That's why I will respect my mom for life. This chewing gum gals keep their money for competition with other gals.

Note : until you reason maturely has an homemaker that's when you are a wife but if u don't then you are still a gal

It is not in a woman's nature to give, only to receive.

Yarnvibes:
One of the jokes that went round in the social media last week could pass off as humour at the expense of the womenfolk. It says “Gentlemen, if you have N5,000 in the house and your wife has N55,000, the total amount of money in that house is N5,000. Are we together?” Of course, the men are together on this.

They believe the women will never disclose the actual amount of money they have to their husbands. But can we say women are also together on this issue? Interestingly, many women are in agreement with the men. The wife believes the husband is the head of the family and it is his responsibility to provide everything that will be needed in the house.

After all when she married him, she dropped her maiden name and adopted his name while all their children bear his name, he should therefore be ready to shoulder all the burden. There may be few exceptions but most housewives don’t like their husbands to know how much money they have.

Although, it is believed that about 50 per cent of all the spouses hide money from each other, women indeed, are accused of being the greatest culprits in this regard. In fact, one in every five Nigerian women is said to be guilty of keeping many secrets when it comes to the issue of money.

While this has become a major factor undermining the progress of the home front, many have argued that some women today have their reasons for resenting wholesome financial contributions to family.

The question then is, what would make a wife conceal so much from her husband especially when it comes to financial contributions to family affairs? Take this: A woman has, for example, N100,000 and all the husband has is N50,000 and sorts out a N40,000 family responsibility. Then another responsibility of N10,000 arises.

The woman would keep her money in tact and would want the husband to also fund the N10,000 responsibility and go empty handed. These things happen in our homes all the time. Why are women this way? Is it an act of wickedness, selfishness or greediness?

According to those who spoke to Saturday Vanguard on the matter, some women feel reluctant to ask their husbands for money for all the things they want for themselves. They, therefore keep their money and use it for their own needs. To these, it is simply the man’s place to provide for the family. They hardly part with their money for any family matter that does not concern them. Other women also, are said to resent their husbands’ assumed right to decide how much they should be spending on anything.

The reasons range from behavioral attitudes to social factors and even fears of the unknown.

“Hiding money helps a woman get around some problems like supporting her parents and siblings financially,” according to Chuks Nwanne, a journalist. But for Femi Salawu, Media Communication Practitioner, a woman who hides her money from her husband shows that she has trust issues.

“Although I don’t have evidence for it but I consider it to be common place that majority of women who hide their money from their husbands do so in retaliation to similar behaviour from their husbands, not necessarily because they are bad. Having said that, I don’t think it is a good attitude in a home.

Trust is the foundation of peaceful home and how couples handle money will reveal their faith in each other.

This may be through but all the women in my life think differently. I have seen my mum assisting my dad on different occasions as she has shouldered more financial responsibilities than my dad without making noise about it. My two sisters also share same character and my wife to be has proven to be selfless when it comes to spending.
I can't go close to any woman with such character

This is not totally true. This is my 9th year in marriage. You know what? My hubby earns far lower than I do and am still praying to God to bless him more than me. To God be the Glory, all our properties so far are being bought with my money without you knowing. He feels less of a man sometimes that he cannot meet up with the family responsibilities. He's really working hard and I know someday, things are going to be better. My sisters assist their husbands as well. I came from a family where you don't neglect someone who is in need not to talk of your spouse. To crown it all, my mum was a superb woman, a real genius who would go extra mile to take care of her husband, children and all who encountered her. I can never forget all the good things she taught us and we are reaping her good deeds today. It so unfortunate that she didn't really enjoy us before she died. Rip Mum.

if my wife try am,na that day the marriage go end

zanga420:

@repo, don't even go there. Like ladies don't chase dick as well. When I was younger, I used to think ladies don't need sex, that it's men disturbing them, until I knew all na pretense.

I respect ladies alot but when the obvious is stated let's not try to twist it. Thanks dear

A lady colleague was asking me some time back, if a man n a earn same salary, the lady'll still expect to receive from the man? I couldn't give a reply

I know that gal. She is above 30 and not married. She will be single for long. Even if she gets married, she won't enjoy the bliss of marriage.

CzarChris:
That's why I keep praying for God to give me a wife that would treat me the way my mum treated my dad. At a point my dad couldn't get a contract for over 3 years, my mum shouldered the responsibility of the home single handedly all through, through her business. Nobody knew that the home was in distress for a second.
Remembering those days I feel like giving my mother the world if I could.

repogirl:
My simple point is..... You men complain a lot. Seizing the slightest opportunity to bash the female folk. So why not simply boycott females since we are such a headache?

Agreed! we are Oloshos, prostitutes, greedy, lazy, we want to run men broke, we are promiscuous, dubious and insensitive. Simply put we are a nuisance to the society. So why not leave us alone nah?
