If you like shake your teeth join.

How do you justify intentionally adding up to 100% to the original cost of an item? I bet you would be foaming if you find out your child has been inflating the cost of expense you have been handling personally.

Look at how eloquent you have been all over the thread justifying the margin of the addition.

Sometimes people just do these things.
Don't forget we have only heard his version of the story not hers.


I know of a couple that any small thing the man would say "at least I put money for food down before I leave in the mornings ". The wife will just have this quiet smile. When she put the baby at less than a year in a creche and went to search for work, the husband yari and that was when the bubble burst that it was #200 he put on the table every morning for a breastfeeding mom to eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Back then we used to wonder why she loved noodles so much.

"he said" he gives her 30k monthly. Every month? He has never missed it?
If she comes from a poor family (which might be the case considering he is paying her school fees) and is the eldest, that money can't be enough to cater for their needs. These little monies that come by can be handy.
I'm not justifying what she did.


And the hospital can never look at her like that. Do you know how many women they cover up?
Someone planned fake school receipt for her husband because after school fees he doesn't pay another dime in the school. The extra money was what she used to pay for some extra curricular activities for the kids, buy uniforms and books.

You are on point

Personally I have never given my better half less than she has ever asked for. Reason being that I can stake my life that she has never and would never add a kobo to what she actually needed because she know I will gladly go extra mile to see her have the best. Often, when I add extra to her request, she will call my attention that I gave her over the amount she needed. I will simply ask her to hold it incase she sees something nice to add to her list.

I really do not have issues withwife's that doubles their request just because their hubby is stingy. My concern is my betterhalf being a role model to my kids, not couching them to be money doublers in the future.

Mr Op though I am not married but I can help in my little capacity.

1) I have not seen any woman who does not Inflate prices to patch out little money though it's sinful. There are many ways of doing that. Even many students do that too wink. You both should laugh over it when you catch her and subtly correct her that you don't like it.

2) Sieve the advice you get here o, divorce is the order of the day maka akuko.

3) Does your wife know your salary and what you do with it? Does she know your short and long term financial goals? I think you should be a little bit free with her. She is your friend not your daughter. I have been living on stipulated monthly allowance from my dad since secondary school and I know how it feels coz my dad is strict.
My boyfriend is that humble that he opened up to me about his financial status and because I know, I don't demand from him but he supports me, and I am content and happy.
Maybe you should let her know about your salary and what you want to achieve. Plan it with her. She may even start reducing the way she spends coz she maybe seeing you as one very rich man. Please do not punish her by denying her the tight-fisted allowance. If she is not content with the 30k monthly, what then do you want her to do when you remove it for 2 months and she is a student? That's mean big bro and it's unfair. She is your wife, your body, your friend and all, so how can you deny yourself allowance for 2 months?
But I no go lie, 30k is very okay o coz you pay the whole bills and buy foodstuffs. So she is entitled to 1k daily? That's cool. cool it's like this because you have not opened up.
Please let it be a bedroom chat not chair chat.

In a nutshell. ...

From dating till marriage


Your union was founded on materialism and deception which must be sustained

.
the moment you renege from your initial agreement which is the basics and foundation of your marriage...hehehehe


as a student she has got flexible times to spend with highest bidders
.
it's a lie, it's so disrespectful of you to insinuate that his wife is a call girl. for the fact that she's in school doesn't mean she engages in bad things. for her being married and still continues to go to school shows that she has a sense of responsibility and that she isn't lazy. it's not easy being financially dependent. op kindly ask her why she added the money. talk it out, no confrontations please.

Chill.
She's in school right?
How far is it from home? She needs transport fare daily. With the recent hike, the least amount is most likely 600 naira daily. Multiply by 20 working days----- 12000. If it's higher than that we are looking at almost 20k
How long does she stay in school? If she stays till like 4pm, she needs to eat something even if she had breakfast at home. 200*20 -----4000
She will buy toiletries o..... Always pad is now 300 naira, God bless her if she has heavy flow. Soap and body lotion nko? Do you know ordinary weaving is now 500 naira. Retouching is up to 1k , relaxer is 3k. Prices of body spray is now doubled. And she has to look good for her husband Na..... Abi.
How many siblings does she have? Money for Jamb form, money for Nepa, money for food, papas drugs, mama's market is depleted and needs a little infuse of funds, house rent remain 10k make e complete, dem send junior comot from school because e never complete his school fees,
(all this is in my head, abeg)


If he didn't want so many responsibilities he shouldn't have married a student.
Asking a married-mother-student to get a job or start a business is putting undue pressure on the young woman.




Skypeme, my honest advice is for you and your wife to sit and analyse how much is needed to run the house. You give her enough money to buy the foodstuffs and you face the baby's needs. Then you put her on a trial for 2 months, she needs to know she is on trial o.
You see women have a way of finding where to buy things the cheapest not minding trekking to the end of the world for it.
That way she makes her honest extras.
The money that was never enough to cater for one month for us in my home now does for 2 months ever since I started going to Mile12.
All in a bid to get extras in my pocket grin
God bless you. and she may be scared of asking him of money, how he I'd calculating the money sef in %

How perfect was/is his response? He's free to declare whatever but that doesn't negate the fact that he's having some issues in his marriage right now which he wants to genuinely resolve, i mean that's why he put it out here to seek opinions..

I am nt wishing u breakup bro,just telling u that failure to resolve this her insatiable thirst will definitely lead to the marriage crashing,i knw what i am saying.U aren't earning that much and yet ur wife cannot be satisfied with the little u have,mehn,u need serious prayerv and counselling.u may think am spewing threats or trash,bt i am a man speaking with experience.


Above is the response he rejected.
Like I said, most responses on social media are very blunt and logical and many times, we miss it because we don't know all the details. One very little thing we omitted may make a lot of difference in our judgement if only we knew. But still, once we read the initial post, we've already had a certain mindset about the whole issue.
e.g, someone has a chronic cheat as a wife, what do you expect nairaland to say to the guy about d mother of four? Divorce her etc, meanwhile the woman was under a spell by her employee. The guy was lucky enough to jam a real pastor that told him the source of the problem, the man got his wife to see the pastor, the pastor prayed and the woman was back to factory settings. If he had done the smart and obvious thing, he will have ruined his marriage of 13yrs. Im not saying this is always true but, it happens.

Not just cuz she is a student


you practically married a greedy woman


Greedy people are selfish, self centered and inconsiderate


Since you pay all the bills including her school fees and other miscellaneous expenses


what are the things you presume she does with extra allowance you are obligated to pay her


these are among the things you need to know if you are really the head of your home

'Nigerian' marriages na wa.

@OP: you both need to court yourselves financially since it was obviously not done in courtship.

What is her views towards finances? What's yours? And then both meet at a midpoint.

I have never 'inflated' the price of anything right from when I was a kid.... I was taught it was stealing.

Again, we run 100% joint accounts so I might never understand the science behind inflating items.

Dear reasonable people on Nairaland, please I need your advise

My wife whom I love so much and also loves me too is entitled to 17.2% of my monthly income, my salary is 175kpm and she take 17.2% of this amount, yet she feels very uncomfortable with it

I pay the bills, buy food stuff every month and take care of our little baby girl

My baby girl does not take any local food, she takes only fresogold, tea and pap, the cost of fresogold is very high and she can consume 4tins in a month

My wife isn't not working yet she is still schooling and I pay all her fees,

I've never complaint of my duty as the head of the family yet she still feels unsatisfied with the 17.2% I give to her

Her primary duty in the house is to take care of our baby and prepare my dinner every week days and both break fast and dinner during the weekend

Recently I told her to take our baby to the hospital for treatment, our total bill was 11,500 naira but my wife suprisinly told me that the hospital bill is 22,700 naira which I immediately wired to her account

So I called the hospital to make inquiries about the exorbitant bill then I got to know that my wife inflated the hospital bill to 22,700 naira

I confronted her and she spoke to me very rudly I was not happy about this, I kept quite and didn't say anything about it again

I am thinking I should penalize her for her rude behaviour and the dishonesty she has melted on me

Will it be advisable not to pay her her monthly salary for two months ?

Will this correct her brain to default and what would possibly be the implication of doing this ?

She has not apologised and she has not seen anything wrong so far in what she has done
Oga! Oga! Abeg leave that aspect of inflation, na recession cause am, and me self I dey guilty of that inflation thing especially when am broke and hubby wouldn't understand that we have siblings, parents to assists too, it isn't all the time we will run to oga for money to assist our relatives, even though, I am not saying it is right or neither am I encouraging women to do same but I tell you, most women ate guilty of this sin andcwe can only but ask God for his forgiveness and mercy; so, unbehalf of inflation wives, shocked I say forgive madam but, being rude is a no no no for me. Marriage is really a compound project. Oga just let her know how you feel about her attitude and every other things will fall into place. Just tease her and love go start again.

But paying her salary no make sense to me at all oooo. You guys are partners in this business and should jointly plan the financial stability of the family. Why paying her salary when you guys are one, your money is her money and so also is her money your money. Well, whatever works for you guys and make your marriage a happy one, is welcome.

Guy, I love you for this. Do you know that I spent some days wondering what exactly this man gains or has gained from the nonsense he got into. Marriage favors women much more than men. In many cases, men rushing into marriage are often deceived by the initial feminine fantasies which always fades, and then when his eyes clear, and sees no value for what he pumps money into, trouble starts. I still wonder how someone in right mind pays all the bills of a full grown adult who doesn't even know the value of work.
