Peggy revealed that her husband would not let her pay bills but noted she is always there to care for the house and support during emergencies.
"Just say you earn more than your husband Kiekie, then bill sharing is a Must. It is my husband's responsibility to pay the bills especially since he can afford it, mine is to take care of the home & be there for emergency cases. My man won't even let me pay jack".

obaksolo:
"I Agree with Peggy Some Responsibilities are for the Man be it home or Abroad. If a woman works and want to support it should be on a mutual agreement not You Must Pay Half and I pay Half thingy✌️."
toiyoabasi1:
"That's Kiekie's home. The other is Peggy's home. Simple. Let us all do what works for us."
modellah:
"A real man won't let you lift a finger. You know a man is doing well when you see his wife. He won't let you share shi. The minute you give a man that leg that's the end. There are other ways to support please.
"How will I pay rent just so I can be able to tell you to leave my house? Am I settling down with you with hopes that there'd be a “leave my house” in the future??? Why then did I leave my parents house to marry you???"
dumi_deee:
"A man that’s is man enough will not even share rent with you, yes! You can contribute to other things,but not sharing of rent/ school fee… except you are earning more than your husband…"
9jawoman:
"Point blank period! My man won’t even let me pay shi not to talk of splitting bills. She earns more obviously."
Couples need to discuss and decide what works for them
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng's Chinasa, Nike Folagbade, a popular online family life coach and marriage counsellor, said financial responsibilities in marriage depend on the agreement between both parties involved.
"Every marriage is unique, and it is important for couples to discuss and decide on what works for them. There are different kinds of finance-sharing ratios that couples can follow: sharing by percentage, sharing by higher income level, sharing by roles, and then complete handling by one.
"Some couples prefer that the man takes major bills while the woman handles food and home affairs; whatever they choose is fine. As long as there is agreement, results, and progress for their marriage."
