Wouldn’t it be best for the wife to go get her own house too since owning property is alien to married women. That way the man can exert all the authority he wants in HIS HOUSE and she can do likewise in HER HOUSE. I mean since it’s not THEIR HOUSE

This is an anomaly.

Why should a wife and mother start a power tussle for influence over a man's attention, money and support?

Nobody sees nothing wrong in this situation?
Nairalanders come from dysfunctional homes?

I love the right wing! cool

It is an uncomfortable reality that many adults around struggle with psychological separatedness (individuation) which is more prevalent with some sons and their mothers .

Trick question.

Even the mother knows that the wife has more rights in the house that she does.

For some mothers, it takes time to come to terms with that. Especially with their first sons.

Only you know how you reached this conclusion
Lol, why would any wife think to build "her" own house? I know women build and own properties but I have never really seen a woman admitting that her husband's house is his house. It is so weird. Maybe the husband made her feel so?

It means the house your husband built is clearly only seen as his??

I ask because, my understanding is, when a man builds his house with his own money and he is married, both the man and wife see it as theirs.
The wife nor the husband does not go about thinking, "it is his house" but "our house" get?

So for you to be thinking of it as "his house" and with a future intention to owning "your house", man! The thing is confusing me.

So, even though you both are married, there is still a dichotomy to his things? I don't really get...

You don't really need to explain things to me, I am just trying to explain my state of mind when I read your post.

Did you read that particular statement in it's context?
My point was I couldn't tell a man that his mother can't live with us especially when he spent his money to build that home. My Point was it's wrong to tell him his mother couldn't live with us in her old age if the need arise. I would need to go and build a house of my own to justify that kind of entitlement.

Okay, I think I get now. It was all written from an argumentative point of view.
Yeah, i understood the context with which you wrote it but it also seemed like it was very personal.

If you noticed, my reply to you was a question, I wasn't so sure of what I was reading so i had to ask.

Yeah. It might take a while for some. But any wise mum can't drag rights in her son's house. No one dragged rights with her in her own husband's house.

Some mums just find a way to attach themselves to their sons thereby creating problems for the wives. If they had their lives separate from their sons, life would be better.

your mother has full right in her own husband's house. Your house belongs to your dear wife so she has the full right

Your mother wouldn't even dare claim right in her son's house. She'd be enlightened if she does that

What’s an anomaly is that two full grown adults decide to get married and build a home together yet somehow the woman is not regarded as a true partner in that home. It’s his house. Even though they built it together. And y’all are okay with such useless terminology. The man’s house. Under the man’s roof.
No wonder some women are hesitant to invest with their men.

It’s high time y’all stop.

You cannot say what I want to hear.
It is beyond the capacity of a red demon piller.

How can a young, supposedly sane man like you not understand boundaries?

some when built their own house as reaction to things around them 1 culture were women end up loosing what they built together as hubby and wife (eg brother ls of the late husband taking over things as per tradition and culture)
2 hubby has lots of children with different women the moment he dies whatever wealth will be divided among the kids and their mothers
3 having property or wealth being passed on direct to blood related people aka inheritance through blood line

then finally both wife and hubby can pass on wealth and property to their children (bloodline) and their wife/husbands would be be entitled to such wealth and property but on their children

in simple terms ( son/daughter -in - laws shouldnt inherit any bloodline pass on wealth/property

But explain to me ..
You left your parents home to build a life with your S.O. Isn't the home for both of you with equal authority. ? You may have the final authority but the hierarchy should be either of you and then a 3rd person.
How would you feel if your mother-in-law moves in with you and asserts some kind of authority over the home, you and your spouse built.

A wise parent in my book would never try to assert any form of authority in her children's home but rather make sure that her son is treating his wife with respect and love.

No one can exert authority over me but I am more sympathetic to my mother.

My mum loves me unconditionally, I can't say the same for a wife. There's always a special bond between mothers and their kids.

Even if I was dirt poor and hungry, I know one person on earth would have my back 100%, and that matters to me a lot.

It's a case of misunderstanding, only a bad parents will want to dabble or control their child marital home. But they still have great and limited influence on the marital home.
