With permission-No
Without permission - Yes

Oh well. I tot that what's his is naturally mine. Taking the money for the family's upkeep is no different from taking out his car for a drive or using his sponge to take my bath, I think

shocked

@ OP

Someone I know used to leave his wallet on the night stand and just pick it up from there in the morning when he used to leave for work. He never checked his wallet since he knew nobody would take money without informing him. On one such day, was stopped on his way to work by the traffic police for violating traffic rules. He was asked to pay some fine and upon checking his wallet, he found it was empty! Obviously someone back home took the money without permission.

In your case it would be nice to tell him you've taken what you wanted after you have taken it so that he doesn't end up in an embarrassing situation like the one stated above.

Right on point.

It's wrong to take his money without his permission, except if he's not there and you truly need the money urgently. In that case, ensure you tell him ASAP.
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by peacettw: 9:59pm On Jan 26, 2011
Thanks guys. I will stop doing this cos i really don't want him hiding his money from me. That is a bit degrading. I had succumbed to the temptation when he formed the habit of giving me excuses whenever i ask for money for virtually everything including d upkeep of the kids. Worse, he claims he doesn't ve a penny but comes home wit expensive shirts, shoes, perfumes for himself wit d excuse that they were all gifts. Once saw d receipt of these 'gifts' and it was purchased by him. I really don't want to go into details cos i want this discussion to be light and free of malice. Bottom line, i will go back to asking though i already know what d ans is
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by dayokanu(m): 11:12pm On Jan 26, 2011
What do you do with your own money you make?

Doesnt he contribute to the upkeep of the kids?

@ OP
If you won't be offended when he takes money from your wallet, then all is fair.
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by honeric01(m): 1:22pm On Jan 27, 2011
Why do you think he's not giving you money at will? are you the "demand" "demand" type?

Has he been like this since you knew him?

some spouses have rules which they abide by, but this one can never work wit me, if i don't have enough money 4 what i want to get, the next thing i'm looking for is his wallet.
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by armyofone(m): 4:08pm On Jan 27, 2011
why should you be taking from the wallet when you are the manager and controller of the house. please take on my sister, it is good for your health.

When I need money too, Then what should I do since you hide money in your bra? Dip my hands into your bra take the money and tap the n11pples small wink wink wink

Then go and look for the wherewithall and stop taking money from his wallet.

He has a brain which I believe is not superior to yours, if he can make money, then you too can make money

You Dey Steal Money From Him Wallet And You Dey Ask "Does It Make Me A Thief"? grin grin
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by pslm23(f): 7:03pm On Jan 27, 2011
IMO, once married, everything you have is considered "community property" which means "In a community property jurisdiction, most property acquired during the marriage (except for gifts or inheritances) is owned jointly by both spouses and is divided upon death, annulment or divorce".

i know some people will say this law does not apply in Nigeria and my answer is so what? It makes common sense. When you become man and wife, everything including your pocket becomes one. As long as you inform your spouse that "hey honey, i took bla bla amount from your wallet for bla bla bla reason" this is to avoid having him worry that he's mis-placed the money or that he has been robbed by someone
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by MaiSuya(m): 9:42pm On Jan 27, 2011
Taking his money without his permission? If that's not stealing then I sure as h*ll don't know what is! undecided

If it was the man taking money from the wifes purse, WOuld the money still be seen as Joint income?
Re: Does Taking Money From Your Husband Make You A Thief by rasputinn(m): 9:37am On Jan 28, 2011
This taking you're talking about,is it the one that comes with the giving?cos taking not preceded with giving is stealing,don't try to garnish it under any community property bullcrap

There's a saying "different strokes for different folks", so I can only speak for myself. My husband does not ask my permission before taking money out of our account. He tells me what he's using it for but doesn't ask if he should take it and the same applies to me. Do i consider that stealing? NO! I still beliebe
Now if he wasn't a husband but a boyfriend with question mark, I might be inclined to call it stealing!
