Hello my beautiful people of the Hive community, welcome back to my blog
It feels good to be alive and write on this platform again. Yesterday I met a friend of mine whom I haven't seen for almost 5 years because they relocated to another state due to the nature of their father's work, and meeting him yesterday was coincidental but exciting at the same time. We were both thrilled to know what has transpired in our lives after a long time, so we went to a particular spot we normally frequent before he left, and we decided to eat and catch-up.
We discussed about alot of things and I remembered he had an older brother whom always doted on him and was friendly to us, so I asked about him and he responded with abit of grief and respect in his eyes as he said his brother was not in the country. I was surprised and curiously asked what transpired and he said his brother abandoned his job to follow his wife to another state when she got a job that pays thrice his salary.
He said after 7 years of being together with his girlfriend, they were preparing to get married when she got the job offer and it required her to relocate to another state and the job pays thrice his salary. He was confused on what to do because of the tough choice he has to make. The question was: "Would she resign from her job to come back and stay with him, or would he resign and follow her?
He was advised by many people not to follow her but she should instead resign and follow him. Others warned him that she would disrespect him if he left his job to depend on her, that she would brag and become proud. Different kind of negative advice came and the decision became even harder to make but in the end, he abandoned his job and followed her.
After he followed her, they started living completely on her income but the most surprising and shocking thing was that she submitted all her SALARY to him. It was now him who gave her money whenever she needed anything. She handed over her ATM cards and the control of her finances to him. She made the money, but he was in charge of it. That was her decision, because she doesn't want him to feel less than a man.
After a while, he also secured a good job, then he opened a business that blossomed. Soon, he was earning very well. Today, they are in another country. It’s not about what you do for love, it’s about who you do it for.
Get the right person and be madly in love.
So let’s talk, as a woman, can you hand over your finances completely to your man?
And as a man, can you abandon your job to live on your wife’s income, or would you force her to resign from her good-paying job?
