Gift Giving Etiquette

Gifts from a man to a woman must be said to come from the man’s mother, wife, sister, or other female relative, never from the man himself.

Kenoxman:
I only assist ppl financially once. Ask me again and I tell u I don't hav. Adopt this approach and u see a big difference in ur dealings with ppl especially Nigerians. I hav com to realize dat Nigerians will continue to ask u for financial favour so long as u keep giving them. Learn how to say "NO" from today and see urself free from unnecessary troubles. I learnt it not too long ago and I bet u, it's one of the biggest lessons of my life.

Please I need a piece of advice on how to handle this situation.

I have a very close friend and his wife has asked for financial assistance severally and I obliged. The problem I have here is what will my friend think if he should be seeing a bank alert from me on his wife's phone?

The woman has been calling my line since the beginning of this month which I have continued to ignore. She would later send text asking for financial help and this kind of situation is very confusing because you might report to her husband and they will both turn the whole thing against you.

Please what should I do?

alimaa:

My friend is financially okay

superability:


That means your friend is not releasing enough funds to her or the woman is just being greedy... Dats all

Remedy.... Just like what others said, just a form of addition.... Try to talk to the woman, find out if her husband is really doing the needful, if the answer is negative, then find a diplomatic way of talking to ur friend about it using a created story u will make up and engage ur friend to contribute to it then make him share his experience based on how he treat his wife... If he is sincere with u, he can tell u the whole truth. From there u can make ur judgement.


Though I'm not married, but I guess this will help unravel hidden truth

Apination:

You have no sense of boundaries. There's no reason why your friends gf talk more of wife should be asking you for money, moreover, Your friend might be in on the whole sham. You put yourself in this situation, Because there's no way you can prove to anyone that you are not sleeping with that woman which I'm suspecting you are doing even if you might not be

Twoclans:


Your friend is financially okay and his wife is begging you for money
Please be careful with that lady. Its either she is greedy or she wants to lure you to her bed.

She knows 99% of men will want something in return when they gift a lady with things. Please be careful.

BrutusOj:
Only a yahoo husband will stoop so low for that. Every man has an element of pride to protect, if I catch my wife begs someone else money, be it her own siblings, my siblings, talk more of an outsider called a friend, she is in big trouble.

Shattuck:
ask her if her husband is aware she is asking for help,if yes,then help her through her husband,if no, then ask her to contact you through her husband.

baby124:

The frequency and desperation with which she begs is suspicious. So many people you think are comfortable are struggling g. He may look rich on the outside but they can barely eat two meals at home. Don’t you find it odd that she begs the friend like they need the money to survive?

midnighter:
Tell her youre not comfortable giving her money without her husband's knowledge and tell her to ask him first. And tell her you'll be blocking her number henceforth.

And follow the other advice here about screenshotting the messages in case she tries to get revenge on you by trying any funny tricks.

No need to randomly send your friend money because it will injure his pride. And personally I don't think you need to tell him anything either, it's not really necessary because you don't have anything to confess to the guy.
