Being the sole breadwinner is bad for a man's health - but BETTER for a woman's US researchers followed the progress of more than 3,000 married people aged between 18 and 32 between 1997 and 2016 Cultural pressure on men to provide causes physical and mental damage But women may approach breadwinning as an opportunity or choice Being the breadwinner can damage men’s health – but it gives women a boost. Researchers have found men’s well-being declines as they take on more financial responsibility in their marriage. Their psychological and physical health tended to be at its worst during the years where they became their family’s sole breadwinner. But taking on more financial responsibility had the opposite effect on women, who became happier the more they contributed and felt psychologically worse if their spouse was contributing more than they were. For the University of Connecticut study, researchers followed the progress of more than 3,000 married people aged between 18 and 32 between 1997 and 2016. Over the period, participants regularly had to answer questions on their emotional well-being and health, as well as detailing what income they had. They found that during times when men were the sole breadwinner in their family, their psychological well-being scores were an average of 5 per cent lower than years when their partners contributed equally. Men’s health scores were also 3.5 per cent lower on average when they were the sole breadwinner. Professor Christin Munsch said: ‘A lot of what we know about how gender plays out in marriage focuses on the ways in which women are disadvantaged. ‘For example, women are more likely to be victims of domestic violence, and they still perform the lion's share of housework. ‘Our study contributes to a growing body of research that demonstrates the ways in which gendered expectations are harmful for men too. 'Men are expected to be breadwinners, yet providing for one's family with little or no help has negative repercussions.’ 'Breadwinning women may feel a sense of pride, without worrying what others will say if they can't or don't maintain it.’ Although being a breadwinner improved women’s emotional health it had no impact on their physical health. The researchers took into account several alternative explanations, including age, education, income, number of hours worked and whether or not the couple had children - but none of these other factors could explain their findings. Prof Munsch said the results were good news as modern couples tended to share the burden of work and looking after the family. She added: ‘Whereas men's psychological well-being and health tend to increase as their wives take on more economic responsibility, women's psychological well-being also improves as they take on more economic responsibility.’

Elder001:it is only a black man mentality to carry all d burden all in d name of ' I don't want my wife to have money more than me' ish. When you and ur woman work, it ease d burden from u. Instead of fighting ur wife from working or trading, y not support her. Head of d family? 2 Likes |

adontcare: Honestly I don't understand some Nigerian men.. some even stop their wives from working. When your wife is working and contributing to the home the burden won't be much but in a situation were you want to be the sole provider all because of ego. some men think the only way they can sustain their ego or command unlimited respect they must be the sole provider. Being the sole provider isn't good for a man's health. Nobody should kill himself with heavy burden because of ego or head of the home myth. |

Marriage is a scam. If I don't see a girl that can contribute equally, I will rather remain single for life. I'm not even interested in children, I've got to be rich before having one. |

It is wise to setup a trade for your wife or fix her up to support the family but not takeover the primary responsibility of the family. A virtuous wife gives supporting hand no matter how little. 3 Likes |

TonyeBarcanista:It is wise for a woman to work on herself and be productive prior seeking a man to marry. It is also wise for fathers to understand that their daughters will need to make financial contributions when they get married, thus they should educate them, guide/help them towards gainful employment or setup meaningful businesses for them prior marriage. It is not the responsibility of a man to setup a business for a woman in the name of marriage. Except she is coming from a bad place in life or she does not have reliable parents. Stop inheriting other mens' liabilities in the name of marriage. If a man has raised his daughter to be dependent on a man, leave him to enjoy what he has raised till old age. So emancipated men can use him as an example of how not to raise the girl child 1 Like |

Elder001: Elder 001 alias Ubunja. For your mind you dey garner support. The same you under two monikers supporting your rubbish post. Don't go and work. Your bones will soon fail you as the symptoms of old age will hit you like a bomb.. You will realise sooner than later that you spent all your life wasting away. You probably are a ritualist as they say or how can you have this much time on NL and expect to make anything reasonable out of your life? I am sure you can't even feed yourself not to talk of feeding a family of your own as old as you are. Thats the height of disgrace for the menfolk. I remember telling you that you are not a man but a mistake. You are what the Yoruba's call alainuronu, elerotirin okunrin. Men like you are quick to bring out their dicks as that is all you have to offer because deep down you know you are not ready to take responsibility. Men like you who complain about money are gigolos in reality. Women don't submit to gigolos they submit to men. I have a daughter and don't pray for her to meet a man like you but I know if you have daughters they will end up with men of similar character as you. Then you go know say you be every woman's nightmare. 1 Like 2 Shares |

whose fault is that when some of you men would prefer having a house wife cos you are scared of dick measuring. husbands are meant to contribute atleast,70% of his earnings while the wife gets 30% of hers. that's why you are made head of the house by God,and women the helper. 1 Like |
