You have already made a mistake from onset but it is not too late to correct it but before I go further you should know that; 1) You are expected to take care of your wife while your wife is your help meet. 2) It is only cooperation that makes rice grains to swell in tbe cooking pot. Thus, although this should have been settled before the wedding, you guys need to still sit down together and sincerely plan your future together on what you both earn so that you can build together and not scatter. It is well o. |

She should contribute 40% of her income to run the home. Whats the point of marrying a working class woman that can't support you? Femmyfamous4u: |

Femmyfamous4u:No need to give your wife pocket money but you could be buying her gifts occasionally like during her birthdays, mother days etc to appreciate her. You could even tell her to contribute N10,000 while you bring N30000 to cover for food stuff instead of only coughing out the N40,000 since you also pay the utilities bills and house rent. She should learn to contribute her quota most especially when you start having children |

EriMma1:When it comes to sex and woman, I have seen it all. Nothing pertaining to that ever move me. I’m so much engrossed in my career pursuit that sex sounds despicable to me. I mean what else do I need to gain from sex, it’s all vain Abeg. I prefer chilling with a cold bottle of best cream than being with a woman |

Choose an advanced country to japa to.. The conditions there will force her to work and contribute to housekeeping. She'll also calculate taxes with you. Our Nigerian women are too entitled. |

Femmyfamous4u:That useless mindset that her money is hers and your money is for you and her is definitely the height of irresponsibility in marriage, marriage is between two people, you both share everything together in other to make it work , not when a woman is having a parasitic mindset, you earn more than your husband, he pays the bills you still want monthly salary, who are you keeping or making your money for if not for your own family, at times I wonder the kind of useless irresponsible mindset some women in marriage has. |

EriMma1:from the look of thing , he doesn’t have extra money to cater for her ‘wants’. He already pays all the bills , Now, are you suggesting he gives all to his wife in order to make her happy while neglecting savings and investments with the remaining money for their prospective children? Are you saying he should basically live to please her and ignore plans for their future ? I’m eager to learn from you |

Femmyfamous4u:The very fact that you are here begging for advice has shown that you are not comfortable with her keeping her whole money and depending on your own. Yet situations like this are caused by any of these five things. 1. Her parental upbringing. .2. Her Pastors teachings 3. Your being a Simp. 4. Her selfishness/ Lesbian tendencies 5. Her Mum's Advice. 1. Her parental upbringing. Most young women will go with what they grew up with. They think it is world standard for every thing. Especially if she is a Mummy's girl and her Mumu wore the trousers in the marriage. 2. Some Pastors needs to be arrested and driven out of anything Christiandom. They wreck havoc in homes teaching heresies instead of Sound Christian doctrine. Infact, if you stay under some Pastors , you may begin to have the impression that you are in an all feminist impartation class. Kai. Is it not the Bible that called a woman a help meet? Only a balanced and a very sound Pastor can teach women sound teachings. Imagine keeping her money and feeding on yours only. O boy, you are not married. You are in a glorified Sugar Daddy and Sugar Daughter relationship. 3. You are a Simp. A simp is simply a mild mannered dullard who gives women whatever they demand in a futile bid to make them happy! The sad part of it is that women secretly hate simps. They hate simps because most women wants a man to be in charge not to be subservient to them. So, probably you caused because you have been giving in to almost all her shenanigans without complain before now. So she feels why not push him a little more, he will give more. Put your foot down gently but firmly and explain to her why her own money is also important in building the family. 4. She is selfish/Lesbian tendencies. Let's tackle selfish first. When. A woman is selfish and self centered, all her decisions is about herself not the family. If she is that type then you are in deep soup! Again, most girls of nowadays are actually coded lesbians. They have no financial or even emotional attachment to their husbands. They only married because of societal/parental pressure and if they had a choice they would have preferred to marry a fellow lesbians. If that's your case, then don't expect any changes because she is not into you! That why I keep warning you men if nowadays to do proper background checks before you marry. If you marry a coded lesbian, you will suffer all kinds of neglect. 5. Her mum's advice. If she is the type that listens to her Mum's advice whether good or bad, then you are in soup! This is because some women, especially bad ones will like to maintain an overbearing attitude with regards to their daughters marriages. It is sad but true. MY ADVICE. Dig in and refuse to shift ground. Call her sit her down and use scriptures and everything to explain things to her. You should have had some of these conversations even before marriage but the problem with most of you usually is that you are distracted by curvy body and sex. So have a definitive discussion with her and this and don't shift ground. |

| Re: Should I Give my working Class Wife Allowance? by Gaskiya77: 3:34pm On Apr 02, 2023 |
This would have been discussed during courtship especially on finances. In a marriage, an average Nigeria lady sees her money as hers alone at the same time depending absolutely on the man's money all in the name of marriage. I will advise you explain things to her. Do not overstretched yourself beyond your finances. Your life in that family should matter most to the family. Do what you can do in other to stay alive. |

Femmyfamous4u:Tbh it’s a very fair deal if all she has to do is take responsibility for food A correct person would make sure you guys ball with regards to food sha…. From ensuring you all have staples and treats, to ensuring the food is tasty and mostly healthy |

Femmyfamous4u:some attitude is stinking. No disrespect intended. Please ask her what she's planning to use the money for if she's not spending it on her household. What kind of mentality is this exactly? You are earning money you don't spend on your own household? What do you want to do with the money then? Take it to your grave? Some men need to be careful though. This is not partnership at all. |

Femmyfamous4u:Unfortunately that's the attitude of most of these Nigerian girls. That's why they want marriage. They need someone to bear their financial woes. These are things you should have discussed during courtship not "Have you eaten?" or trying to impress her. |

Femmyfamous4u:The bitter truth is if your wife have a nice job and she can’t support you as a husband then she never loved you from day one . Assuming she’s not working it’s different earning 6 figures yet find it difficult to assist the family with no kid yet what will happen when you will start paying school fees ? You will drain in debt |

EriMma1:This is a different scenario, he should gift her from time to time, and vice versa… Someone like me even gifts more (woman that I am oo) cos I would do nearly anything for acts of service, even buy them🤷🏾♀️😩🤐 If the picture he painted is exactly the situation? His wife is selfish and entitled📌 Many women are on this kinda table, resentful about who they married and as such, chronically dissatisfied and difficult..making their spouses pay On the other hand, the men abandon the ladies that love them silly and hang their rings on women they want to control Serves all of us right I guess/we will heal Whichever one applies Lol |

Queendera:Is he spending energy on getting the groceries, cooking, caring for the children, cleaning up etc, while he's going to work and handing out these huge, tremendous, excessive sums of money to her? What is he planning on using all his energy for if not his household? Is he practicing partnership in marriage? Or is money the only fair partnership needed? |

EriMma1:Ok you are right. But are you like who? What I mean is that being in Lagos and haven’t lived in phc, I have met women like you in million occasions. Unless you are the most beautiful girlfriend in Nigeria. By the way I’m married and we don’t live in same town and yet I don’t care because I love being alone |
