My money is my money,
His money is our money mentality.

While I believe loans should be repaid especially when it is a tidy sum that was used as working capital. If it was used to buy something for the general wellbeing if the household, such should be a duty of both or either party. Not a loan. In this case, the 4k should be written off, but for accounting purposes, the man should state clearly that 4k out of it is to repay his debt.

And what if its the man that is taking care of the domestic aspects ( cooking, going to the market, cleaning etc)?
The man is the provider, homemaker, cook, cleaning servant, etc. in the home? Where did you find such a case? undecided

This is pure hatred. A wife that does this is in hatred with you and not in love with you. Haba. sad

Every monetary marital debt has to be paid,nature itself is in support.
So blame the deptor,not the collector.
That mentality is not good. It shows ungratefulness and entitlement mindset.

I urgently needed 1k to give someone, I asked you and you gave it to me. That same evening, I decided to dash you 10k out of my freewill, you collected it, thanked me and yet still tried to remind me of my 1k debt.

You too think am nowhuh

How old are you that you would need for me to break down for you why her labor in the marriage needs to be rewarded same as yours? undecided

I believe a financial literacy tutor should be able to also teach you these things. A wife is not a source of free labor. undecided
I asked you a question which demands an answer.

Lol some people are not very intelligent so we have to manage them like that. For her mind, you were going to give her 300k regardless. So she’s seeing the 4k as an icing on the cake.

It’s like you won a contract of 7m while waiting for your salary of 200k. You will still like to see them hit your account together as 7.2m. The 200k becomes like an icing on the cake.

The woman didn't do anything wrong.
She just asked for the money owed her.
A gift cannot be used to cover a debt.

I saw this and decided to share it here. Why are our women like this.

Guys what would you do in this situation if you are the one?
Simply tell her the 4k is inside the 100k.

Rewarded labour has not broken the rule of financial literacy but it is now alright to regard my money as hers and hers as hers?

you expected that a sentimental gesture you extended towards her should result in her making one towards you too, ignoring her own bottom line? huh

I love to repay loans explicitly. It is personal ethics for me and it embarrasses my loved ones. I still do it...😀

Then he should be the one you should be asking why he does all of that for his family. So, what did he tell you when you asked him why he chose to do all of that for his family? huh

Sincerely I was expecting it. That it was even a small boy that drunk the water. Na just #10 oo😳

Kobojunkie:
The one insisting that a woman who gets money due her, referred in this case as pocket money, should not expect a loan owed her to be paid back is clearly the one who probably has a couple of loose nuts somewhere. 🙄🙄

If your Oga borrowed Naira 4000 from you, do you write off the loan amount because he has handed you your salary/pay at the end of that month? huh
so is the husband paying his wife salary? How does that relate?

Tell her take 95k for Ur upkeep then 5k to settle your 4k debt. You have to state it clearly. A debt is a debt and must be repaid
From the original post, it's clear that it's a domestic/family or couple matter and NOT a formal or business matter. It's very unromantic for couples to be counting scores. I occasionally collects 2k or 3k from my wife for conveniency reasons and I do give her money in 10's of thousands to do things for herself far far more than the times I collect from her. So it will be an ungrateful act if she asked or reminded of some little money that I might have even forgotten. What she's saying is that she can't make any sacrifice or tolerate any loss but me the constant giver is free to keep giving her and tolerating loss.

You are not making any sense! You claimed there is a man out there that you know of who chooses —note this — to handle all of the labor as well as the responsibility to provide all by himself. And why not ask the man why he chooses— no gun to his head— to live like that rather than come here pretending your case is exactly that of the man's? undecided

This is really straightforward. Your wife is not a source of free labor. She, too, has to eat of the dividends of the marriage, and in many cases(for people in the lower brackets), it is the husband's salary from which she deserves a share each month. undecided
