What do you think-should traditional roles still matter in modern relationships? Is it insecurity, ambition, or something deeper that drives their conflict? Share your thoughts below and join the conversation. Let’s talk about what it truly takes to balance love and success!
My wife earns more than I do, and I couldn’t be prouder of her. I help around the house because we’re a team, not because I’m 'helping her.' It’s OUR home.
This is such a refreshing perspective! Thank you for being an example of a supportive partner. More people need to see marriage as a partnership, not a hierarchy.
I think the problem isn’t about money but about ego and insecurity. Some men feel less of a man if they’re not the sole breadwinner. We need to normalize supporting each other, regardless of who earns more.
Exactly! It’s about sharing responsibilities. It doesn’t matter who earns more; if both partners pitch in, the home will thrive. Traditional roles need to evolve.
Why do some people still think women are meant for the kitchen? What about women who contribute 100% of their salaries to the running of the household? Why should they also be the only ones responsible for the housework? This mindset has to stop.
I’m a woman who works full-time, and I still have to manage the house entirely by myself. My husband says housework is a 'woman’s job.' Honestly, it’s exhausting.
I feel for you. It’s unfair and outdated to think housework is only for women, especially when you’re contributing financially. It’s time for these gendered expectations to change.
What’s wrong with a man cooking or cleaning if his wife is busy? It doesn’t make him any less of a man-it just makes him a good partner. Everyone wins when the work is shared.
I grew up seeing my mom work full-time, handle the house, and raise kids. It’s not sustainable or fair. Men need to step up and share the load-it’s not just a woman’s responsibility.
True! Women already do so much, and it’s time to break that cycle. A home runs better when both partners work as a team and appreciate each other’s efforts.
This men should only work, women should only cook' mindset is so outdated. We live in a world where both partners often work. Why should one person carry the household burden alone?
Exactly! Times have changed, and relationships should reflect that. Sharing household duties isn’t about gender-it’s about being considerate and supportive.
Yes, there’s definitely more to Ngozi and Emeka’s story! Part 2 is in the works, and it will dive deeper into their journey as they navigate love, pride, and reconciliation. Stay tuned-it’s coming soon!
Thank you for sharing your perspective! The intention of the story isn’t to blame success or women for challenges in relationships but to explore how societal expectations and insecurities can create tension. It’s more about reflecting on how communication and shared understanding are key to overcoming these struggles.

Love is a team work. Support each other no matter what. Always resolve issues between yourselves. Don't let others into your matrimonial issues.

100% agree. It’s not about money-it’s about love and respect. A strong relationship thrives on mutual support, not outdated ideas of masculinity.
If I make more than you, the least you can do is to help around the house. Marriage is a teamwork, not a competition.

Preach! Women who work and contribute financially deserve support at home too. It’s not about gender-it’s about fairness and respect in a partnership.

Spot on! There’s nothing weak about a man who takes care of his home. Real strength is being secure enough to support your partner however they need.

Nah! This story is trying to put most of the blame on a woman being a sucess
