Guys, Is Your Wife Clueless?
By Gina D.
Back in the day, women were reared to be totally passive and dependent on their husbands. Their primary responsibilities were to be stay at home wives, have babies, cook and maintain a clean home. Now men, please don't start getting all bent out of shape by what Im about to say. I'm not saying this in a negative way...So here I go....Of course alot of men felt they were more of a man because, they were the main provider for all of their wife's and families needs. Thats all good, we really appreciate you for that. But alot of wives were totally dependent on them for everything. The husband made the money, paid all the bills and pretty much controlled whatever happened in their homes. The wife couldn't or wouldn't make a move without asking their husband what they should do. The wives now appeared to be totally helpless...It seemed like the husbands picked up where the daddys left off, taking care of their little girls..... Now here's the problem....What if all of a sudden something happens to her husband where he is unable to work or heaven forbid, he dies. Now you have a helpless wife with no prior work experience, who doesn't even know how to write a check, let alone pay a bill. She doesn't even know how much money they have in their bank account. Thats something she has never had to worry about, because her loving husband always took care of everything. I am in the banking industry, and trust me, I see this sort of thing more often than I would like. It breaks my heart to see these women crying because she doesnt have a clue as to what to do next, since her loving husband handled everything, and now the burden has fallen on her. So men, its okay to be the man of the house and the main provider. But make sure your wife understands what her role is in the event something should happen to you. Dont leave her stuck out and totally helpless because she doesn't have a clue as to what to do if something should happen to her loving husband. That would be you........ Now she has to depend on total strangers to help her thru this trying ordeal.. And unfortunately she may run into the wrong person who may or may not have your wife's best interest at heart. A simple discussion with your wife could avoid any unnecessary pain and confusion on her part.....

Gentlemen, I've said what I've said, with no disrespect to you. I just ask that you look ahead and include your wife in things that may affect her in the future in case something should happen to you.

A man with a clueless wife has no one to blame but himself. It is his responsibility to clue her in and make sure she is prepared for as many eventualities as possible. GrumpyOldTrucker
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Im in total agreement with you. I believe that a wife should make it her business to know how to handle things if something happened to her husband.
It is absolutely tragic when the situation you warn against happens. I agree that husbands should make sure wives know everything that's going on with the family finances. I also think women should take it upon themselves to find out, even if your husband doesn't make it a point to share-it's your life, and you shouldn't be so passive as to do nothing to inform yourself about your own financial life. Some men are threatened by women, and women in abusive relationships are often purposely kept in the dark. In those cases, such women need to do the best they can to separate their lives from their troubled mates, including financially, but of course that's easier said than done. The longer you put it off, however, the harder it's likely to be. Knowledge is power-don't put off acquiring it.
Saw it happen with my Great-Aunt - she signed her home over to someone who was less than ethical and had a track record of getting deeds from widows in the guise of being their spiritual adviser after the loss of their husbands.
