The Nigerian Man as the 'House husband'??

Allure · 11-02-2007, 09:33 AM

Would you allow your wife/partner to be the financial bread winner whilst you stay at home and be house husband ??
As a Nigerian man?

In other countries this is acceptable and of course i am fully aware that certain situations would lead to this but my question stands.

your views please Guys

Depends how much she is making. I heard about this one couple where the wife brings home like 400K a year, and my question was, why does the man work? He should stay home and figure out how to invest that money, thats what I would do.

As long as there's that mutual respect between two of you....I'd gladly spend my day lounging/chilling.

Some of these high income females suddenly feel the need to grow balls coz they earn more than the man and start disrespecting him...

sometimes it's a result of the amount of stress they face on the job, and the assertive nature they have adopted in order to survive in the corporate world that turns them into monsters and extends into their relationships, it's usually not just a "money" issue

nothing wrong with allowing ur wife be the breadwinner of the house as long as there is mutual respect and love for each other. and again if the wife doesn't rub it insometimes
