afrobaby: Wetin perso no go hear from nairaland so taking money from my hubby's pocket na stealig, haba, which kain love una dey practise so,

I take money from my hubby's wallet as I deem fit(u hardly see money in his pocket, if u like, wash 20 of his trousers in a day, u no go find kobo),even withdraw using his ATM as I like, why? cos he knows I dont spend lavishly, if for any reason I take his money, then it is a good reason, that is what I term trust in marriage, even when he receives alert from any of his banks for an atm withdrawal, he just calls me to confirm if I was the one that performs that transaction, and if I take money from his wallet, I tell him after, mostly not before, at times we even joke about it like
wifey: if anyone is looking for money, let him not curse o, na him love take am o
hubby: if anyone is looking for chicken/meat/fish, let her not be annoyed o, na her love eat am.

It is part of fun and love,

taryour: The answer to your question depends on the kind of man you are married to. You alone know his likes,if you know he doesn't like it and you go ahead and do it then you looked for trouble and deserve whatever comes out of it. And for those that their hubby don't mind,courtesy demands that you inform him before or after you have taken it to prevent issues. Some men like to keep changes in their pockets for reasons known to them so as we women so when you now get there and can't find it is annoying. I know a man who forgets his wallet a lot at home or in his car and always has extra money in his pocket.that's my hubby so I don't go to his pocket so I don't get into trouble rather I wouldn't even mind putting more in his pocket for him sef.


Am sure he would even read this post and smile to himself cause I don complain tire oo.

Your husband has married a thief. You will graduate to stealing hundreds of thousands. You cannot be recommended for certain jobs. If you find yourself as a bank cashier you will end up in prison. If I was your husband I would hand you over to the police and get a well bred wife who knows the definition of stealing and abhors it.

babysnogls:
So if he takes what is mine wtout tellin me, is it stealing too?

searay: abeg u still get sister where marry yet?

babysnogls: I need to know. What is wrong in taking some change from your husbands pocket? Do all guys hate it or is it just mine?

Mine did not use to mind before but he later stopped me from doing it.(and i never took above a thousand naira.)

If i cooked food with my money and my hubby decides to scoop some without telling me, i wont get angry now, at least what is mine is his. Do all men dislike their wives taking money out of their pockets?

Valto: ^^^typical nigerian man!! marriage is a union. she is free to take as long she notifies him.

yebo: I do take money from my husband pocket only when I need a smaller denomination between 20 naira and 200 naira at most not that I don't have cash on me but I do take permission before taking it, d only reason y I don't take permission at times is when he's asleep n I need d money at that time n when he wakes up I'll let him knw. U there not tell my husband that u don't have cash on you, he wld be terrible mad at you, u must av informed him immediately u are running out of cash n he wld knw how to reimburse you, he belives anytin can happen dat we require money. So there's no reason for me to take any amount above 500 naira from his pocket especially when its above 500 naira upward.

It's not a typical Nigerian man. She is ONLY RIGHT when she inform him first before taking the money.

You cannot just bang into your husband's pocket and take money from it. What if the money was given to him by someone? Always try to be prudent with what you do in your marriage. Let it be man/woman, you must be open to issues.If it was something the OP and her husband have an understanding, she will not come out here to say that her husband does not appreciate her doing so. Stealing is stealing no matter how little it is. Do not say it's a husband thing. If you both keep money together and have an understanding that you can take money from there when you need to do something, there wouldn't be an issue like this we are discussing.

Remember, even a white lady cannot just go to her husband's pocket and just pick money and make use of it without informing her husband. Even her salary, she cannot just spend her salary without the consent of her husband. They must have spelt out how their salaries will be spent. Either the man takes care of the rent and the wife takes care of groceries. She cannot just see money and start spending.
Do not come here to say is a Nigerian man's attitude. A thief is a thief. So you are saying your children can too go searching and collecting money from you/husband's pockets? They will end up stealing other peoples money when they cannot have access to their parent's money.

Do not encourage the OP here because it is a bad attitude. I know you do it and as such can even steal other Friend's money if they left their bags with you.

Nothing wrong in taking money from your man's pocket (and vice-versa! ) but it is important to "alert him/her" that the money is no longer there ...at least to avoid the "surprise of this 'money don disappear' again"!

Thank you for "keeping it real".

Understanding!, Understanding!! and Understanding!!! with a little dose of "mutual respect" is what matters most.

As for me, nothing gives me more pleasure than for my wife, the one l truly love, the one that brings me joy, to "chop my money"! .... I dont care!

sanb: @Op; EVERYTHING IS WRONG; especially if it’s without his knowledge/consent. Let’s call a spade a spade. To me, I think it’s wrong for you not to inform your hubby that you’ll be taking some money out of his wallet. It doesn’t take 2 seconds to ask for permission.

That one is married doesn’t mean we shouldn’t ask/discuss before certain things are taking/done. Also note that it’s important to set a good example for the kids…..

dammytosh: That is an unnecessary embarrassment all in the name of What is yours is mine.

And to some of you screaming "Nigerian Man mentality". Unfortunately you don't even have a passport. You better wake up to the reality that you will get married to a Nigerian Man for now.

lorretta u: A housewife in my village was beaten to death by her husband and her mother in-law.cos she took #200 from his shirt pocket to buy baby food for their 3month old baby when he wasn't around and the child was hungry.what do u call that?she has since been buried.the guy was jailed for two months and he's out.poor innocent baby is with his little single teenage aunty.cos the grandma is dead.the mother-in-law is out of the question cos she's wickedness personified.and some men will still try to justify such actions.(Example thos that released him from jail in two months
