Just read this tweet.Is this true?
''Pride sets in when a woman earns more than her man, but the man must be very patient & tolerant& work harder''.
Is this really the case in marriages or relationships where the woman earns more or is the bread winner?Someone told me that only a Yoruba man can have a wife that earns more than him and there will be peace in their home, says that it all boils down to tribe, he believes an Igbo man's greatest weakness is his ego.
Does this hold true? Speak your mind or forever hold your peace :-)
A man was ordained d breadwinner by God and a woman his helper. It doesn't really work well with d man as d wife. Hehehehehehe!
ReplyDeleteIts true abt ibo men & their ego,but its accepted in othe tribes. Their men can actually tolerate it but an ibo man wld rather he & his family die in poverty than for his wife to be the bread winner and if he happens to be rich he'd rather his wife be a housewife(stay home at attend to him).
ReplyDeleteNa so!
ReplyDeleteOf course pride will set in.she is only being human,a man is to take care of his wife,it can be hard sometimes for the woman to still show respect if she is the breadwinner abeg.
ReplyDeleteMen take care of. Your wives don't be a. Couch potato!
ReplyDeleteIt has to do with a man's sense of responsibility. When hee feels a woman can do without him, he may have a hurt ego or may even feel threatened. On d flip side, some women degenerate to a state of pride when they earn more than their spouse, perhaps, due to resentful feelings @ not having a sense of security a wife shld have from a husband. This is more so when the man totally leaves everything for the woman to do.
