Help! My Wife Is Driving Me Nuts by koife(m): 1:51pm On Feb 25, 2020
Hello fam, I'm not used to writing about my personal life. I try as much as I can to keep it off social media. On this very instance I'm tired and I desperately need honest advise, I'm also ready for insult.
I met my wife and we got married less than two years after our meeting.
I must say my wife is a quiet and slow person by nature and very churchy. I won't forget to add that since I met her I've had many blessings come my way. We are blessed with a 6 month old daughter.

My main issue with my wife is that she sees home upkeep as my total responsibility, yes, I do it but she hardly contribute anything and any time I'm coonstrained fin. She would say all manner of things. My wife isn't that a smart person, she would wait for you to give her direction in the simplest of things and shys away from taking charge and ownership.

I got a 6 digit job few days after introducing as her my fiancee to my parent and I'm often at sea for three more than 6 months. I've observed my wife isn't prudent with money no matter how much passes through her hands. At some point I'll get her attention how much she has spent without knowing and then she would go " wow, I didn't know it was that much" after doing some addition.
She works with insurance firm and her pay is within 60k (Max)/monthly...with that, she still get home support from me and my sister who is in USA. Recently I gave her her usual home support money and my sis did too....her allowance and commission came too. My wife had over 95k total in less than two weeks.

I was surprised barely a week and, I asked my wife support fix the car I left with her at home with just 5k since and i was yet to be paid salary. Note, I bought this car to ease her movement at her instance oo, she suggested the car is idle and we should get someone do bolt( taxify) just to get us additional cash.I got the driver do agreement with my lawyer via my coy and travelled shortly, the car alternator shut down and wouldn't charge, it was at that instance I asked her help out and she said she had no money on her and that she was barely surviving. I was shocked and Drew her attention to how much had gone through her hands in less than two weeks. Don't get me wrong, it might not be much to some peoples financial cash flow but we are Young family and less than two years in marriage. My wife believes once money comes, it's time to solve all her outstanding problem and ive told her she needs to prioritize.

Recently when I got to nja I left 600k in her account and told her we shouldn't touch it in case of family emergency but I noticed each time we have little need at home she would pressure me go get the cash. Some how we kept touching the money till it got to 300k and I travelled again.
I've tried my best to groom her and get her financial planning life better but she would not accept she has issue. I'm considering getting her family and mine involved but I dear it would out her in bad light before my family ( trying to protect her), I I decided to bring it here since it's faceless forum for candid advise

Need I also add that I can say one thing give times to my wife and she still gets it mixed up. I've asked her to read book and expand her intellectual capacity. It was just two weeks ago I forced her go defend her post graduate project after many years of abandonement....we quarreled. I later helped her arrange the work and pacify her supervisor allows her defend without paying school fees before I left.
Pls is my wife just dull or does it have to d with her character with life and money? Pls advise me coz I'm getting sick, really sick already. I'm typing this onboard on my way to Japan. I can't even concentrate

This is juicy


Its the same with all women. Thry like being spent on. Don't take it too serious its their way of telling a man they love them, by making men soend unceasingly. Listen, two weeks is too far. Don't tell her you're irritated. Try it again infact just two days from giving her 500,000Naira, she'll still say no money. grin Focus on the benefits, don't get irritated

God bless your union

You will date someone for one/two sometimes ten years, you will see various Traits and orishirishi, you will neither address it nor leave the person alone. You will now go ahead to marry and when they upgrade their level of fukeryy you will come and open thread complaining that you are going nuts angry undecided


Sorry but she has chosen the kind of life she wants. Right now as you are on your way to work out another pay check, she might be planning on an outing with the small boy drilling her coochie.

Lastly, sorry is all I've got for you.

You've a spend drift for a wife with little or no financial discipline. Usually your MIL or some close friends are behind this her attitude. It's a pity your kind of job permits you little or no time to groom your bride but she may learn the hard way someday.

Start by planning and providing for basics in the house whenever you're around. With an infant at hand get a family hospital where you provide certain amount of money in cover if you don't have health insurance. Your savings should be done by you in the interim till such a time when she has learned a few new things.

Don't forget to share details of your savings with her bro but manage the account yourself for now.

Hmmm... From your post, you're a very hardworking man who loves his wife but the issue between the two of u is more of her not being able to manage the finances well... If I'm correct all you have to do is;

Take charge of the financial spending in the house.. Like the time you gave her 600k incase of emergency, let that be the last time you would try it.. Only give her money that she would use for her personal upkeep and that of your baby..

About the part you complained of your wife being too dull, I believe you must have noticed this before getting married. If that be true, then it's too late to complain.. keep on loving her the way she is(no one is perfect) and do not ever in your life tell her to her face that she is too dull...

With time, when she realizes you no longer give her excess of cash like u used to, she would adjust her spendings...

Don't ever be pressured by anybody.... be the man of your house and not a sisi..

You must have noticed some of those traits in her during courtship, yet you went ahead to marry her. Bro, since you didn't dodge the bullet, carry your cross. Sooner or later, she will either leave you or frustrate your life when you are short on cash.

I'm not always comfortable seeing adults bring up family issues to Nairaland faceless forum where mostly kids and teenagers who know nothing about relationships and family dish out their uninformed advise thereby making the situation worse.

What happened to having a good talk with her and letting her know how much the family is losing as a result of her poor money management.
Sit down with her and draw the family budget, that is expected income, expenses and savings each month/year or quarter, make her responsible for the budget and always monitor performance on a timely basis.
Encourage her where she's able to cut expense and correct her mildly if need be. Continue to jointly want to improve in your finances and watch how good she will turn.
Like you noted, she has been a blessing to you and I'm sure she wants to continue to be a source of blessing to your family.

Wishing you the best in your marriage.

you have to play smart and be wise. She lacks financial discipline and such would wreck you or make you not achieve milestones. Give your wife as much as she needs. By the way it is not easy for your wife, leaving her for months because of money making. I think she wants to console herself with all the money you are making to feel better about herself since you are not at home. So you care about spending, she doesnt. Afterall your marriage is all about it. To restore normalcy, try and get a job that would make you spend more time with her and your daughter, so that you can bond with her. because at the moment is all about bringing money while there is someone happy to spend it lavishly.

Financial illiteracy is at the heart of everything wrong with her if your submissions here are true.

However, you know what they say about slow people or slow poisons?

I'd advise you to pay more attention whenever you are onshore and monitor your wife very well to be sure she isn't paying someone on the side who fills in, in your absence. Also, check to be sure she isn't busy with acquiring a personal property on the side.

Never say never my brother, shine your eyes well and you just might find out that her slowness isn't really a slowness but craftiness.

I wish you well and hope you are able to resolve this.

At least it's mainly financial issues, not infidelity or bad character. What you need to do is simple, take charge of your finances. Rely on yourself alone. Give her an allowance and don't add a dime more to it. You now know you have a financially unreliable wife, so take charge.

There's nothing we can do except for her to work on herself.
Most times the men complain abt women and finances until they stay around and discover how this money goes.

She can have a book where every expense is put down and then when you are back both of you can go through it and see where to work on.

It is not enough to judge her until you are in her shoes. Home support money takes care of a lot of things and if not careful, the woman will be tagged"wasteful".

For the mean time, save alone.

Still talk with her. Nobody is perfect, no one.
