My wife earns more than me in our family and it is creating problems. She no longer respects me and thinks she can do anything without discussing with me first. She accuses me of being jealous each time I confront her. Do you think I am being jealous? – Farai
Dear Farai
Respect should not come with conditions such as who is the bread-winner. Your wife is wrong in not respecting you and seeing you as not equal just because you earn less. You are definitely not jealous. What I see is someone whose pride has been hurt by not being appreciated and you have every right to communicate that to your wife without succumbing to false accusations. You need to sit down and discuss this matter with your wife. – Aunty Lisa
