Good day, fellas. Apart from me, who else noticed that telling your wife or even women in general, your exact salary is risky? If you are earning like 100k, just tell her that you are earning 60k, 70k or 80k. E get why.

Sapasenator:
Never make that mistake? I also don't want to know what she earns.
Never let her know when you get a raise or promotion.

Never have a joint account in your main account for income.

You become nothing if you lose your element of unpredictability and surprise.

I learned the hard way!

Please guys, by all means, take care of your woman but never under any condition, allow financial see finish.

Hope same can be applied by women

Truvelisback:
I don't care to know about hers except she on her own chose to tell me.

Notfogotten:
Sir, I learned the hard way too.

As a man, make sure you must not disclose your networth to your wife. Ensure you take care of your family but most importantly, have savings or investments in your name as a man.

Don't bother yourself with what your woman earns. Never ask her for money. Even if she is a billionaire.

This will maintain your respect as a man.

One thing I have come to realise in marriage is that man and woman can be one in everything apart from finances. It is the major cause of divorce abroad.

I am abroad and my wife recently suggested we buy a house. I won't. I told her I don't have money. Spend my savings buying a house abroad and you throw me out tomorrow in the cold. Never.

I will rather invest back home in Nigeria than buy a house abroad.

NEVER LET YOUR WIFE KNOW YOUR NETWORTH.
AND NEVER EVER ASK HER FOR MONEY.

At first, I thought we were on the same page and disclosed everything, it cam back to bite me in the butt.

I learnt very quickly.

This situation seems tricky, doesn't it?

A common mistake, especially among men, is to trust women solely because they love them.
She is my wife and I trust her, nye nye nye. Guy, You dey jons?

Love alone isn't enough reason to trust someone. Love can develop quickly but trust requires time to build.

It's important to love and take care of your wife. Very important; and as long as you're fulfilling your responsibilities, how much you earn shouldn't be her concern.

If her money is her own and your money is our own then it's best to be cautious; but if over time, she proves to be trustworthy, then it's worth trusting her.


Still doesn't mean that you should tell her everything, just enough.

Truvelisback:
Very tricky, bro. As a matter of fact, there are some things I don't want to spill here so that our women here no go code. Na we guys know what's up.

Notfogotten:
Please say it. I beg you. If I knew what I know now, things would have been a lot better foe me.

Notfogotten:
This is exactly what happened to me for years until we moved abroad and many things started playing out.

I have learnt to start saving the much I can. Never disclosing how much I earn or when I'm paid.

Ibechris2:
Na which kind husbands una be this self?

All this hiding would make u guys not grow honestly.

My wife knows my salary,she equally knows how much I have made in recent months.

No wonder many family are not doing well financially because of hide and seek attitude of theirs.

What then is the gain from all this hiding...poor thinking strategy.

I have grown my income because of my wife...a beautiful soul who would see me achieve more by even giving me her money to add up to most of my business.

This gathering is a gathering of wicked husband's...and I refused to join u guys.

Truvelisback:
Time will tell.

Ibechris2:
I have been in marriage for 8years.

Money has never been a problem to us and she has often proven to be financially honest since we got married and why should I hide things from her.

For the fact that I am not single,I now work and earn for the family and that is all.

Men should tell their wives how much they earn,saved or what they invested on.

Your wive is your other half.

Your marriage is still young. You will learn later expecially if you live abroad.

Ibechris2:
Yes,all of the above.

Practically speaking,we have sorted all of this even before we got married and I have never had money disagreement with my wife.

I know how much upfront she earns including her monthly salaries...and she knows mine.
I guess she is a civil servants

Ibechris2:
U think everyone is in bad marriage as u.

I dey laugh

Truvelisback:
Telling her is like striping yourself naked before.
