Women Power and Money

Post by AmalJaber »

Let's take a break from clan politics, One Somalia and the Kenyan intervention or interference (depending on where you stand,) and lets look at our families. I've come to realize that generally, women tend to be somehow arrogant and disrespectful to their husbands when they (the women,) make more money than there husbands. It's quite different when men have more money; it may affect their pride outside the home, but their character remains the same. Has anybody here seen this? Do we have men here whose wives are earning more than them? How do you deal with this?

Check out this guy's problem.
My wife and I have three children (the first born is not biologically mine) but we do not live together.

For one, she does not respect me — she often calls her male friends, whom I warned her against, just to hurt me.

Even worse, there is a time she met my sister and some of my friends and told them that since she is employed, she wants to be a single mother.

When I visit her over the weekends, she is never happy to see me. In fact, before, she used to invite a male friend over when she knew I was coming to visit.

Taking the children for a walk is a problem — she prefers that another person does this. When I do the shopping for the house, she is never happy, preferring that I give her the money. Small and petty issues can set her quarrelling the whole day.

She also does not respect my parents and family members. One day she called them and told them that she wants to be given freedom.

One of her male workmates died about two months ago and since then, she has been requesting for more money for upkeep, yet she used to be satisfied with what I used to give her. I suspect that she used to get money from him.My conclusion is that I am being treated like this because of these men and also because of her lust for money, which cannot support a home.

She does not even want to tell anyone that we are married. Before she was employed, all was well. Please advise.

Why is she asking for money if she is employed? How can he accept half the bullshit she does? He needs to grow a pair.

people just dont change once they get a job. she probably is the same person but before because she depended on her husband completely she made sure to behave. Now that she dont need him her colours are coming out. Why is he staying married to somebody that obviously doesnt respect/love him?

I don't think is this a somali couple or else the story would have been different. I feel sorry for cadaan men even when the wife is not working she is the BOSS. I dont know how they do it but I salute them. :lol:

My co-worker his wife doesn’t work, no kids (passed away) and he still helps with cooking and cleaning. What is worst is he even got a maid to help out once a week the cleaning for just two ppl wth?

This guy has nobody to blame but himself. The man should always be the leader of the house, no questions asked. Just like its the right for the woman to take money from her husband even if she's already wealthy, the man can disapprove a job for the wife. A simple case of the girl knowing her rights and the man not knowing his.

i dont see any problem here other than the guy being a flower..

he had more than enough of an oppurtunity to take charge like a man, but he didnt..

he should tough it out, and take his place in the established hierarchy of his household..
under his wife.

True. This couple may not be Somali, but if you check out the Women's discussions in this forum, you'll realize that this mentality is not really that foreign among Somali families living outside Eastern Africa.

Wallahi, I have seen similar cases happen, I think this is the mentality of all horn african women!
a loving nice housewife suddenly growing balls as she gets financially independant!
the remedy is divore and marry brand new young one...
the older one will end up with old toothless marfish pillar...if she is lucky and pays him!

agree with bareento,
wives sometimes need to know that they are dispensable.
