I am 29 years old and I have three kids. My husband always shouts at me that l am not educated and lazy whenever I ask for some money to use for the family. It gets to me a lot that I don’t work and I am reliant on him. What can I do to make him see me as a human being and respect me? – Frustrated
Dear Frustrated
At 29 you are still young enough to start some studies towards a career my sister. Respect can only be earned. I am not saying your husband is right by not respecting you. You are a great woman who has brought life into this world and he needs to respect you for being a loving mother to your children. But if he believes you need to be educated in order to gain his respect, why not give yourself a challenge to prove to him that you are worth that respect.
You need to do it for your own sake as well. Find a career to pursue and be a woman who helps her husband financially. Continuing to rely on him for everything for the rest of your life will be frustrating for you both. So do this for yourself as well. – Aunty Lisa
