women who do that in most cases do it because they don't understand what marriage is all about....In marriage there is no mine but ours...for two of u shall become one

I know that gal. She is above 30 and not married. She will be single for long. Even if she gets married, she won't enjoy the bliss of marriage.
lol! Keep cursing the females in your family because it's not me you are talking about.

When all the single girls in your family are not getting married or their marriages don't last, you know who to come and beg.

As for me, I am having a really good time with my family this weekend. Check out the pics I will post on IG for your viewing pleasure.

......And do you know the number of married women taking care of the financial responsibilites in their various homes yesteryears and now??....Its almost the norm now so your parents financial dynamics is not a one-off..

...
shuuu, I think I just struck a raw nerve. I never said it was a one-off, but truth be told, how many women would do that today without the world knowing that they are the ones taking care of the family? I have seen a thousand and one cases of women turning their husbands into houseboys because the man is facing temporary difficulties. We all saw the news and few years ago of a man not knowing that his wife was his landlord, until he defaulted in payment and was given a quit notice, he sued the landlord only to see his wife was the landlord in court.
Or is it my friend that was having a little delay in salary, he asked his wife to borrow him money to pay the rent to prevent eviction from the house and she bluntly refused.
Yes my parents case was not a one-off, but how many women in this era would do that?

..Anyway ,may God answer your prayers and give you a wife who will foot all your bills,hers,the kids and the home..alone...Amen.

A woman can't ask her husband for every little thing na just like it was stated in the write up.imagine an emergency comes up in her house and the Husband is not buoyant enough to support,the little she has will go a long way to help
that is if she would release her money.Some wives will ask their husband to go and borrow instead.Some are even ready to suffer with him like that pretending no money.

Bịa nne, did I insult you in any of my posts on Nairaland, have I ever commented or mentioned any of your post? Then what brought about all these insults?
It's like they are using your brain to drink garri in your village. What arrant rubbish, if you don't agree with what anybody says here, because clearly you are showing signs of of being brought up in a deranged home where love was never an option, so you believe in your myopic mind that you must be the responsibility of a man, then don't comment and move on. Who the flying fucckking hell are you or better still, what do you think you are? An old goat that has lost her sense of reasoning as a result of too many spermatozoa mixing with you unfortunate DNA. If you where brought up in a brothel, some of us where brought up in loving homes.
Never mention me in a post again, I repeat never mention me in a post again. If not, not only Amadioha, but Alaogbaga will strike you where you are.
What impetus, what nansense. Afọ na asagbu onye ha ka gị jide kwa gị ebe ahụ.

Any woman that hide money from her husband has her reasons. Women have tendency to help out. But some men na wa. I knw a man who will not give a dime to his wife or her siblings n aged mum. His money is for his siblings and parents alone. His wife looks uncared for. She learnt a trade and started making earnings. God blessed her handiwork. Now she can help herself n take care of her mum n siblings from time to time.. So u don't expect such woman to tell her husband or assist him when he needs help.

There is this man I know. He is a contractor which means his income is not always stable. Sometimes, he may not get any contract for a long stretch and it will be the girlfriend helping him out financially.
This man doesn't know the concept of saving , no matter how much the partner talks about it. He is very generous with money and believes the girlfriend, who is a salary earner should be the same.
She tried his method for a while. They'll add their income together, spend it and at the end of the day, they will both end up broke due to the guy's way of spending.
In this kind of situation, will you blame the lady for keeping money from the guy?
Re: Why Women Hide Money From Their Husbands! by Fyorgyn: 2:46pm On Mar 04, 2017
Interesting but shallow article. I am of the opinion that the writer should have explored other reasons women "hide" money.

There is an age-old saying that "Every (good) woman should have a "secret stash" her husband knows nothing about.

Men and women are fundamentally different. Many men, bless their hearts, live for the moment... they believe if you have it, spend it! They are risk takers who can spend their last dime without thinking twice. A wise woman keeps resources aside because one day, the family business might need a cash boost, a job might be lost, the car engine might knock etc

Another reason women keep money is to have an "escape" fund. You don't pray to have a divorce or a bad marriage but many have used their "secret stash" to flee abusive marriages.

Women keeping secret stash is not peculiar to Nigeria alone. It's a really old "tradition" that has passed from generation to generation of women the world over. For instance, in this usnews article, the writer says her grandmother advised her to have one.
http://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/alpha-consumer/2008/03/19/should-women-keep-a-secret-money-stash.

Almost every woman I know keeps a secret stash with very good intentions. I used to have secret stashes but recently I realized it wasn't really fair to my husband who is very open with me about his financies. I still keep money but it's not really secret. He doesn't ask me about it and he has no idea how much I keep aside. He just knows it's for contingencies. We have come to that understanding.

There's this general believe by women that all their bills must be sorted out by their man,no matter how buoyant the woman is,it's traditional,even when the man is sick or in need,women hardly or reluctantanly come to their aid,women prefares to help their brother financially than her man.most women knows their husbands ATM pins,but the reverse is the case with the men.should I say married or love is wicked,I wouldn't,because God pronounced blessings on marriage.

I like it when f00lish idi0ts like you describe your sorry selfs here. No worry, I have no time for waste of spermatozoa like you, it's clear that even your parents are still cursing the day they produced a waste product like you. Just go get a life and stop moving round Nairaland seeking the attention you where clearly denied as a child. I simply made a comment that was clearly not targeted at anyone, but seeing it reminds you of what you missed as a child. Go face your life and move on.
