What Good Is My Marriage If My Husband Treats Outsiders Better Than Me?-pls Advi by Rabbi4real: 5:22pm On Feb 18, 2021
Good evening,

Please share my story, I want to remain anonymous. I think I want a divorce, the only problem is that I do not have a job and I don't know if I can stand on my own if I leave my husband. I met my husband 3 years ago. He has a babymama who they share a son with. He said he could not marry her cos she is materialistic and always wanting more than he can offer her.

My husband is doing well. He holds a senior position in the bank and he is paid well. So, when he dated me,he said he does not want the person he will  marry to work cos he wants his wife to take care of the children until they are grown and gone to boarding house.

So I knew that marrying him, I was not going to work but take care of the home and the children. My husband placed me on a monthly upkeep money of 100k. Later, he reduced it to 70k. Now, that amount is too small for me to run our house cos I spend the money on food, diapers for our baby, dstv, fuel for the generator and my car.

To some people,70k is alot of money but for someone who earns almost 1M every month (I just found out last year), I feel he is grossly taking advantage of us. I have talked to him begged him to increase the money to at least 200k...and he says I do not need money after all, he pays school fees, rent, he has bought bag of rice for me, he pays estate dues, light bill, and some few other things.

But I do not have my own pocket money cos the 70k goes into food and its not even enough...so I beg him money to do my hair. He will tell me to....

If you as a full grown adult decide that you don't want to do anything productive with your life...
You just want to sit down and claim title of married... I wish you Good luck.
In this life, money earns you respect from everyone. But you choose to be begging, instead of working.... I wish you Good luck.
.
You're taking care of children undecided
Working class women, business women, market women all have children and they are taking care of them just fine.
Children will grow up leave the house. What will you be doing then?

Which kind woman be this? You get 70k every month and you spend it all on those things you listed up there?? You can't save even if it's 5k every month then look for a small biz you can be doing from home and increase from there, rather you're asking for more just because you suddenly realized he's earning 1mil.

If he gives you the 200k, it will still not be enough since you couldn't manage 70k, you still won't be able to manage 200k because your taste and standard of living will change that you'll need more money to keep up.

There has to be a catch.

Why would you allow a man to tell you not to work and you accepted the offer.

Go and find a job.
