delishpot:
Get that work and start succeeding at it and see if that man will not ask you to tone it down a notch out of fear of people you start hanging out with, fear of living in your shadow, fear that you will become too independent from him. Men want their women to succeed 'small' not too big that you become an Alakija or Dangote under his roof. Many naija husband's just want women that can do the bare minimum unless she makes him the face and take a back seat in her career or hussle.
Please are you speaking for yourself or your male friends?

Change your mentality please. Being successful than your spouse should bring about healthy competition. If the Lord is blessing your spouse regardless of the gender, celebrate them as the same God is still in the neighbourhood.

Why should I slow down the pace of my hard work just because of a man? WHY?

sinceraconcept:
I'm with you bro, non-virgin hoes are disgusting and dirty and make sane men sick. They are the inferior versions of women, virgins are the queens, oh lord, give me a beautiful virgin as a wife,i will treat her like a queen. Virgins are Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz of women, non-virgins are Datsuns. Non-virgins are majorly std careers because most of them don't even know they have certain STDs and its impossible to test your wife for all STDs. People only test for HIV but there are many more STDs, some just dey form sef. Virgins are clean like distilled water,non-virgins are like gutter water. I would rather drink distilled water. (No offence to those that were raped and never did it again afterwards,theirs is understandable and they are way better than these non virgins)
Lol

Decent guys need to take heart in advancegrin

The same Nigerian men when u dey complain for ni dey make wave for South Africa, finishing their ladies with too much care, resulting to Xenophobia..... Appreciate what you have first, then God will top it up for you.

1. They like to settle down with decent women if possible virgins but still cheat on her with slay queens.(haba oga mi)

2. They want their wives to have kids(2 3 4 5 6 kids or even more) but want her belly to be flat and with no stretch marks. (Iffa hear)

3. They don't want their wife to work but get upset when she depends on them for everything. (Ok o)

4. They want their wives to breastfeed their babies atimes even when the woman is exhausted. Some reject the idea of formular in totality but they don't want to see saggy boobs. (U do well sir)

5. They want their wives to be contributing towards the bills and buy them nice surprise gifts but want her to be at home n take care of the home like a housewife. (I'm only one person o)

6. They want their wives to dress decently but chase after their neighbor who wears skimpy dresses. (Iffa catch u eh)

7. They like to have a praying wife but hardly take the lead in family prayers.(encourage us na please lipsrsealed)

8. They praise their wives for forgiving them when they are caught cheating but heaven is let loose if reverse was the case. (You see your life?)

9. Men want transparency over how the wife spends her money who she calls etc, but transparency jumps out of the window when its time for them to do same. (This is hypocrisy na oga)

10. They don't want their wives to keep single friends but their own best friend might be a single guy. ( why na?)

11. They abuse their wives emotionally, financially, some even physically but you dare not try same with their sisters. Some go as far as beating up their inlaw for daring such on their sister. (U better lead by example next time)


12. They praise their wives for being able to manage the little allowances they give them but sponsor lavish lifestyles of their side chicks. (This one weak me finish)

So much to say, so little time.
Only a few Nigerian men are not intimidated by their wives' successes.
Women who are supposed to be back ups in hard times, they will insist they get low paying jobs so that they can be the king of the home. I have seen men walk away from their marriage because the woman was making progress, some families got into trouble when the husband lost his high paying job, the wife was teaching.
So many different cases, it still boils down to the same thing.

Wow! That's the highest form of insecurity. Yet they castigate ladies who always insist on going for a man that is at least more financially balanced than they are. They label them names like Gold diggers, etc.

Why complain about ladies going after rich men when you know as a man you will not be secure with your wife/girlfriend's hard work?

It's time men pick a struggle and stop being confused.

Stop deceiving yourself. No man has such unrealistic expectations. We men know these changes can't be avoided even though we don't like them. Men don't task their wives to avoid these changes because it's nature. Show me the men that have such unrealistic expectations?

So true. Thank God the narrative is changing. It's no longer what it used to be.

Most men with calabash tummy will want their girlfriends/wives to have flat belly. Why should I marry your calabash tummy with my flat tummy?

And truth be told, I don't think we still have men who doesn't want their wives to work. Or am I living in a different world?
I swear with my good appointment at hand with NITDA my husband bluntly refused and gave me option to go and leave my 3kids behind, that I can only work from my father's house, i hold second class upper degree in Information and communication technology, full time housewife by force

Wonderful!
I can't advise you to go against your husband wishes but trust me if I were you, i won't let go of my home and the job.

While growing up, my dad played same game with my mum. She agreed with him for a while till the family needs increase,she got a job and my dad said she shouldn't take the job.

With several pleadings and other things, she took the job and that is how she started working from now till date.

I only hope you're doing well?

Wow, that's sad.
What were his reasons? At least he owes it to you to tell you reasons he doesnt want you to work.
Meanwhile, does he comfortably meet all the needs in the home, and even in your extended family that you normally would chip in something?
Are you on a monthly allowance?
Despite it all, your skills shouldn't go to waste
Perhaps you should follow threads on the IT section on this forum, and see if there are other skills you can learn to work from home, so you can at least be earning money from home.
You'll be surprised at the opportunities you can get online.

But nowadays married women are getting it on with guys who like “ the married woman “ look .
Acidosis:
Cheating married men don't have the luxury of time to pursue difficult decent women like their wives. It took them months and years to get their wives to say YES.

Sleeping around got nothing to do with the way slay queens dress rather, it is an issue of availability and affordability.

Besides, they don't like the thought of sleeping with decent women like their wives. There is a level of satisfaction and security they derive from sleeping with anything that doesn't look like their wives.
