A woman loses her job.
Her husband quietly takes over all the bills without complaining. He reassures her that they're a team and she'll find another job soon.
The woman gets a job after 2 years.

A year later, the husband loses his job.
The wife starts paying the bills, but after three months she begins telling him:
"A real man should always provide."
"You're becoming too comfortable."
"I've been carrying this family."

Question:
Should the husband see those words as motivation to work harder...
Or as a betrayal of the same grace he extended to her when the roles were reversed?
No insults.
No gender war. A woman loses her job.

Rejoice Obiageri Ibe: Question: what was the husband’s attitude to the family (chores) when he lost his job?
Gyang Isaac: Honestly I feel it's true that most women fall into this category, but if you end up with someone whom never judge you but support then you're very lucky. And I mean in both ways and genders.
Cephason Skycruz Kings: To me, it's a betrayal of the grace he showed her. Marriage is about standing together through different seasons. If he supported her for two years with love and patience, she should offer him that same understanding. Encouragement builds people; constant criticism breaks them
Okoro Godswill: Well I will say it's motivation to work harder,
Because if a woman takes the responsibility of the husband, she herself beings to look down on the man
Forgetting that he paid her braid price.
Cephason Skycruz Kings: If the husband was called a team player when he carried the family, why should he suddenly become less of a man when he needs support? Marriage isn't a competition of who provides more; it's a commitment to lift each other until both are standing again.
Omotoso Taiwo Yemi: This should be expected
Obi Chisom Christiana: The truth is from creation, women are not designed to pay bills, her place is to nurture and care for the family.

This doesn't mean that she shouldn't support her home financially.

But to pay all the house bills and still function well, this may be difficult.

Any woman who does that is a specia...
Obi Chisom Christiana: Continuation:

Can a man who is out job do all that quietly without problem in the home since she is the woman is the one working and providing and may not have all the time.

How many men can do it without feeling too big or tagging it that it's the woman's job and they are helping the wife?

Howe...
Emoji CSO: You dey trust woman
David Onyedikachi: Honestly women need to do better.
Men don't even want much, just respect and peace of mind only.
