Hmmm.. Maybe you should talk to her to gain her confidence incase her salary is bigger than yours which could make you feel inferior if she tells you. Seek for her assurance first that if hers is bigger than yours, it wont cause misunderstanding btw you guys.

Incase you want to know how much she's worth; how much she's in her account. Get her phone secretly, get the code to buy airtime from her bank and use her phone to get the airtime. Her bank acct balance message will be sent after you must have gotten the airtime. Be smart about this. You'll know how much she's worth and may not need to bother about her salary amount anymore if need be.

Cheers.
evil genius!

Let me advance some reasons:

Some men are spendthrifts, they spend their money doing good outside (which is not totally bad) except that sometimes, it impoverishes the home. Then they come home and toast their wives to raise them, which is also not bad except when the man has no control and goes back to use the money for Sara forgetting the needs of the family. Oh! We don't blame them, cos we know its not deliberate. They just don't know how to say no to people outside. So if he does not know how much you earn he can't feel bad if he asks and you say you don't have cos you know what he wants to do with the money and in your accessment, his need is actually a want.

Some men upon knowing their wife's salaries stop spending for the home because of the archaic belief that they own the woman and everything about her because they have paid bride price.

Some men upon knowing their wife's salary want to dictate and decide what she spends her money on and complain if she spends (too much in his estimation) on her family, forgetting that without her family she would be nowhere...a nobody.

A good wife helps a man plan their life by channeling the family funds to the right projects I.e buying a land, building a house, saving for the kids, some men just don't think about these things.

Op, I want to opine that the reason your wife is keeping it secret from you is probably the same reason why you are anxious to know it. However, am sure when you married her you intended to be the head of the family in terms of responsibilities. Please carry your responsibilities like a man and forget about her salary. You should only worry if she does not spend a dime of her money in the house irrespective of what she earns. If she spends her money on household stuff, plans your family with you and occasionally buys you gifts, biko let it rest.

Just so you know, I have been married 8 years, and I don't think we have ever formally discussed my salary. I don't care how much he makes though I have an idea and am sure he knows mine too because I leave my pay slip around but when we discussed the issue of a joint account, I refused it and I am glad I did. It definitely would have caused some issues.

My two cent.
Thumbs up! May God bless u dear.

When a man knows about how much u earn, he won't take full responsibility in family
He will keep lying 2 u on how he doesn't hav money 2 solve d family pressing needs. Esp whn it has 2 be 2 provide 4 d children's needs. Again he will always spend d money on his mistress knowing fully well dat u wil help out cos u can't sit & watch ur children starve due 2 d mother child r/ship. Again he will use ur kindness & care 4 providing 4 d family as ur weakness & will always like 2 use his man trick, 2 win ur hrt even u say u dnt have any money
So Ladies, stay alert, dnt let them fool u wit their love/romance tricks 2 help him carry his responsibislities, but I will, advice take cautions on how 2 solve needs in d home, dnt give in totally else he will use u................
Stay safe, & remain home builders.... We Rock

My wife has been hiding her salary from me. Even when we were dating thou saw it as normal till now 2 months into our marriage and she still refuse to tell me her salary but she knows mine.


Why do people hide there salary especially girls?

The only reason she hides how much she earns is because she sends money to her relatives, family.
If you wanna know how much she earns, just dig around or play a fast trick on her.
Women have small brain.

Very simple. It's because it is either too small from the expectation of people or too big.

Re: Why Do People Keep Their Salaries Secret? by MWorkers(m): 9:09am On Nov 11, 2015
Lack of 1 Corinthians 13 is the reason. Sex is not even secret, it is only private. Anything that is known to more than one person is never secret. Even the dishonourable and undistinguished parliamentarians are only playing pranks with some gullible Nigerians over their esoteric salaries.

If she has decided to keep her salary a secret, pls let it remain a secret for the good reason listed above...

What's the point of knowing her salary and starts having sleepless nights and low libido? grin

You can do an underground search. Ask people in her place of work in a playful way if you are close to any, check her phone for alert. She might be using her money to sponsor someone or taking care of her family needs or even investing.
My wife is not that way and I don't wana stalk her I want her to come out natural

I think ur wifey has an attitude problem, I see no reason why wifey or husby shld be keeping secret in a marriage, except there is something u are not telling us here.
Mine doesn't keep such, we know each other's worth and it has been helping the marriage.
(NB) People differ in nature , so whatever ur case is, deal with it wisely & move on.
