Would it be okay if a woman is more successful than her husband.
03 may 2022
Hi,
Over the years I have heard a lot of arguments about this particular topic. Is it okay for a wife to be richer and more successful than the husband is?. A lot of people would say oh it doesn’t matter. She can be richer and still be totally submissive to her husband. Don’t be pissed at me I call B.S at least not in a third world country like mine.
Why ?
I Have a neighbor back then who were a young couple at the time. They were very educated and exposed(like they were of the new world). The wife who was the managing director at a firm in lekki was receiving x5 her husbands salary if not more.
They understood each other and it was working for them. Not until she got a promotion at the same firm that required her to spend more time in the office and work more hours. Just that it came with even more benefit she got a new car.. they moved to a new house and they were even having expensive trips every now and then but one thing remained. She had even less time for their relationship work consumed her more and more and if he dared complain the talk of the day was.
“If I give up my job for you can you sponsor my lifestyle?”
“Can you pay me half the money I am earning right now”
“You know I am working this hard for us baby and everything I do is for us to live comfortably”
“it’s only a matter of time before I become the main boss and we can have time for each other again be patient baby”
And as promised she got a promotion even quicker than expected but guess what she had to spend even more time at the office because the boss was beginning to depend on her competency which is not her fault if we are being honest. She eventually had to get a maid who was younger, prettier and around to take care of the house chores.
I think you already know how the rest of this story plays out. Her husband cheated on her with the maid who eventually got pregnant and gave birth to a child.
Long story short they got a divorce and now she is still single and although very rich but single. Her ex husband is Married to their maid with 3 kids now with a good job and they are living okay last I heard.
Now I am not blaming anybody in this case because I don’t know what he must have endured before he cheated or what she had endured to get that far ahead in life. One thing I am sure of is she didn’t make the decision of having a maid work in her home with an easy mind it probably took guts for her to come to that final decision.
I am just saying for everything there is a price. Maybe for her the ultimate price she paid for succeeding that far was her marriage maybe it wasn’t even meant to be but all I know is sometimes in life certain things don’t just can’t work out at least in certain places. Not because there are not the right thing or because they aren’t possible options it just because they just can’t work out .. life is not fair.
Perhaps in another world, country or timeline it might be possible that she keeps her job and her man but in this .. nah it wasn’t.
So tell me what do you think she would have done differently?
Who do you think has the fault?
Do you agree with your girl or wife having more money and success than you have?
Let me know in the comment section. Thanks for reading. Stay safe and stay happy.

I've noticed that there are some men that do not want their wife to be richer than them and this doesn't mean anything to me. As a woman, you should always respect your husband. Whether you're rich or not. So it depends on their understanding
