Stripping A Man Of His Financial Masculinity..

Is there anything wrong with a woman giving her man money to help him out in a committed relationship?
That is what we are gonna tackle today in our couch session....get your popcorn and cola ready!





BV Mizz Majesty
''So, I've been dating my better half for sometime now and things just went downhill financially for him at a certain point and being that I work and earn a decent income, I always "offer" to give him money when he's in dire need.
My boyfriend absolutely hates this...It drives him crazy whenever I give him money to help him out. 

Sometimes it even results in a minor quarrel when he refuses to accept the money. I know he has a bright future but things are just rough for him now. How does he expect me to sit there and just fold my hands while he suffers due to financial disturbances here and there. 

He never asks me for money but I just give him because I just want to help him out with little money here and there to sort himself out whenever he has an issue...at least till things get better...I know it will. He always complains that I'm stripping him of his masculinity...

I have a good job and I'm a woman of very few needs as I live a very simple life so I have cash to spare and what's wrong in helping him out? We are friends afterall and friends help each other out. Isn't that what love is all about?
Even while growing up, my mother would warn us not to give guys money that they in turn would look for girls to provide for with the money and that nature has made a man to be a provider. 

As an adult today I dont think twice if my man needs money and I have it. 


Has any of you been in this kind of situation before? That stubborn boyfriend of mine never asks me for a dime and it pains me that I'm meant to be his first point of call when trouble comes. He knows I have the money but he never asks and he'll just be there suffering in silence and looking for other people that can help him out. Anytime I bring it up he will say I'm not letting him be a man and he's meant to be the one doing things for me...Isn't this pride? 

Meanwhile I know "without a doubt" that he will do the same for me if tables were turned, so what seems to be the problem? Why do we Africans emphasise so much on gender roles?



*Giving is Okay if you are not going to expect that he must Marry yo because you invested time and money on his head..Giving is also Okay if you are giving  with the heart of a child of the living God but then some broke axx brother turn it into a day job to collect from their mates and then become too lazy to pursue a career or look for a job.

I will only invest my money in a man who has a dream and knows how to wake up to pursue it.

    2. Some people don't like to feel indebted to anyone. Same way some ladies will never collect money from a man they are dating. So that when she wants to move on she won't feel indebted. All relationships must not end in marriage. If the guy wakes up tomorrow to tell you he is no longer interested in the relationship am sure you will tell the whole world you invested in him. If he doesn't want your money just let him be.

    3. Money can NEVER give a man muscle. Rather the quest for money without the help of God kills a man.

    4. Depends on the person. There shouldn't be a defined rule. If he's a hustler and not stingy, no p, but if he's a lazy ass, better pretend and be drinking Garri with him o because he'll become Oliver twist and he'll even encourage the person to borrow.
      So it depends and ones head should be used and not heart.

    10. My dear, your guy is a REAL guy, others will collect without thinking much of it. They'll even make it a habit and have this sense of undue entitlement.

      There's nothing wrong with what u do, and there's nothing wrong with how he feels either. You should be happy that u have a strong willed principled guy whose ego will not allow his woman be the provider at all times.

      However, if he's extremely helpless I'm sure he'll have no other choice than to ask you.

      See eh, some men will rather die than ask any woman for money. Not even their own sister, much more Gf or wife. I think it's a good pride that should guide any man who doesn't want to lose his esteem or masculinity, as u call it.

  5. You know is only in Nigeria that spending in a relationship is only meant for the guy alone. It's suppose to be a two way things but under one condition if the guy is not the lazy type and happen to be so broke at that time and he is the struggling type then one can reciprocate giving under that condition in a relationship.

  8. Poster is he from Anambra? They don't let women spend on them, which is good. I feel your should stop worrying, at least you offered to help and he was the one who refused. Make sure he has the basic necessities. When visiting you can offer to cook for him or buy him gifts, as the hard working person that he is he will get back in no time.

  9. No harm in giving darling. It is blessed to give than to receive. A giver never lacks. That said you can help anyone so long as you don't expect anything in return. God blesses a cheerful giver and it does not neccessarrily have to come from the same person you help. Also like Stella said I hope you ain't doing the giving with the mind set of getting married to him. If it leads to marriage fine. If it does not lead to marriage all well and good. Just do as your heart directs.

  11. @ poster your man happens to be a decent man and a man with pride ,am not saying giving to your spouse is bad,bit just as what stella said,giving to a guy with a bright future and your heart tells you and you see it,that even if you don't give him money he can stand up as a man.and it is not everytime because there are some guys that do DAT on a daily basis ,looking for girls to dupe and extort money from.is good to give sometimes to your spouse but dnt make it an adult,just my opinion.

  12. Why don't you let him be the man then...since he is always complaining and hates taking from you!

  13. No but d woman will tell d whole world one day

    1. Tell the whole world. Maybe yes. But the guy must have done something to warrant that. They just can't behave well after. Using my self as an example, I hate to kiss and tell. But why did my exs(not one or two), served me insults when the relationship broke up. One even had the audacity to give me advice to continue starting from the scratch. Why won't a girl broadcast that?

      Delete
    2. I agree. Some women will not allow the guy any rest of mind simply because they've helped him financially.

      Any small argument they'll remind him of how they "suffered and toiled" for him, bla bla. Or even if he as much as smiles to a female friend, they'll disgrace and finish him. Everything in that relationship afterwards will be tied to that money. I can't stand such women abeg

      Delete
  14. I totally get your mans perspective and the issue is sometimes a woman can rub it in your face after helping you or when you break up she starts singing about all she has done for you, so to avoid such a man has to behave.
    Also, how you offer help matters too. Next time tell him you want to borrow him so he oays back, that way he wont feel his masculinity is being stripped from him.
    I get your own point though cos even with this mentality, if you guys marry its gonna be the same and its wrong. A woman is a helper and its okay to let her help you. What is not okay is letting the woman be the provider. Even if a woman has her own money, a man should take grrater responsibility. Even if the woman earns more, he should take care of the priorities.

  15. Even if I have,I'd rather he borrows and top it with mine. I too stingy for that side. Lmao. He knows better than to ask me. Which money do I even have that he would want to borrow from. #skipsawayhappily#

    ReplyDelete
  16. When God instituted marriage, he said the wife is to be an helper.
    Giving your partner money from a sincere heart when he is in need of it simple means the woman is playing that role of helper which God has designated to her. so long as you are not trying to emasculate him.
    So their is nothing absolutely wrong with partners switching roles occasionaly in relationship, thats how it works.

  22. There is absolutely nothing wrong in helping YOU MAN when he is down financially once in a while, especially knowing that such gesture can be reciprocated if reverse were to be the case. There is however something wrong in continuously helping a man who is continuously financially down, and expects it as of right. . In your own case, we are all product of our experiences, the values and culture we have been reared in. If your guy derives his ego from his ability to provide, please don't push it. Give him moral support, encourage him, but don't push for financial support. In this generation, such men are rare, if he is not pretending.

  23. Poster it's bcoz of ladies like you that most men now think it's okay to laze around and feed off women. Lookatew. Crying to spend on a man, when he decides not to marry you, u start recounting what u spent. Why can't you let him struggle on his own and make it? Do u think your money will stop him from cheating on you?
    I am sure your be is an igbo man hence the pride. If it were to be a Yoruba man, he would've cleared your account by now. They are demons like that.

  27. Think the issue here is trust. If you as a woman has been in courtship with a man; learning from each other and about each other and not sex, sex, sex, you'd know the answer to this question.

    I got a job before my then fiance and we were in courtship for more than 2 years. I paid for almost everything. In a restaurants, I give him the money to pay for us. I never despised him because he hadn't a job then. There was/is mutual respect and trust there. He was able to pay for my bride price and that meant he married me. We never had sex before this "bride price ceremony". Every other thing; wedding ceremonies, my wedding gown, the hall, was paid by "me". "Me" in quote because we had begun to combine finances; joint account with either to sign, joint investments etc. We've been together for about a decade and very happy. I do not wish for any other.

    Really, if you love someone, you should respect and sacrifice for them. The problem is that girls go into relationships that are purely a sexual expedition and not a character learning process. Above all, keep Christ first.

  38. Poster, l have grown to see that your mum is right. She couldn't have said it better. But several times l have been drawn to give my date money due to lack or support. Even till date I support my best friend (he's male) if need be. While I do not regret giving any of my ex's money, I learnt it brings about complications (ego issues,self esteem, unhappiness, and laziness from the guy) because he feels disrespected. Even when l meant well. Because of this experience, I am very weary of giving a bf cash. If I create that foundation, l know the relationship will head for the rocks. So instead l leave him to do what he can. And in times of down, I can offer to split bills. You know, I have 2gfs that can never use their money(they don't even have) to do something for their serious date then (now husband), they will rather give encouraging words of advice and prayers to their man and it has WORKED for them! They both seem to know the right words to say, tell their man what to do and stick by him. While me that gave, was battling in my relationships. Lol. I hope BV Ralph is reading this (a relationship hardly works out when the lady gives) Why do you think Linda Ikeji wouldn't just settle for any man? If a lady feels justified in helping out her man, she should go ahead but expecting that the giving or building or starting from the "scratch" will lead to marriage will only lead to heartbreak and disappointments.

    1. You were making real sense until you brought up Linda Ikeji. Settle for anyman? So funny. You ladies can be funny. You think because you have money everyman wants you? To begin with, Linda is old! Her real age is around 40. I can't marry a woman that's more than 30. Secondly, I can't even be with a woman that's richer than I am. Thirdly, real men don't take money from women because nothing free comes from a woman. She will always hold it against you- someday. And yes, I be Igbo boy! We are proud.

Thats a real man who was brought up to be a man. I wish my husband was like that. But he is not. He will take and ask me to even borrow from my siblings. No sense of masculine pride at all. You are lucky having such a man. Let him be himself abeg. Allow him to be a man. I pray my sons turn out to be like that. Not like their dad...( long hiss)...

  43. Giving to a man in a relationship(money) is totally wrong. You should even be proud you have a man who knows that and is turning down the offer. Some gold diggers would take advantage of the situation and milk you dry. No woman has ever given to a man she isn't married to and not regret it, even some who has supported in marriage when he is down, have sorry tales to tell. He is not your brother or a friend, he is not your responsibility. It's ok to buy him gifts and supplies for the house and cook with your own money, but giving him money is out of it.
    Your mom is right about nature and men.

  47. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you helping a partner out. It all depends on a man's ego to accept or reject such gesture. My then fiancée helped me with a start up but today things has turned around, I just bought her first car celebrate our 8 wedding anniversary.

  48. If he was supportive n was equally taking care of your needs when he was financially OK... Then, is okay to support n give him when the need arises.
    Don't over do it or make him comfortable taking money from... He also needs to sit up n pick himself up.

If that guy marries her, she will regret that marriage. She already has the red lights now and shes refusing to heed them. I tire for this generation of young girls oh.

  56. My own is, why would you have to pressure him to take your money? Na you get money and if he really is in need of your help he will ask if he doesn't then allow him hustle his way out.

  59. Sister better respect yourself and stay one place. Is like you haven't experienced guys before. Just continue to form oyibo until you enter one chance to Ghana. Since he wants to be a man allow him be a man na! You are yet to understand Nija Men na why I dey laugh. Babes with good experience will give elaborate talk on this.

    Nija men will be forming I don't want, I don't collect money from women, I'm not in the habit of taking money/asking women for money all na wash. Just to keep their ego and wait for you to persist and boom! Jackpot!!. They will start using psychology on you until they drain your pocket and in the process, they will be spending your money on their Otepu (lovers).

    Friend no friend, better don't give boyfriends your money. Same goes to marriage. You can contribute once in big blue moon not assuming the man's responsibilities oh! else, OYO is your case. You will just become mummy and daddy at the same time while the other women will be enjoying his money.

    Borrow yourself sense I don tell you.

  65. How come men dont borrow their wives money, Na dash,,,, bt women will want to borrow their husband. Gender equality comes to play only when it favors women. If u agree that there is equality in the relationship den women shud give to men as much as we give to dem. Men av been training and taking care of women since time immemorial, just coz u do it once we won't hear word, selfish and stingy creatures. Men go die b4 una know say we don try.

    2. Men are the reason why women have become stingy. Most women by nature are givers but most men have become lazy. I have been married for about a decade now and got my first job after marriage. I was a corper when I hot married so my hubby and parents took care of the event. After I started earning well I supported my hubby and I am still supporting him. I do not borrow him money when I know he cannot pay but will give whatever I have. We have built a solid home together but to avoid looking back with regret I keep personal money for my self. Why should I feel the need for this? Cos men are known to do the worst when you least expect it. I have prayed and hope for the best but even at that my head not heart says have something for the rainy day....men need to talk to themselves...most wife do not have 100% trust in their men which is really sad. I rest my case

  66. I can lend a guy money but my experience with lending guys money haven't been good so far, that was how one Emeka Obama refused to pay me back my money. After I gave him the money in good faith even as I had refused to date him o, I gave him the money as a friend (he was married, so I thought all was forgotten) now, if I ask for my money, he'll say, so it's because of 40k that you are calling me. Chai, I don suffer, still thinking of how to get money, thinking of calling his wife

  71. Dated my boo from uni and i would sneak money in his pocket, or leave it in his room, would also do food stuff . fortunately this phase did not last too long. We had issues at some point cos i wanted to be sure he did not feel obligated to marry me cos i stood by him in Owu days and told him as much, whatever i sacrificed or did was cos i loved and believed in him not to buy him to marry me.

  72. You should be happy you have a man who knows it is his duty to provide for his lady and would rather starve than ask for financial help from you.

    My darling, you must realise that men are wired differently, so trying to analyse the typical male from a typical female standpoint would certainly be counterproductive. I know it's hard to see someone you love suffer when you can conveniently help out but you have to honour his wishes. If you keep disregarding his opinion on financial assistance, what you meant for good will blow up on your face and can even end the relationship, which will be very unfortunate. Since he feels emasculated if you want to help out financially, why not do something less obvious like buying him stuff instead of giving him cash? You can take care of other things he would have bought with his money. That way, he can use the little cash he has for more pressing issues. Make sure it appears harmless, don't let him know this is what you choose to do since he refuses to ask for your financial assistance.

    However, be mindful of the fact that certain things you do during courtship would set the pace of certain things after marriage. I'm assuming that's the goal of this relationship, no? Another pertinent point to always have at the back of your mind is, a man whom you've supported and done things for as investments, owes you nothing. He can turn around and marry a lady who doesn't even give him a pin. There are no guaranties in life. I hope your benevolence isn't to show him that you are a wife material, though? Because you can't buy love even with devolution and loyalty, let alone money.‎

    Whatever you do for him should be done at your own "peril", for lack of a better word. Before you render any assistance, ask yourself "if I do this for him and he ends the relationship tomorrow, would I regret this help I'm about rendering? " If your honest answer is "yes", don't do it but if it is "no" then go ahead. 

    Personally, I will have more respect for a man who would rather ask for financial help from his male friends than from his rich girlfriend. ‎

  74. I believe a woman should help out in the home if she has the financial means. I also believe the man has the primary responsibility for the family and the woman's role is that of a helper when it is required. The roles when reversed always breed problems as it is against nature. The man must never become slothful or shack his responsibilities because he knows his wife is capable. It is wrong and the woman loses her respect for such man. I have noticed that whenever the woman is willing to give the man changes and begin to expect it as a right....these are the reason why most homes have issues...more often than not the woman becomes automatic breadwinner after the marriage. As most men only take care of basics e.g. house rent and school fees which is next to nothing while the woman bears the rest e.g food, clothing, birthday celebrations and every other spending which is now very expensive. Men must remain men and head of the home. Do not share your responsibility with your wife except you cannot afford it. This is my opinion and no one should bother replying as we are free to have divergent views

  76. Selfish women everywhere. Like guys haven't been sponsoring women abroad for education only to be dumped at the altar. How many women here can swear that they aren't chopping one guy mugu at this very moment?

    Don't bring your selfishness into this issue. Of course they're bad eggs in both sexes but giving is one of the most pivotal way of showing love. I would NEVER marry a woman who will think twice before helping me out when I need it. Cuz relationship is a partnership.

    Stella, your gender equality campaign will remain a failure in Nigeria until you and other women make it all inclusive.
