Why is it that some rich women don't want to get married? Is it pride or something else?
Hello guys, In today's episode of Zazzetti, we'll discuss some reasons why some rich Nigerian women think being a wife is not necessary in their lives. Why is it that the more money a woman has in the bank, the less likely she is to feel she needs a man?
Let's dive into the talk:
1. Wealthy Women Don’t Play the Submission Game
Many women have prioritized earning more money over learning how to show respect for men. Sincerely speaking, this can really make being in a last relationship difficult for them. A man with a fragile ego often misinterprets a wealthy woman’s confidence and independence. Her financial success feels like a threat, and instead of confronting his insecurity, he may respond by trying to regain control through emotional manipulation.
2. Her Money, His Insecurity
When some men see money, they see control. They believe it'll be difficult to remove a woman out of her own house if they both live in the house. Many African men aren’t socialized to engage with financially empowered women.
A woman's wealth can feel like a challenge to deeply rooted beliefs about traditional gender roles and marriage. When financial power is shared equally, it disrupts the old dynamic—shifting control and forcing a redefinition of masculinity and partnership.
3. Men can be Gold Diggers Too
Yes, when some men see a rich woman, they will want to take advantage of her by manipulating her feelings to get her riches and luxuries and have access to her bank account. In another sense of how some men can be gold diggers is that they might not show up with a crowd at dinner, but they’ll 'borrow' your car and total it, or turn your living room couch into a long-term crash pad—sometimes for months.
4. When Men Hold the Money, Relationships Lose Balance
In order to maintain that ground of a provider in marriage, some men take things women can’t put a price on—like their decision-making power and their mental health. Some men believe that without her own money, their wife often has no real security outside of marriage.
So, what do you think about this situation? But for me, I believe this is happening in many Nigerian homes, because many Nigerian families believe hiring a caregiver is the equivalent of Jezebel. Meanwhile, career women actually need help at home.
Spending a lifetime running a household alone doesn’t seem attractive to many women—especially to rich ones. So what's your thought about this? Don't hesitate to share your opinions in the comment section.
