Men how would you feel if your wife got more richer than you or more successful than you in terms of wealth or affluence ?
There's a saying which I think Is false btw that most Nigerian men cannot handle a successful woman.

Personally I can very much handle a wife that's more successful than me idc tbh , as long as there's no disrespect from her ends. But if she became disrespectful at some point , I would end things if the disrespect persists.

They are certain women that would rub it on their husband's faces any little chance they get to remind him that they are more successful than him which isn't a cool thing tbh and This happens a lot.

Certain men don't even want their wife's to work simply because of issues like this. Which I sometimes think it's selfish of men to act these way but I very much understand them nevertheless.

I don't want to generalize but I think when a woman becomes more successful than her husband there's always going to be tiny or even large trunk of disrespect.

So to the men in the house how would you handle it if your wife became more richer or successful than you and she started pulling some very disrespectful cards ??
Would you end things or just continue to move with the rhythm.

You’ve stated everything up there already. Bigger woman comes with disrespect that most sane men cannot tolerate. If my wife earns bigger than I do, i’ll man up and fulfill my responsibilities. That alone will remind her to not misbehave. If she eventually misbehaves, it is my cup of tea as my faith didn’t teach me to divorce, more reason why I can’t just go for anyhow girl, and the only woman who ever disrespected me my whole life was the one that I have lesser things to do with, the one that’s not even up to me in standard. Disrespect is not only attached to high class women, it is just a character of a foolish woman. A wise woman builds her home, while a foolish one pulls it down.
