Well, I disagree when you say some husbands stray because the wives are queen control and have no respect towards their partner. It takes 2 hands 2 clap.
In the first place, why would a wife change to be like that? In my case, I do control my husband in terms of his cards. I was shocked to learn that he had several credit cards that I was unaware about until the bills kept coming. I questioned him and he said it went to paying the household bills. Today, he owes the card companies almost $20K!!!! Really, he says he used it all on us! That made me mad! The money, he says, was spent on the family over a period of 5-6 years.
We live at my Mum's place. I used to work in the past and had always helped where finances were concerned. Now, I am self-employed but have stopped contributing towards the household finances (utilities and food). Instead, I save the money I make from my business for my children, pay the phones bills and cable tv. By the way, since I am self-employed my monthly income varies. I buy clothes for the kids and my husband when they are old/ tattered and do everything else except pay the utilities/ food bill. When we go for holidays, I also pay for some of the expenses. To add to all this, I am expected to look after my kids, cook, clean the house (sometimes he helps out) and run my business.
A lot of times, I guess my husband takes me for granted. That's what most say (family who knows my problems).
I sound frustrated, don't I? I am because there is a lot more going on that I am not writing about. Hope to hear more views.
