I just lost my job like 2 months ago. I use my car to do can work. My wife works as well. And we have 2 children.

I want you to tell me the truth am I doing bad or good?

I pay all the bills at home, I still give out 15k every week for food.

But my wife still complain. I don't know what she use her salary to do. All I know is that she use to wear new cloth every Sunday and new shoes. And buys cloth for the children once in a while.

Pls tell me if am doing bad.
You are doing very badly my friend.

You are making N150,000 every week and you give your wife just a miserly N15,000 every week.
You are doing poorly!

Until your wife knows the range of your income, she would assume the worst about you

Women assume that your money is for the family but your wife's money is for her alone .

Do the best you can for your family while you try to talk with your wife .

Appreciate her for the little she is doing and that would make her happy.

Review your finances and let her see the need to give you more support.

Continue to do the possible best for your family.

NO QUARREL.

I'm short of words. May God teach you the right way to handle this situation. 60k for a family of four monthly is not a lot but it can be worked with. These stinginess trait is one that is a little difficult to hide. So during courtship, you should have noticed. God help you o.

You dey try, 15K weekly no be small thing. It might be small to your wife cos she earns salary but then, you dey try. Just keep doing your hustle, Or do you earn more to drop more than 15k cos it seems to me like guilt dey worry you, but if not, just keep doing your thing and worry less about her.

If you investigate further, you will find out that this selfishness started right from the onset. If a woman or partner is not meeting up halfway to compliment your efforts. Let them stew in dating forums.

IF HE IS MATURED ENOUGH TO FILTER ANYTHING AS AN ADULT. HIS RECENT MOVE CLEARLY PROVED YOU AND HIM OTHERWISE.

For your INFORMATION and EDUCATION. No successful union and matrimony ever had external FORCES and OPINIONS intervention in their internal affairs. Their internal matrimonial home is never for public comsumption.

A MAN CAME PUBLIC TO DISPARAGE HIS SIGNIFICANT HALF, CLAIMING SHE USE HER MONEY ON CERTAIN ITEMS THAT IS NOT NEW TO HIM SINCE THEY CAME TOGETHER AND FOR HOW LONG.

He also sings his own praise in contrast to his wife's.

SO MUCH FOR YOUR MATURED MAN!

I don't know your age but for you to use the word "never" tells a lot about your experience with the issues of life

You simply trying to BREAK your own home by bringing this to the public square that does not possess the requisite for THOUGHTFULNESS. A field occupied and filled with the BRAINLESS. Including, people without the EXPERIENCE for this. Some of them might not have either a HOME WIFE and or UNMARRIED. They do not know what a home is and its DEFINITION.

YOU ARE COURTING MORE TROUBLE MY FRIEND.

Go resolve whatever is going wrongly in your home with your wife. Desist from bringing your dirty linen into the public. According to you you have endured and managed this well all this while.

TOLERANCE WITH ENDURANCE, MY FRIEND.

Wish you well as you continue to understand your wife with RESOLUTION to keep your FAMILY.

Your reasoning is dumb.


He should continue understanding a woman that refuses to show understanding or sensitivity. You are funny

I will say you are by saying he's trying to break his home. Most times when you speak out, it help you solve the problem as a man.

When you pile up the pain, it tends to aggravate into something bad. Sometimes as a married person speaking out doesn't cause a break up, but rather you will get insight from reasonable people.

Like most people and even you have advice he discusses the issue with her and clear his mind.

Let me say that she's a "problem in wife's clothing".You fell too bad for your girlfriend to the point that you didn't see yourself as a man who's introducing a problem to yourself in form of a wife.

You're not doing bad, though not doing enough. Your wife is not ready to be a "help meet". It seems she belongs to "His money is our money and my money is my money" kind of women out there.
You need to discuss with her in contributing a percentage of her salary monthly in meeting the family's financial needs.

Even those earning 500k monthly still need the support of their wife financially to meet up with the family needs in this Buhariconomics

Jesus said; mark 9:29:this type does not go out except by prayer and fasting! In other words, all those people saying talk to her should know that if she has not listened to all you have been saying, she will still remain deaf. Solution; manage it or jolt her to reality. I was in this situation 6 years ago. I just lost my job then but was still able to sort the bills. I was able to secure my wife a civil service slot but she refused to contribute a dime to assist claiming her money is her hard earned money and my money is our money. And I should man up and shoulder my responsibilities. We were headed for divorce since family and church mediation failed until she retraced her steps seeing I would not bulge. Today she is a better woman, and we are now both big economic players. She has come to realize that her nuclear family with me and the kids are her utmost priority and vice-versa. What am I trying to say, sometimes when diplomacy fails, explore other options, but no matter what, do not be stuck in a parasitic relationship, don’t let anyone broke shame or guilt trip you before you go and die early for nothing. 60k monthly, if you factor in bills and rent, you monthly average is over 100k. Trust me, most NL billionaires who feel you have not done well don’t even earn 100k. You are partners and co-travelers.
