The unwritten rule that a man has to be a provider has to be destroyed if we want to win the war against patriarchy. We have to completely eliminate gender roles. Women are not lesser than men and women can be the sole provider while a man cooks and clean.

Besides, you don’t use penis to make money.

■ OPs husband doesn’t want to be treated like a god. He has shown this by his actions. A man with a god like complex won’t be doing house chores of their own accord.
■ How do you not understand that a stay at home dad/husband IS sharing responsibilities? One partner provides financially, the other takes care of the home and/or kids. They’ve shared the responsibility already .
1. OP did not enter into an agreement with her husband to take on the sole responsibility for the family's finances, hence the reason why she is complaining — no compromise was reached between them. undecided

2. He is not sharing financial responsibilities with her, is he? You do know there is a difference between having to share responsibility and having to bear it all alone. undecided

The agreement was entered into the moment she said “I do”.

He doesn’t contribute financially because he can’t. The OP can and should continue to provide for her family while the husband can continue to cook, clean and care for their children.

Why is this so difficult to process?

Omo, just stay away from Nigerian women.

Why is providing for your own family and yourself so difficult?

Why do you expect a man to provide when you can’t do same?

1. You continue to miss undecided the important point here which is that marriage is an agreement between a man and a woman. An agreement is a contract with terms and conditions clearly defined. When they both say "I do" they both agree to the contract at the time of the vow. If and when one of the partners decides there needs to be a change of deal, the partner risks breaching the contract. Meaning there needs to be a renegotiating of terms if possible and as you can see, OP does not agree to that. undecided

2. OP is not obligated by the contract which she entered into to do any of that. She can do it for as long as she wants to but she is under no obligation to do so. undecided

3. Because Marriage is meant to be an agreement between a man and a woman, and not something you can change up anyhow and anytime you like. undecided

What would you advice in a situation where a husband loses his job due to gambling and decided not to make any effort in search of another job or business or any legal means of making even little money.

He just wakes up in the morning, have his bath, put on the AC and go back to sleep. Only expecting any little thing the wife can cook to eat? He wouldn't pay any bills, provide anything but very humble helping out with house cleaning and washing.

Knowing that the situation is not funny on the wife and two children.

The wife must struggle to make food available no matter how little for the children, because she can't watch the children go hungry.
In a situation like this, when men goes out looking for means of making food available for their children and family, he is comfortable not having anything to offer all the time.
Is this the character of a father and husband that loves?

Is this not enough reason to divorce him?
if he's not creating trouble or beating you up, walk him through this phase - he'd change.

Gambling is an addiction. Help him out of it.

You're not even sure if he's testing you as a woman he's married to. We understand how women act when men get broke - maybe he's trying to see you show that true you in his time of lack.

Don't go and overreact!

He can endure anything. No food, he will lay down there till there's food. Once there's raw food, he will go to kitchen and prepare and eat, but he can never buy them.
He know no matter what, I will buy few things in the house to avoid going to buy little little food items from neighbouring shops.
No close up, bathing soap, cream, everything, he will endure, till I replace them.
He's really annoying.
money don finish now your husband don become annoying.. ok o. Woman, seat him down and ask him to tell you his plans. Tell him you know he has plans and you want to hear them. You’ve right to know your spouse’s plan as regarding the family

It is petty to point out a jobless man is putting on AC every day? undecided

Even two income household try to mix and match fan & AC to reduce the expenditure on utilities.

Should he be thinking of adding to their financial burden or reducing it?

I doubt it's the financial burden of the AC on that bothers her, but more likely him being comfortable underneath it.

Gambling, drug's, laziness, procrastination and womanizing are the 3 easiest ways to remain in perpetual poverty

The word of God says that's if any man does not provide for his family,He is worse than an infidel,

That man should sit up and look for any work or Job to do and provide for his family,

A transfered responsibility is a transferred crown,

Any healthy man being fed by a woman on a daily basis should just go on hunger strike and pray to God to help him because it's never the will of God from the beginning, God made man the Head in everything especially in marriage.

Don't divorce except you don't love him and found another man to remarry


Treat him badly so that he can refrain from his gambling habits and get a job
Though am not a Gambler but my take in this is what if he eventually win a huge amount tomorrow while she already divorce him. From what I understand most of this gamblers believe they're going to win one day.

If I should remembered his treatment when he had a job earning salaries, all through my pregnancy, paying bills and all that then, I deserve to kill him. He has never been a caring husband and father to his children.

He has no past good record that can make me think backward and support a jobless husband.

Why did you marry him in the first place.

Good luck finding another one if you’re half past one

Someone is going through rough times & your solution is to divorce him. Please do

Ma'am why leave someone that's able to provide AC for you and your children. This is the right time he need you guys. If you abandon him now you have fail and it will hurt you one day when history remember you as person that discarded her husband at the time he needed her must.

■ We Africans, where did we learnt this divorce?
1. Your forefathers did exactly the same things. Any small thing, they sent the woman packing back to her father's house to collect the bride price and abandoning her with the children she had. Your ancestors went as far as to demonize the abandoned women in order to shut them up and keep their reputations so no one would find out what they had done. undecided

2. Divorce has always existed, only in the south it is hidden in the form of marriage abandonment which is not officially tracked and hence the reason why the official divorce rate is maintained at an artificially low rate. The north, on the other hand, has been open about divorce and had it tracked even as far back as the 70s. It is for this reason that while the official divorce rate up north has remained at approximately 60% since the 80s in parts of the North, it has hovered below 2% in the south. undecided

A man's primary duty as a husband is to provide for his family.
How will you feel if your wife leave your house unkept for a whole month?
No sweeping, cooking or washing?
Just wake up in the morning, bath, leave the kids with you, on AC and sleep?
nobody is supporting the joblessness of the man. It is his responsibility to provide for his family also but when there is a hiccup inthe flow of things anybody can help in any thing until things balance out again

■ God, may hate divorce yet God Himself announced that He divorced, at one point, His bride, Israel, in Jeremiah 3 vs 8 only to later take her back again. Can God sin? NO! So, yes, God hates divorce but divorce is not sin undecided

■ God allowed divorce in His Old Law of Moses, and the same God allowed for divorce even in His New Covenant Law as well meaning divorce is not a sin. God does not change His mind. undecided

■ The divorce trends you see today are the same as they were during the time of your ancestors. Your ancestors hid their divorce behind marriage abandonment schemes. They would send the women back to their father's homes only to pretend the marriage never happened. That atrocity resulted in many of those women living in shame for the rest of their lives as they were recognized not as divorced women but as women unfit for marriage afterward. The rate of abandonment mirrored the official rate of divorce in the north where the divorce was openly accepted and allowed. So, do not deceive yourself by believing in false illusions that all was well and golden during the time of your ancestors. undecided
