Before we start do you think is a good idea to share bills in marriage? Well, many times on social media, the topic of sharing bills between a man and a woman going on a date has been a subject of discussion but rarely has anyone talked about bill sharing between a man and his wife.
A lot of people hold the belief that, since the husband is the head of the family, it is expected of him to provide more.
But a Twitter user identified as @DarkSisterHive started a conversation online about this and it has got people reacting.
@DarkSisterHive took to the popular micro-blogging platform to share the story of her cousin who left her husband because he wanted them to share bills equally.
According to the Twitter user, her cousin’s husband makes twice his wife’s salary but he still insists that they split the bills equally.
@DarkSisterHive noted that her cousin said she would rather live alone and pay her bills than having a man who’s always insisting that she also pays bills.
A situation that got @DarkSisterHive’s cousin more upset was when her husband insisted that she still pay half the bills while catering to a newborn.
My cousin left her husband and he keeps accusing her of cheating but really she left him because he makes twice what she makes and was still insisting on her paying half the bills. Sis said she would just rather pay all her bills and not be bothered by him. Good for her
