Are you happy living like this? How do you manage? How do you feel being in this condition of having to do everything in the home?

Are you the Jobless one? How does it feel knowing you depend 100 percent on your spouse?

    1. My marriage is near perfect but I must admit I have my fears. My husband says the high point of his day is when I dress up so impeccably for work and gets picked up by my driver. One time he was called up for an award but he called me up the stage and started telling everyone of my achievements. I handle all the money in my family so it's not about how much I even make, he makes more. Now we are about to relocate to a country in the middle east where women don't really work that much...God abeg. I can't discourage him from taking up this appointment because I got the revelation last year that our family will excel in the Middle-East (of all places 🙆) even b4 he got the offer. Anyway...God that has started this should better have a plan for me where I can still work, be relevant, dress to kill and totori my husband daily.😜

    3. Listen...some people may NOT be loafing all day at home, they may be trying to get a job or business but no luck yet. I kept throwing in my Resume' for years and had been married for 4yrs and my husband was in to contracts but he never complained and I kept throwing in my Resume until I jokingly threw in to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when a friend told me that I should try there because they will like me, lol, I was shocked there was a test
      coming up, I went for the tests and then BOOM, selected for the interview and guess what? At the interview the female Ambassador spoke to me in French and while I was throwing in CVs I went to the French School just to keep my mind and hope alive, I broke out in the little French I could speak and the way I spoke it was so beautiful I guess, I was selected as a foreign service officer and of course I have a fantastic diction and looks. Today 6yrs on, I have been to 3 different countries on postings with my family and have excelled tremendously And my husband is over the moon, his business skyrocketed ofcourse with my job title My mother inlaw was so good to me in my jobless days and even gave me money from her pension and ones she got from her kids. My husband is the last child. That is why she lives with me all over the world wherever the Ministry throws me to and she is 82yrs now and looks 60yrs. Once you have a good spouse, they would not male it an issue so long as you do not spend the day being untidy at it with the whole house stinking. There are even jobs that are worse than staying at home. All my friends who got in to the banks are all redundant now. I refused then and kept pushing for the Civil Service or international NGOS like the Red Cross, CRS and all

  3. I don't have a problem living with a partner who doesn't contribute to the family but she shouldn't be lazy and just idling around doing nothing. As a man, I always have this intention to be responsible for us even when I don't have enough. If there's a need for her to work, she should and if she refuses, she will have to find a way to meet up half of her personal needs.

  4. For more than a decade of our peaceful marriage, my husband has no secular job. To me he isn't broke. What I earn is for us and it is enough. He doesn't need to bring things to the table, he is the table; peaceful, loving, kind, gentle, content and a great lover of God and me. He looked after all our kids as babies while I worked, he shops, cooks and helps to feed them, drives them to clinics or amusements when there is need. He works on his great talent while at home and is being sought after already (by multinationals that have seen his works, they bang our phone from time to time) but he is yet to make a commitment.
    I believe in him and all I am doing is helping him achieve his vision. That is a whole lot of fulfilment for me. That is my God-assigned duty; to be his helper.
    We have same account and have equal rights to sign and withdraw from them. Our investments are in both our names. There is no country on earth we cannot visit if we want to. Our lives are heavenly minded and not in earthly vanities.

    You have to choose one; God (and his marital institution) or money, you cannot serve both.
    Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and every other thing will be added to you. Go to proverbs 31 and learn the ways of the virtuous woman; she is a great investor and her household is well provided for.
    Thank you Jesus.

    20. Where in Proverbs should we read about the quintessential husband material? A community property belonging to over a thousand women wrote a fantasy about a woman his mother never was and women have been using it to frustrate themselves since.

      How many men know that the same bible says that a man who cannot provide for his family is worse than an unbeliever?

      You described a house husband which is completely fine: it's a job women get praised for and someone has to be around to watch and raise the children but as the kids get older, which of these multinationals is he going to work for with zero years of experience or is a consultant-type job? He had better start now. What exactly was he doing when he was younger that he is now just in training?

      Women whose husbands just breathe in and out then breed, this version of marriage is not what you have o. Tell your man to carry his weight at home or go to work.

    21. @17:39
      You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures nor the power of God. Solomon you referenced did not write Proverbs 31.
      It is THE SAYINGS OF KING LEMUEL; the oracle that his mother taught him.
      Kind Lemuel was not Solomon, was he?
      Again the Bible said a man who "does not" provide, not "cannot" The man this woman presented to us is not "an unbeliever." I want such a man as a husband too.
      This woman that posted this is happy in her marriage and you are there fidgeting and sulking?

  5. My husband is very rich and I earn salary. All he does is pay rent and school fees. I take care of every other expenses. I'm not saying I don't want to contribute just that my responsibilities is way above my salary and oga doesn't want to understand. It weighs me down a lot. I do any kind of side hustle to be able to meet up. Honestly it's very unfair to me. I can't even dress well or even give anyone anything even my younger ones because all the money goes to feeding and day to day activities in the house. I have 4 kids.

    11. Yes anons , my husband is very rich, he owns houses that he put up for rent, most Igbo men build houses but still live in rented apartment. He owns landed properties in 3 states just to mention a few of his investments. I know these because I stumbled on his documents once. I didn't choose to have this arrangement. He just wouldn't bring money for them after paying school fees and house rent.

    12. @18:01
      What should actually concern you is the fact that if that man dies, you and your kids do not have a dime of those investments.
      That is what you should be reasoning with him; that at least his kids should be his heir.
      How about the ones you have not "stumbled upon?"

    14. I hate this kind of situation. 50/50 cannot work if one salary far exceeds the other.

      You better make sure that your name is on the insurance and property title documents cause you could end up doing all that and if this man dies before you, find yourself homeless and penniless and can't even secure a good lawyer to fight for you and the children. You are playing a very risky game. Sometimes women do this shit to make it look like they are dutiful wives and not after the man's money. Knowing the country you live in and the way some cultures treat widows you need to be securing yourself. Worst if everyone knows he is a wealthy man and you end up with no ability to care for yourself and the children you will be a laughing stock. Folks will mock that you married a wealthy man and ended up no better off than even those who never got married. Please wise up, Madam. Wise up!!!

Last week, she was gisting some of her close friends the stress she is facing at home. This lady brought the guy from Lagos to Abuja. She no even allow the guy get job before them marry (not that she was pregnant oo). Now she is stressed up. She buys everything in the house. Guy chops everything in the house, even carrys out to meet his friends. She said she buys alcohol in the house so as to encourage him to stay home. Husband man go pack all the drinks go drink with his friends outside come come house dey purge. Stress is written all over the lady's face and body. I just dey pity her.

    2. They are pouring out their minds anonymously and there’s nothing wrong with that, nobody has mentioned any names here. My hubby wasn’t entirely truthful with me when we got together, that first year was very difficult, I bore everything financially and sometimes lashed out in frustration.

      I strongly believed things will improve immediately he does all marital rites officially and they did. I feel bad when I remember some of my reactions that time but he kept saying “you are a good woman, don’t let this current situation change who you are”. It’s much better now. Hardship is terrible sha...God forbid!!!

  30. At @14:16 stirred the hornets' nests.

    Hear! the typical Nigerian woman, no matter how well she earns, is never happy or feel lesser if she is not collecting money from a man's hands in whatever ship they both are. That is why some of them buy clothes, etc with their hard earned money and yet show off to friends that the items were bought for them by men.

    The story of @14:16 may be true or not. But years ago, a similar verified story was told in a Nigerian national newspaper about a Nigerian couple in the UK. A female Doctor and her Nigerian husband. The man cared for the home front, the woman earned and provided. The arrangement worked so well for them and gave the woman wings in her career progress. Seeing the couple's success, some Nigerians in their social circle gave it a try with varying degree of success and failure.

    In marriage who works and who provides does not matter so long as there is overall benefit for the family as a unit. This why it is better to marry on the bases of shred values, shred beliefs and agreement.
