It's no longer surprising for women to have the desire to earn money and build a career, although staying under the care of a husband is still considered a norm in our country, and sometimes the most common format of relationships.

At any time, there may come a moment when one partner becomes dependent on the other due to temporary job loss or maternity leave.

During such a period, the financial situation in the couple can go in different directions:

1️⃣ Neither partner makes any unnecessary demands and assures each other that they don't mind being the sole provider for the family.

However, over time, the need to constantly ask for money starts to stress one of the partners. Financial decisions typically fall on the one who earns, meaning that every purchase or expense has to be discussed and approved by the earner.

When one of the partners finds themselves in the role of a beggar, it can eventually trigger anger, constant feelings of inadequacy, and inability to meet their own needs. And it doesn't matter that the other initially offered to work for two. The bottom line is that financial dependence on a partner can ruin your relationship.

2️⃣ One of the partners may use their financial power against the other.

Money is power. Very quickly, a moment may come when one partner has to submit to the will of the other not because they want to but because they have to.

It's especially important to be cautious when a man insists that his wife not work. This is a direct path to constant control and manipulation.

3️⃣ "Wife - homemaker, husband - provider." Such a format of family relationships has a very negative impact on the wife's future career and on the couple's relationship.

Therefore, relying on only one person to earn money is a big risk. It's a double responsibility, and over time, it can begin to stress both partners. In addition, the loss of financial independence affects the person's self-esteem.
