue. until this morning, i discovered yet another shortage and due to a mild fever last nite, i was practically in our room the whole nite. so there was no question of anybody else taking anything in my absence. Ok i was very mad so i grilled her and threatened to make things difficult if i didnt get the money all the while hoping i was wrong about her.
this evening she opened up on how she did it and has been doing it for a while.
my problem is not like she hasnt got money, i make sure of that. she got access to about 50grand right inside our room but couldnt take her hands off my wallet.
i dont know how to handle this; am thinking of pulling a plug on all her allowances except the very basic ones and keeping my wallet far above her reach. I just dont know if its a right move.
If you were in my shoes,what would you do??

N.B: mod please i would want this to remain here in the family section


Look at the highlighted portion... 50'k.. in 2013!!

You need Jesus..

Your wife takes money from your wallet.. Stop hiding it. Make it available to her. let her know that she can go in and take money without your consent. Let her know that all she has to do is inform you later that she took out money.

You sound like a controlling stingy MOFO!!

Haba. The only problem is that she lied about it (even though she later confessed). If money is missing I wouldn't even know. I always tell my wife: na both of us go drink garri together. No wahala. Even if I noticed a shortage and ask her, if she tried to keep a straight face, she would just start laughing. But for the dude here, I no know ooh.

Its so unfortunate that most of the working class "independent" young ladies here are involved or in support of the silly act of stealing from their husbands while they use the "we are one" phrase to make the "crime" look as if its nothing.

I wouldn't mind handing over my credit cards and cheque books to my wife...but its a NO NO to touch little change in my wallet secretly.

I just can't stand liars....not to talk of a lying wife. shocked

This post makes no sense and i guess you are tricking gullible female nairalanders to bliv u are that generous.

I saw '50k in 2013' in your post, that is somebody's monthly gross before tax.

Besides, if your wife takes your money uncontrolably and your daughter and sons take after her, you will allow them become arme robbers all in the name of afterall , they are your kids.

Common call a spade a spade.

She stole the money, kept quiet until he threatend her before she confessed to it. THAT IS STEALING nothing romantic about it.

She has been stealing the money and watch her husband harrass her sister in law and she kept quiet until a threat before she confessed.

50k as petty cash within the house is not bad even if you are more comfortable than you portray on Nairaland page. If your wife spends more than that sporadically, you are not rich, you are heading a family that lacks discipline and organization. ok ?

Bros, i get your drift. This case is very different except the correct picture was not painted.

If she has access to the wallet, needed money, used it and inform the hubby, i don't have any problem with that but she took the money, probably heard hubby accuse some one else and was silent.

Until all evidence point to her before saying yes. That is embarrasing and it is called stealing. Even if the guy is stingy., worst case, spend and tell him "O boy i have used the money i found in ur wallet for xyz"

[b]Generous?! NO!! I cant be generous to myself. If this OP saw his wife as part of him, then this would not ba an issue. Leave the kids out of this (no time to cheap sentiments here).. His wallet is her wallet. If 50'k is his gross, then he needs to go and up his hussle because thats beer paalour money (no apologies).

I am also married.. My wife has full access to my money. I can get a random alert and I will simply call and enquire if she just made a transaction on my account. She ofcourse wuld tell me why and I'm happy she isnt a reckless spender. This is because I am financially open with my wife. Do you realize that you only steal that which you cant get. If his wife steals his money, then that means she cant get his money.

Uncontrollably?! If he is open with her and she knows his financial standing and dealings, I doubt she would take his money recklessly.. Except he married a triffling hoe which themn means, this post is not for him.
