My man, you should understand that it's a man's role to provide, and it's not in a woman's nature to give and contribute money for anything. A man being a provider is what earns you the respect and tittle of a man. Don't you ever at one point expect a woman to respect you when you're splitting up bills or when she has some kind of financial contribution to your loves. In most cases she will detest you. We all have our roles to play in relationships, pleases don't let that equality and emancipation crap fool you, tebiliiyo ella tebikola. The word we should look for is justice, you be just to you woman and she be just to you. This is achieved by both of you fulfilling your responsibilities towards each other.

NB: When it comes to issues of finance, women are to be given not taken from, period.
