Why Men Don't Tell Their Spouse About Their Real Salary by OkwuMajesty: 11:14pm On Sep 29, 2023
In my quest to become a better man, and also been told in church never to hide anything from my partner, I started asking some questions like even if I shouldn't hide anything from my partner what about my salary? Should I tell her how much am being paid?
A friend of mine shared his opinion and according to him ''Pls whatever you do

Never tell a woman your Real salary,They respect

Once she knows your full worth and weighs it

You lose respect

Remain mysterious about your finances with a woman no matter how love enter your eyes''

How real is this advice and what do you think please?

If she knows, she will not rest till it finishes.
After it finishes, she will ask you what you did with the salary she finished.

Because most women (particularly our Nigerian women) would start internally, subconsciously calculating how to SPEND the man's money on liabilities rather than on how to SAVE and INVEST the money in assets.

Follow your friend's advice, take it from me.
That wouldn't stop you from shouldering your responsibilities!

As an husband of 8years.

Your friend is making big sense.

I gained more respect from my wife after I stopped disclosing my incomes and expenditure to her.
I only give her what she wants nothing more.Even when I spend on my extended family, she doesn't know now and I used to inform her.

I learnt my lesson when I noticed she didn't rate me at all and she doesn't disclose her own worth to me.As at the time I realized that,I looked like a FOOL.

I tell you.

That statement alway make me angry.
Before I changed,if I tell her that I don't have enough, the next question will be,how did you spend it.
