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?

It is choice'

there are 80% chances that a woman who is doing well more than you will take advantage of you except the matured ones''

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, he is taller than and younger than him, 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.

A question I would like to direct at these particular women is why do they marry these insecure men to begin with?

And those in the trenches are happily married?

The problem isn't always with the women but the men.

are we going to do this now? How about differentiating gender bias from one's character?


We still have women who have money and yet are loyal. Its just not about gender but how one is able to manage people and emotional intelligence.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind..

Women really need to stop marrying insecure men, they will want to diminish you any way they can.

For me I feel it is pride and misunderstanding on one or both the man and the woman...

Maybe you are asking the question wrongly...

The more honest and practical or realistic question might be:

Why do most husbands of high-status and more successful career women have problems with their wives' successes?!!!

Well, that question is not for me. I am in no competition with no one.

If my partner like make she become president of Nigeria, it won't do any issues on me.

I go even happy for her sef.

From 1970....all bunch of losers and ediots

They usually do, not because of the stress of balancing career and family, but because of their attitudes

I do not have issue with my wife richer than me. We are not in a competition. What I have problem with is when she's trying to be the man in the marriage.

Pride is the thing for most of them.

Myth

y

Go for your type.
Every man has his type and vice versa. This life easy, na we dey make am unnecessarily difficult for ourselves

Most of them do and it's unfortunate. It's common with the men too but that of the men is less prominent. Canada PM just lost his marriage, same was for then Prince Charles. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Lol women wey u Dey feed , house and cloth , wey never see 10% of your net worth self Dey hard to control how much more the one that earns more than you do . No try am abeg

Nop

If a woman truly loves you her money will be yours in the marriage, just make her happy and comfortable with you.

why is that ever a problem?


its the individual not the career or what ever

Not really especially if she doesn't disrespect her husband.
