It could be that they are very secretive. Could also be that they have trust issues, or don't find the other person trustworthy enough.

For me, I really don't know the issue there. My mum, siblings and best friends all know what I earn, and I know all of theirs too. I don't know how one can claim to be open to their spouse, when they cant even trust them with their salary.

I must ask though: Op, hope you're not the tight-fisted type, or the type that 'puts eye' in her money? I ask cos I know that's another reason why a wife may decide to hide such information from her husband.

I think people like to hide that for different reasons

i)You know the story when people know you earn so much
i)You know the story when your mates know u earn less


But your wife not telling you how she earns,leave me in a state of

What do you want to do with her salary, she feels if you find out you will begin to tell her on or two things.

Couples should be aware of each other's financial capability. .. I wonder why ur wife should be hiding her salary undecided..

Maybe she doesn't trust you. ..

Not cool generally esp as you ain't ok with it. ..

Hmmm.. Maybe you should talk to her to gain her confidence incase her salary is bigger than yours which could make you feel inferior if she tells you. Seek for her assurance first that if hers is bigger than yours, it wont cause misunderstanding btw you guys.

Incase you want to know how much she's worth; how much she's in her account. Get her phone secretly, get the code to buy airtime from her bank and use her phone to get the airtime. Her bank acct balance message will be sent after you must have gotten the airtime. Be smart about this. You'll know how much she's worth and may not need to bother about her salary amount anymore if need be.

Cheers.

Make they no dey beef you in the office embarassed

I read in a book titled: Rule at Work that one way to make yourself dissatisfied and always angry in your
work place is to go about comparing your salary with that of your colleagues. smiley
