No, as busy as I was, I had the time, just couldnt meet, I call and care always. We are in same city but i have a very tight schedule that I can only get a time out once a month, its beyond my control.
I use to tell her, if I had a regular job time, she will be considered busy because she flies and she only have time a few times per week herself. but she loves intimacy and obviously, once a month is crazy

She fell off along the line, and when I pleaded, I think she already moved on cos she acted as if I did more than that.

I thought you said she was the one who didn't really have time for the relationship as much as you had? Or was it more that your schedules didn't align well? undecided

When it comes to romantic relationships, always go with biological reality, instead of social reality.

Biological reality would be a man marrying a woman he can take care of, is taller than and younger than her, a woman that will appreciate the experience he can give her, etc.

If you are a vulcanizer man shooting for a wealthy female banker, then you're conforming to social reality, and it hardly works.

For example, if you have 5k naira and want to feed for the whole day, it's foolish to go and eat in KFC. Buying something to cook or a roadside buka will give you more value for your money.

Let the richer women be with men that are richer than them, and you should be with a woman that in her reality, you're a catch. It's the law of relativity.

No de do pass yourself.

And then this man she married also shows that he is a good man coz if na some, dem go don manipulate how to take all her properties and render her useless pretending to love her. Life sometimes no suppose hard.

The potential threat the career of a woman can cause to her marriage especially if her husband isn’t as successful as she is has always been a point of discussion. Moreover, some single men are even afraid to marry a woman who is successful in their chosen career than them. Some believe that the norm is husbands “should” hold higher job status relative to their wives. When this norm is violated, and wives hold the higher status job, negative consequences can follow: Women are more likely to be targets of husbands’ aggression, and the risk for divorce increases.

Question
is it a crime for a woman to succeed in her chosen field or earn more?

Women are generally hypergamous. So a tendency to look upward to men higher in status than them. So if the guy does not have any other thing to maintain her gaze after losing his financial position to her, then there is problem.

A rich woman needs to have other controlling lever. Either the guy is handsome, famous, knowledgeable or just another attributes that thrills her. Otherwise, the relationship breaks down as she loses interest in him.

Reason money alone doesn't help the man this days, especially when there is a semblance of independence on her part.

Solution: people should not marry with consideration of wealth. U must find something else that is eternal as point of connection. Pure Love is it, but may be difficult.

No matter what female groups or advocates will say; human relationships are guided by biological traits.

Man na man and woman is a woman..

We should teach our present day boys to love and cherish our women/girls more, whether they are poor or rich.

Nigerian/African men are the ones with the problem. For them it is a Taboo for their wives to be richer/more successful than them.

Beyoncé is more successful and richer than Jay Z but they are still married today.
Cardi B is more successful and richer than her husband.
Ciara is richer and more successful than her husband and they have been married for years.
Kerry Washington; an American actress is richer and more successful than her husband, but they have been married for over 10 years. The list is endless

Are you as an individual willing to be subjected to living under the same rules she imposes on her family as a result of her success? Or are you under the inane notion that her husband somehow controls her and what not? undecided

We often get this narrative wrong. Men don't stay away from rich women. Men stay away from rich women with bad attitude. When some women have money they believe they are above the tutelage of any man, majority men stay away from such women either rich or poor but mostly rich.

A man doesn't have to be richer than his wife.but he shouldn't be a loafer..he should have a life and shouldn't depend on her stuff. From the little he has he should buy gifts for her that will bring memories and not monetary value..rich women appreciate memory More than monetary value of gifts..if ur took bill Gates daughter to one clean mama put where palm wine is served in a calabash she will appreciate it more than going to the calivigny island if you borrow money just to impress her. Na poor women dey consider price.. my hair is 700k..my nail is 100k blabla bla

I remember when one agba one Twitter asked if women wanted to be richer than their husbands, majority said no. They prefer to their husband to be richer.

I want to have my own money - more than I could ever need, attain my dreams.

But I really would love that my man has more than I have on the whole.

There's an inexplicable affection that comes with having a man who can spoil you, who is capable, whose ego I don't have to mind.

You are projecting...and speculative at best with your response...you can possible know what the woman want more that the man who found the relationship tiring to say the least.
