Does Sharing Financial Responsibilities Bring Disrespect In Marriages? by acidtalk: 8:31pm On Jun 18, 2012
When young Nigerian men complain today on how their wives don't give them full respect as the man of the house unlike during their childhood days when their mothers basically 'worshipped' and feared their fathers. She dare not disobey his instructions and even if she was displayed at his actions, she doesn't point it out to his face in the public.

What so many (larger percentage) men of this generation fail to realize is that, their Fathers catered for the needs of the family 100% without asking a dime from his wife to support the family. Bust now, its a norm for men to share responsibilities with their wives like Feeding, house rent, power, water, security, childrens school fees, dstv, phone, feeding and even groceries bills with their wives and this same men expect to get 100% (full) respect and accord from their wives?

Where on earth is it possible for one 'partner in business' to be a slave to another when you hold equal or sometimes majority investment in the business.

Nigerian men if you want 100% respect and loyalty from your wives, then start taking 100% responsibility of the needs of the family and home from.

Dumb A??
Men that are doing 100% still don't get the respect
Today is different from 1970
In the developed countries of the world it now takes two income to support a family
Year back my man will have two cars in the garage, a house that is today 300,00.00 (in 19770 the same house was 40,00.00) mid-class income of 45,000.00
Women are have good education as man today and better income
So keep your BS to yourself

I took the patience to read through your comment before checking your gender and lo and behold, I knew it was one frustrated man that would have gone rantting that bad.
If the post said "women respect and honor your husbands". Moro*ons like you will give us a billion examples how women of those days knelt to feed their husbands now you are quick to justify why the responsibility MUST be shared.

A word of advice, you can't have full control to a ground when you aren't paying the full bills. If you like, Hang Yourself. Na you sabi.

don't put confusion or twist words here.

Even when a woman earns far more than her husband and the man NEVER raises the issue of 'shared bills or responsibility', no matter how feminist or egocentric that woman is, she will adore and give her husband his full respect as the man of the house.

Those are the kind of executive women who irrespective of tight schedules and late meetings at the office, will sneak home to go and prepare dinner for their husbands and kids and will never travel on official meetings without giving the man few days prior to the travel date.

They are not scared the man will leave them or their lives will crumble without him. But rather they respect him for his self dignity and utmost love and sacrifice for his family.

I wonder why there are primitive man as the OP nowadays...Things are evolving and we need to change our rotten mentality. Your wife sharing responsabilities with you doen't mean she won't respect you. Respect is earned and deserved. The women that know what they want in marriage and knows how to keep a man give repect and treat their men well. You just have to find the right one.

Yeah! I now sound ignorant because I am coming out as a Fellow Man in the open to state why men no longer get the respect they deserve because they have intentionally belittled themselves by fighting agressively for their wives to share domestic responsibilities with them right?


When it comes to issue of finance, you all are quick to shout "Equality" in marriage, anything aside that you want a "totally submissive wife".

See, I have seen men whose wives earn up to 3 times their salary and yet they never share responsibilites with their wives.

Their wife assist on her own without the man pointing out what and what are the bills she is to pay.

Such men will always have their wives assist and cater for the home FULLY when he (husbnd) embarks on a future project I.e building of their future home or investing in a business. They man has earned the trust and respect of the woman and as such there won't be an issue when the woman starts picking up the bills.

Not some low life kid that starts to share responsibilities even while dating (not married) for fear that he doesn't want his fiance/wife to save more that him or get richer than him as such let him take from her as much as he can so she doesn't become richer than him.

If you make 100,00.00 and you wife make 20,00.00
make her contribute some, she has to have a stalk in the married
If she make 70,00.00 some day, she will still think you have to do it only because you have done it in the past

now let us deliberate like gentlemen.

When you were earning more than her was she also sharing responsibilities (bills) in the home?

Now that she is earning more, is she footing more bills than you are?


Sit deep, relax, breath in and out and be TRUTHFUL, since then and now did you notice any 'slight' change in her behavior (respect/submissiveness) towards you?

I will honestly like to know sir.
You are the ones (married men) I need their honest contribution on this thread

Have we wondered to find out why some women will still stick their butt in their home knowing fully well their husband is a perpetual Cheat, Woman Beater and maybe even a drunk?

Irrespective of his flaws, they know they might never find a man who caters for his family as much and whole handedly as their husband does.

A woman will gladly share responsibilities with you if you treat her like a partner that she is.. not something lesser.
But treating her like an insurbordinate and expecting partcipation in responsiblities alongsides 100 percent respect is a big FAIL!!!

Really want to know where the 'lack of respect' in marriages emanated from. Is it from sharing responsibilities or what exactly.

Also please what are the areas you don't agree with me on? Will like to know and get corrected.

Irrespective of his flaws, they know they might never find a man who caters for his family as much and whole handedly as their husband does.
Reasons why??
These women might lack the financial strength to stand alone, Scared of being lonely, The stigma that comes with being a divorcee, The fear that they will never find another man to love them and their kids, The stu.pid, archaic mentality that requires women to be submissive and stick to their marriages regrdless of the hardship they have to endure.
The fact that you think wives are disrespectful because their husbands don't take full financial responsibility is quite perturbing. But then again, only God knows the shallow minded females you've met or the type of people you surround yourself with.
Come to think of it, I think your topic originates from the following mentality:
You do not believe Nigerian men should disperse the the same respect they demand from their women
You believe that men should be the one and only financial provider in the house
This i presume, is where your absurd conclusion incepts from and if i'm right, You are simply a SEXIST who is on a slow path of discovering it.
