“I don’t believe that it’s fair in this economic state for a man to have a 100% of financial responsibilities in the household...” - Madame Joyce





If you’re in the UK or abroad, both husband and wife should share the bills. The wife shouldn’t be handling only water and electricity when she earns £1,800. Those bills can’t be more than £200 or at best £300 during winter. What happens to the rest of the money? It’s some men that enable this kind of nonsense. I know a family in the UK where the husband earns £2,800 and the wife earns £1,950. The wife didn’t work for two years because of childcare, as she gave birth almost immediately after arriving in the UK. She later got a job and started earning £1,950. I asked my friend how much his wife was contributing, and he said she was only paying the water and electricity bills. I advised him to speak with his wife so that they could be 50:50 to share bills, but he was doing Odogwu here and there. Recently, he told me he had spoken to her and they now share everything 50:50, including rent. Their total monthly bills are about £2,500. What changed his mind was that he overheard his wife telling her younger brother, “Why can’t you go to a private university? I’ll handle it.” The moment he heard that, he changed his mind and enforced equal bill sharing in the house, no cheating. If you travel abroad, drop your traditional Odogwu mentality. Marriage is partnership simple.



@AsidanyaMiracle My own question to any lady who doesn’t want to contribute to the family expenses will always be, “kindly tell me what you want to use your money for” if you can convincingly answer what you want to use your EARNINGS for, then I don’t mind shouldering all the bills, but if not 😂
