Dear LIB readers: why do some women find it hard to contribute in the home?

From a male LIB reader
I have been married for a year and a half and my marriage is not what I thought it would be. My wife does not like to contribute financially in the home. Given that I make more money than she does, but it's not a crime to help out with little things. Sometimes I come home to no food or food without meet or fish and when I ask her she says I didn't drop any money before leaving. Sometimes I come home from work very tired and there's no light. When I ask her what happened to the generator, she tells me there's no fuel. So she can't buy fuel? I have to do everything? She says her money is hers alone and to help her family but she keeps forgetting that I and our daughter should be her priority.
What can I do to make her change her ways? I'm not asking her to do much, just little things like buy the chicken or fish for stew and soup, and fuel sometimes when I'm not home. And maybe soap, toothpaste, pure-water, salt, maggi, and onions?

Not all women are like that. Didnt you guys talk about finances before marriage. This is why counselling is important before getting married.

My brother they are the same. Mine earns more than I do, yet she expects me to buy everything in the house including tissue papers and her sanitary accessories. I wonder what they do with their money?

Individual differences!! Maybe you married the stingy type or rather self centered wife.. Mine's wonderful..

I tink it is the duty of a man to drop monthly/weekly allowance for home keep.Just like my husband, he prefers to use his money to buy drinks for his fwends dan dropping money.If he drops N2000 ds wk, he won't drop for anoda 2 wks.If i complain, he will say ''what exactly do u use your money for.Men should learn how to drop. If it is not enough, we can add more.

Young man, pls know its ur main assignment to take care of your home. Non excuses. Ur wife is a help meet, pls note that. U guys need to get ur expenses listed, and both contribute towards it. Nt that wife buys butter husband buys salt like that like that.

ur wife is just mean. Try n talk to her if she love u she will understand if not keep on buyin cos na u go marry her.

I think that's pretty terrible but it's probably the way she's been brought up? She must've seen her mum rely on her dad for everything. What you should do is to ask her to write you a list of everything she will need to keep the house running for a month, then you give her the money for the list. Buy things in bulk, they should last beyond one month. Things like fuel, you should have a big keg to store it up. It's her mentality that needs changing. I have an aunt that does not wait for her husband before she takes the initiative to fix things up. From stocking the house to fixing the door knob, she does it all. You just have to make her understand you're both partners. If possible, you both should open an account and be dropping a certain amount of money for the house, and you should keep inventory of how both of you are using the money to avoid problems. I think everything will be fine if you make her understand why she needs to start doing things differently.

True story?

Well... These are the eesues.

There must have been signs, but no time to brood over spilled milk.

It might be a good idea to make another search.

Or, I just might have thought out loud....

Be more free with your own money and eventually, she will be free with hers.

You are a cow! It is morons like you that give us men a bad name. If you knew you couldn't take care of your responsibilities, you shouldn't have married her. Our wives have already sacrificed a lot to be with us. Asking them to do any more is unreasonable and uncalled for. If she wants to, its her choice. If she doesn't, or she can't, its her right.

Anonymous said...

mr man, u r not even ashamed to be saying this nonesense! did she marry u or did u marry her? Marriage is all about taking responsibilities and if u cnt take responsibilities as a man, y did u marry her. So u xpect ur wife to be putting food on ur table with her own money! u must be a joker!! she plays her part by cooking d food, u shld also play ur part by droping the money for d food! Damn! men of nowadays! u never cease to amaze me; yet u call urself d head of d house, but u wnt to be sharing ur responsibilities with ur wife and still remain d "HEAD"! No way!if u call buying fish,meat, salt, toothpaste and fuel...little things, then it shouldnt be hard for u to do! You better cut d crap and start taking care of that woman!!

She's just very selfish and wicked..... but den again some men are d reason y women behave dt way bcs once d woman starts bringing the man holds back all his money...

Unknown said...

Ur wife is so stingy believe me....hers is out of d game..there re some certain tins a woman should do

Unknown said...

When you make your wife feel that house cleaning, laundry, other household chores and sex are very important contributions in a family, she will ignore the financial aspects.

If you want her to contribute financially, contribute actively in household chores and cut down drastically on your demand for sex from her. Always allow her demand sex from you and not the other way round.

When you do all that, she will see the need to reciprocate the contribution and assist you in providing financial support.

But note, once she starts assisting financially, your position as master of the house, begins to reduce, because cash is king. I hope you know the second golden rule? "He that has the gold, makes the rules."

Your case is quite strange and I feel sorry for you. However, at this point, all we hv is your own version. Cld it be that you are a womaniser, alcoholic? This might hv made your wife a bit selfish in her dealings with you. If this is not the case, then your wife really has some personality issues. She probably doesn't knw what marriage entails and her duty as a help mate. At other times, such issues arise when a man and his wife were never friends before gettn married. This is why friendship and courtship matters so much. It exposes you to certain character traits that can signal a red flag, allowing a potential victim time to make a detour. Presently, I think you should both seek some counselling. Wish you the best.

Cos God has already made it so, A man who can't provide for his family is worst than a fidel. Leave d. Poor woman alone and take responsibility. It creates respect. Before God created Eve, he made sure. Adams field were ready, he was a whole man in authority. Don't get married if ur. Fields ain't ready.

LEEZ said...

Hey man! Provide for your family!! She needs the money to take care of her sef and the daughter so u don't expect her to be using her money all the time. You want her to be asking u for money to get sanitary wears body deodorants, hair???? Etc.... hello man! work harder!!

Eya Ayambem said...

Oga, with all that you mentioned, wetin come remain? School fees and house rent?
Does she get an allowance? if not, do you provide for her personal needs too? Those things we see as little are what really consumes money in a family o. Have a talk with her, you two should agree on how much each should contribute for the house monthly and what percentage to keep for personal needs.

If her salary is very little, doing all those things you mentioned might just leave her koboless when she needs transportation to work, wears, Lunch, toiletries, some baby needs, etc.

Your nuclear family should be her number one priority before siblings, maybe you need to make her understand.

Are you stingy to her? You two should sit down and talk Ok? See

In my own opinion,a wife shd b a hlpmate which means dt she shd b able 2 hlp in ways she can wich includes financially.I don't c d reson y a workin wife shd nt contribute financially in her home in d lil way she can *jus sayin*

I think a woman is suppose to be her husbands assistant, partner not a liability........I'll suggest you try talk things out with her, I mean try to have a heart to heart conversation with her first and see if she will change or not.

You are irresponsible! From buying Maggi to buying the entire pot of soup. From buying fuel to buying generator!!! People like you will never know how much a sanitary pad costs talk more of buying it for your wife. When last did you change her wardrobe? Do the little things for her and see the change you desire in her.

I don't believe there are still people who behave this way. She suppose to know that she is married and has responsibilities as well. The home is yours to build and not anybody's prime responsibility. She needs to change. That mentality isn't nice at all.

Just let her be when your daughter is grown up she did do same for u too ask KARMA but that's really non of my business.

Please stop whining and give her the money to run your home.She didn't suddenly start behaving like this or didn't you notice when you were courting?There are two sides to every coin
And meanwhile ,I know of several men who have shelved their responsiblities to the woman at home. You married her,so pls oga ,be the man and bring ya money*strollsaway

Hehehehehehehehe! Stil laughing! This one na hungry man o! It's not biblical for d woman to contribute financially in a marriage. If she do it shd b out of her own volition.

Thats just weird. I know women who help pay part of the rent,contribute to pay school fees and even buy car.
So I wonder why this one can't spare small money to buy fish,maggi and toothpaste?How much is fish for goodness sake. The man isn't saying he won't give her the money but that she should not be waiting for him for some things.
And I agree.
My mum never waited for my dad for anything, And he too respects himself by doing his part. Thats what marriage is.one person shouldn't have to shoulder all.
God forbid the man dies. won't she feed her child?

I may believe this story because I know women who say their husbands can never see their kobo (backwards thinking) marriage should be about sharing... haba!!!these day couples share responsibilities now because alot of women work these days.If she has the money and she is not helping then she is stingy... Me I hate dis-comfort o!!! the only reason I will stay without Gen is because I don't know how to on a Gen till today that shit freaks me out. I cant even eat food if there is no meat so I wont wait for a man to give me money to feel comfortable that is why I am working towards making my own money so when I marry am not depending on a soul for comfort.

I have been married for 5 years and I take responsibility for 60% of all the spending at home. It didn't happen as a design but reality on ground because I earn 3x more than hubby. I wouldn't expect him to be borrowing money to fulfill his obligations. If the table turns and he starts earning more, the equation would definitely change but I will still contribute. Its almost like a common sense thing to help in the home. Your wife is definitely myopic and she's even wading off blessings that come with marriage. She needs counseling!

Dear Libers, don't be too quick to judge. I don't blame the woman,it depends on what she has seen with her eyes. If u want meat and chicken in the soup why not give her money to cook it? You can say " I will bring money for stew so u bring money for chicken/fish" . That's just rubbish. Believe me if u give her money for upkeep, when the little things finish, she will take care of it. Besides, are you loving? Do you help out with your daughter and chores? Abi you leave all the chores,cooking and cleaning for her and at the end of the day u still want her to spend her money on u? Do u give her money to do her hair or buy her clothes or your daughter's clothes? If you don't then don't expect much from her. When I married my husband, we were both earning well but my salary was more than his and I used to make substantial contributions to the home. Unfortunately,after some time, I lost my job. For me to get money from my husband na wahala. I will practically be begging him and its if he wants to and what he wants to dat he would give me. I haven't bought myself a pair of shoes since I lost my job. All the bags, shoes and jewelry I use are the good ones I bought for myself when I still had my job. And they are all falling apart one after the other but oga's money is too precious to spend on me. He has a standing order for his own parents. Every month he sends them money but I will beg and quarrel and fight before my folks get even one-quarter of what he sends his people, if they are lucky, once in four months. So Mr. Complainer, if I get a job tomorrow,do u think I will chicken or fish for him? Hell no. I will behave just like your wife. My money would just for myself, my kids and my family members. I will have to save for my future so that I don't find myself in the same situation again. So be the MAN, after all you men deprive in beating your chests and letting us know you are the HEAD. So be the head and take care of your family. Remove your eyes from your wife's money, and it will surprise you how she will start supporting you.

I like dis topic. Tnx Linda. Guys and ladies as well, pls b4 u get married u need to know who u r going to leave with. I do believe dat no matter how much he/she earns, all persons much bring 'food' to d table. More esp now they av a child.

Maybe you packed all your family members into the house and they tend to finish everything in the house without contributing. It could also mean that she does not love you and just married you for your money.

She must be an Igbo woman. That is why they call them 'Oraiku'(Wealth Consumer)

Abeg shut up!.That is how u will get married and your mum will be basis of comparison in your home

If the men would also do little little things in the home like sweep, fetch, dust etc sometimes then no wahala women can also contribute their own quota. Umu nwoke ndi uru ahia

It's funny how nobody asked if the guy helps her to cook and clean. Partnership doesn't have to be financial. If he is not being her partner in the kitchen then he shouldn't even complain cuz she ain't complaining about that one!

U don't work and u provide for ur hubby. Where do u get th money from abeg??? Ur hubby shd suspect u

adaoraclassic said...

Yes oo

Don't use your money to call a guy to make your relationship work ok? Just remain I'm your father's house.

Its your kind we talking of

A man that cannot provide for his family is a gay twat. You ought to marry a man like your self so that both of you can contribute fifty. Idiot I hate little sissy idiots that call themselves men meanwhile they are less than woman who can provide at the same time carry pregnancy and other things. The only thing God has blessed u to do u are complaining about. No real man with normal level of homones will go looking into his wives pocket. So shameful. If such a homo idiot marries my sister I will bend his gay neck.

That's rather harsh u only heard his side of the story have u heard hers. Do u know if she is the only provider for her family and that's where all her money goes. There is always two sides to the same story

Gbam! Man of the house and wife material tinz. It's time for action, he's complaining. Let him say the whole truth

Nikki said...

Anon @354. Spot on!!!. Gay tinz indeed. After them go say gay no dey for naija . Weak brothers. She even try to remind u of fish and draw you a beautiful picture. If you can't provide stay at home and watch the children. Cook food as well and make sure you prepare food for her when she gets back from hustling. Small time your stupid ego will get in the way. God forbid that kind of weak shit man. Go and put on a dress because u are what you are. Yeye dey smell.

its funny how we try to expose other people's mistake even though we are caught in the same web. It's not wrote down somethings but write down some things.

Anonymous said...

Gbam! When you marry your friend, then issues like this won't come up cos she won't mind spending on the family and you won't mind helping out with house chores.

Tolu Johnson said...

Men!!!! u cant always eat ur cake and still have it.....you want ur wife 2 make financial contributions @ home? you shld also be willing to Share in house chores.....by so doing, u are also helping each oda.

Linda post ooo.

Its unfortunate that some men don't appreciate it when a woman contributes.

Anonymous said...

we dont have to blame the woman, the question is: How good is the man to the woman in terms of money?
When I newly married,once i collect my salary, i stock up the house, i now realized that when its mid month and am broke, my hubby will find it difficult to give me money. I now had to reset my self.
Unless I see that he is EXTREMELY broke, thats when i help out.Some men stingy to the core so when u marry one u also do like a STINGIER....LOL
Although the woman has gone too far to the extent of maggi and salt...................

A real man provides for his family. Period. Not all these boys that call themselves men these days. That is how they out live their women by over working them. When they finish pafukaing the wife they will replace them with younger model.
