Can you just for once give reasonable advice? Some of the advice you give are disted. Some folks bringing their issues here need healing, and not all these bashings from you. Be positive and get a good life.

Kobojunkie:
Reading through the OP and several other comments, you would almost think these individuals were talking of some Stewpid child they were raising or accommodating for selfish benefits. A woman worked really hard to build her career then chose to get married afterwards but here is the man she married essentially stating she would need to abandon all of her hard work for the sake of his dick. 🤔

It's nice to let her parents be aware of the situation with evidence when they visit in ths summer. I'm sure they might feign ignorance of the whole situation.

You're the one trying to cunning here. Don't act like you're unaware that Imo women don't play with their money. undecided

Don't you ever attempt sharing this matter with your wife's parents bcoz you'll never win.

Thank you so much for the kind advise. I will do so.

A lot of times, our insecurities and fears are triggered by an external factor.

We can't start saying "I may not trust my spouse" so we get defensive and then protective of ourself. Our spouse sees that and reacts to it.

The Enemy of course is working overtime because he loves misunderstandings, he's broken up so many covenants with that. he will water that seed of misunderstanding and mistrust until it grows I to a tree.

God doesn't want that and once you go to Him, He will help you uproot that seed before it becomes a tree.

Because every marriage dies by a 1000 cuts and finances, lack of communication and mistrust are 3.

Something, maybe a combo of what she saw and something you did, has triggered her defenses. She's not going to tell you, but she's forgotten she's part of a triple team. You need to reassure her and calm the muddy waters.

I edited this to add:

I didn't read any of your other replies on the thread when I typed my earlier response.

It's scary I'm right. You're about to retire and she's feeling like you're about to take care of yourself whilst she shoulders the bills. She's finally seeing how hard it is to pay bills and the Enemy has planted a seed in her head that you will soon buy land in Nigeria in your name only and begin to build whilst she is doing jackie and dodoyo.

It's a Trust issue.

If you call her family or yours, you will love divorce court by 2027.

Fix this with God and love. Come back, drinking your Caprisun and eating your biscuit and update us.

I rest my case. Feeding is less than $1K, compared to someone that spends thousands a month on mortgage, car notes, insurances, property tax, kids sporting activities, utility taxes.
The folks that live abroad will understand.

I believe every marriage is a partnership, and that’s how it should be.

Kobojunkie:
Is your marriage of the traditional model, or is it instead a partnership where you are both expected to share the bills in addition to taking care of the children and managing everything at home? undecided
onuku: 11:39pm On May 19
We both are from Imo state.

In this day and age; single income can't sustain an average household anymore.

All I am saying is that isn't she supposed to chip in the family expenses aside grocery. Here, 3 of the kids have their breakfast and lunch in their respective schools.

Lastly, I am compelled to inform her parents of what's going on!

Kobojunkie:
1. If you are both Nigerians, it has a lot to do with it since most Nigerian women submit to their husbands with the expectation that he occupies the role of sole provider in the family. undecided

2. Well, either your wife is not happy with the arrangement—you shoving a spreadsheet of the monthly expenses at her as well — or she is telling the truth when she says she does not have any money. grin
onuku: 11:01pm On May 19
The 15 years she didn't work was because of our young family. The oldest is 15 while the youngest is 7. Traditional or partnership has nothing to do with this.
When she graduated from school; the arrangement was for her to work for 6 months and keep everything for herself. After the 6 month period, she will start chipping in. I even gave her a spreadsheet of our monthly expenses.

Please just contribute your humbly advise.

Kobojunkie:
Huh? She is a pharmacist whose job requires her to talk all day to customers, but to you, she is a 'quiet' type and doesn't talk to you.

OK, you live abroad, but is your marriage arrangement with your wife a traditional one or a partnership where you both are supposed to share every role to an extent, or maybe equally?

2. Counselor/therapist for what purpose?
onuku: 10:30pm On May 19
I answered your questions to the best of my ability. I'm in my late 40s, and need to start planning for my retirement. By the way, she's a pharmacist, and we are based in abroad. Carrying all the bills alone is a disaster waiting to happen.
She's a 'quiet' type and doesn't talk to me because of this. She refused for us to see a counselor / therapist.

Kobojunkieee:
I noticed you did not answer the questions that I asked. undecided

2. So, why do you not believe your wife then? grin

The marriage is over 15 years. Husband was taking care of everything throughout the period during the marriage. She started working last year's January, and started doing feeding for a family of 5 last July. 3 months ago, we agreed that she will also contribute some money towards utilities. She contributed towards utilities for 2 months and stopped. Reason being that she doesn't have money

Refusing that she does not have the money, but she works full time, and sometimes overtime.

She on her own decided that's what she can bring and did it for 2 months.

WhiteIverson:

Clarify what “refuses” means: Is your spouse outright refusing, ignoring the issue, or is there a change in priorities?
Do you have a prior agreement?
Is there a trust or relationship issue at play?
onuku: 6:18pm On May 19
Spouse works full-time, and sometimes overtime, and suddenly refuses to contribute to monthly bills.

Please advise how to handle this situation.

Bro, $20K is a lot of money in the West. You are doing great to be able to save that. Most of us in the West cannot boast of that as saved.


Earlier this year, I went back in time to few years back when I was doing so well in Nigeria. The noises from friends and all nurtured the decision to move abroad inside of me. I became so restless till I finally leave. The first day in Canada was the day I knew this place isn't where I can be forever. Most of us would have come back before the time we had in mind except for the fact that I don't still have enough. If I want to travel to naija for vacation now, I will need up to $4k. If I take that away from my savings, I don't know how I can recover.

No one tells about the downside of this place. I feel lonely, depressed and empty most times. Because no one to talk to, just everyone in my workplace goin about their business. If I make attempt to talk to them, they just waive it with a smile. It's been 3years here and the people I still talk to on video call are friends from Nigeria. It's been 3years and my savings is still Short of $20k despite how much my friends in Nigeria do tell me how easy it is for me to make money abroad but I never tell them my situation. I can't wait to make enough and leave Canada for good. I know a lot will come at me with the usuall "come back to Nigeria na", please this is not an attempt to denigrate your abroad heaven, just for me to rant out and be fine[/quote]

You are damn right, going by your grandpa's quote regarding big breasted and orange size breasted babes.

Me personally I love breast sha...I don't know for the rest of my niggarrrrs
