"My main source of income is my marriage. My husband rarely asks me to pay bills, and even when I do, he asks me to note the amount so that he can pay it back. In fact, I have a book where I keep track of the money he owes me."
Her sentiments caused mixed reactions online; some people thought that she was among the few who have responsible and doting men.
Others thought this promoted laziness amongst the young people who might expect the same treatment from their spouses who are still struggling to make ends meet.
