FamilyRe: Am I Being Unreasonable Or Is My Wife Selfish? by Jacku: 1:54pm On Sep 17, 2023
EkelediliBuhari:
Let’s agree this is my story….

Pardon my long write up but I needed to get a perspective from a fresh eye/mind. I’m married for 3 years now with 2infants.

Am I overthinking or does my wife have other plans?

My dad is an established accountant with over 3 decades of experience at the highest level of his occupation in 2 multinationals. He is now retired and consults. Presently, he lives a day at a times cos he barely has plans for his firm (he is over 70 and doesn’t have anybody he’s training his my mom).

I have a good career earning almost a million monthly with side gigs that keeps me liquid (meeting all my family’s basic needs). Monthly upkeep of 200k mainly for feeding while I pay utilities and still bring out cash (no fixed amount) from time to time. Presently am setting up a firm for contracting and consultancy.

My wife is a caterer (she loves cooking and baking) whom I have supported over the years. She has gotten much better and I have invested in her business. Presently she has all the basic requirements for her work and she works from home. We live in a 4 bed and converted one to her studio (fully furnished - AC tables shelves etc).

Over the years I have encouraged her to focus on entrepreneurship. This will give her total control of her time. This way the kids get her attention while she handles business which I hope to one day retire into. I make sure she doesn’t contribute her personal funds to the home as I advise her to save for rain days. I have encouraged her to work closely with my dad to earn experience as they share same profession hopefully take over the firm in time while I groom mine for which she is the major shareholder (I’m not even a shareholder).

Overall, do not look for a 9-5 like me, let’s grow a business.

However, she applies for jobs here and there. Just this morning she woke up as early as 4:30am applying for a customer service position and had to wake me up to correct her cover note.

At this point I feel like giving up on her. I feel she just wants to have a paying Job for whatever reason. But I know know the downsides; no time for the kids, 40-80% of income goes on expenses, work stress, regrets - now you can’t quit because you have to prove you can do it.

Am I being unreasonable telling her not to work and focus on developing her business skills?

NB: I have never discouraged her in her business rather encouraged/ advised and funded.

Modified: for those insisting I let her be, how do we plan our future if we share separate visions?? When has working ever made anyone rich??

If she gets an IOC opportunity I’ll definitely support tho, but these are not the toes she’s applying for 100k -300k
I think you're probably stuck in your own dreams and decision and have failed to really ask her what she wants, judging from what you typed.

I'll advise you ask her what she wants so that it won't seem she's living her life to please you

So I've been saving to get a good device but can't really decide on which to get
I would've preferred the Samsung s20, but because of the whole screen issue flying around, am having a change of mind.
The iPhone 11 on the other hand costs more and provides less.

Gurus or users of both the s20 and 11, which is a better choice??
iPhone

Me too, I used the Sony Xperia E1 and enjoyed it, currently using Nokia 3.1.

To me a small device with nice specs "feels" more premium on the hand than larger device with same specs.
what's the spec of the Nokia?

Seems all the phone brands now produce big
screen phones and am not a fan of big
screens.

Can any one please suggest a current 5inch
android phone, preferably a Samsung but any
other good brand is welcome.
I doubt if you would find.
