Codivoar: I have a friend who is currently in a great dilemma. He is a very serious and religious guy. He is in a relationship with a girl. The love between them is obvious. The girl loves him dearly and she wants to marry with him and build a family with him. He also loves her but he said the only thing blocking him from taking this destiny leap is her salary. She earns 7 times more his salary.
Despite all his explanations to convince her that immediately he will not be able to take care of her according to her standing she doesn't want to accept his arguments. She even told him that the woman is made to help her man and she believes he will be greater. His fears come from many bad stories in such family configuration.
Do you think in these years of modernity in 2023 these considerations should prevent 2 lovers from getting married and build their family?
seven times more is not a joke o. so if he earns 100K, the wife-to-be earns 700K

DiamondPant: Any man who can not comfortably send 200k to his mum/dad/sibling(s)/relative(s) is not in my league. I don't need a man's money to date him, but I won't give a man my money to solve his family problems. For his personal needs when necessary, I can give him money. But for his family... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
this is arrogance. Your decision on who's in your league is grounded on his ability to dash out money.
Some people are so poor that all they have is money.
Jazmine10: Y'all wanna be dating your fellow men now?
My take: 1. A lack of good job will definitely put you out of the dating selection pool
2. Women worldwide knows that he who pays the piper dictate the tunes. if you're or bucks'ed up, forget about chasing the box.
3. If as a man for any reason u earn less than ur dating partner, she will start looking for someone who earns more
4. If at the beginning u were earning more and somehow by twist of faith she begins to earn more, same rule applies, u will still loose ur spot in her life.
5. Women these days have equated submissiveness with u having to provide. know this and know peace.
6. Women are the same worldwide! If u think u will leave one because of the above reasons, I can tell u for free that u are a joker
My take: 1. A lack of good job will definitely make u loose control in your relationship 2. Women worldwide knows that he who pays the piper dictate the tunes so they will control you as long as u do not contribute as much as they do in the home. 3. If as a man for any reason u earn less than ur partner, u have somewhat lost respect. 4. If at the beginning u were earning more and somehow by twist of faith she begins to earn more, same rule applies, u will still loose ur respect. 5. Women these days have equated submissiveness with u having to provide. If u no fit provide, then u have lost ur respect and dignity as a man! 6. Women are the same worldwide! If u think u will leave one because of the above reasons, I can tell u for free that u are a joker
Dimaya: There are friends that will spend 200k on lunch with a woman they will sleep with probably just once without realising that they're ruining the girl for the next guy and also for herself because she will spend/waste the rest of her life looking for that same standard.
Unittyy: Women are hypergamous in nature. They hardly settle down with any man earning less than them. My ex girlfriend of 5years recently served me breakfast same week she got a high paying job with a multinational firm.
In Nigeria and across Africa today, women today are struggling to find men who earn as much as they do.
There is a shortage of economically attractive men and this has contributed to battles for control in relationships in which the women outearn their men. According to the young women in the trending video below, a good man is hard to find, especially in this economy.
Although we like to think marriage is based on love, they say, it “also is fundamentally an economic transaction,” and women want partners whom they can call their equals.
Two of the women on the panel confessed they'd fought with their partners, exchanging blows over money and control.
So, here are the questions for discussion within this thread:
1. Does a “lack of good jobs” for men contribute to loss of male control in a relationship?
2. Have you been in a romantic relationship in which a partner who had economic power over you, was tempted to control you or abuse you physically or verbally?
3. How do you go about handling it?
