A Nigerian man has thrown a hot take into the marriage conversation. According to him, a rich submissive wife does not exist.
He said once a woman starts financially taking care of a man or the family, respect and submission fly out the window.
“You can never ever marry a rich submissive wife. It’s impossible. Once they start catering for you and taking care of the family, just turn to a woman.”
He also argued that no real man wants to be controlled. So if you want to be a real man, marry a woman you can control and cater for.
“Once the table changes and that woman starts catering for you, just forget about respect in that marriage.”
The internet is now divided.
One person wrote: “There are rich women who still respect their partners.”
Another said: “Money should never be used to measure respect in marriage.”
Someone else added: “He is speaking his truth. Many men have experienced this.”
A different voice said: “Respect is about character, not who pays the bills.”
The debate is raging. Is he speaking from experience or just spreading outdated views? Can a rich woman be submissive, or does money always shift the power?
What do you think — is he right or wrong?
“You can never marry a rich submissive wife, it’s impossible. Once she starts catering for you and taking care of the family, just know you are the woman in the marriage.”
