Social media influencer, Jay Monday, has given his opinion on whether or not it is wrong for side chicks or girlfriends to ask for money.
Discussing this topic on eTV Ghana’s Men’s Lounge with host, Nana Yaw Odame, he opined that money is very important in every relationship and as a matter of fact, all the credit is given to love, however, in actuality, money plays all the roles in a relationship and not love.
Back to the topic, Jay noted that it is not wrong for a woman to ask for money from her man because providing happens to be the man’s responsibility. However, he observed that men are gradually losing their responsibilities because most present day women are fighting for equality, wanting to be on the same level as men.
Nevertheless, he posited that in a way, a man is still obliged to give a woman money when he is with her though “it shouldn’t be all the time”, he said.
Jay explained that, “When you start dating, you take some part of her responsibilities because now she’s making time for you. Previously, she could have been doing businesses but now that she’s with you, she takes some time out of her business hours to spend with you so in a way, you’re obliged to give her money”.
He commented that even though some women are trying to change the setting, it is still a man’s responsibility to take care of a woman and he is obliged to provide, therefore a woman has every right to ask her man for money because at the end of the day, he is still the breadwinner and the head.
