Njoki Chege Musings, What me thinks.

Am an avid newspaper reader ,especially the weekend editions, I spend a greater percentage of my time in the library reading the latest copy, but I digress, in the Saturday Nation, a guy seeking to divorce his wife petitioned the wife to pay him for the dowry he had paid when they were getting married. The court acted in his favor, and asked the wife to pay him half the amount, plus interest.
I'm totally not in support of this,  I mean the minute we divorce I pay you back dowry? Was I an investment plan?? Njoki of course had a lot to say about this, and for once I agreed with her, partly,
The part that really got to me was when she 'outlined' what your husband should do for you, and, wait for it, drumrolls.... pay your rent, buy you a house, a car and service it, pay your Masters degree, give you money to send to your mother (LOL!! DGD!! GOR!!), give you money to buy dresses and shoes, create an emergency fund for you, and the list goes on and on..
The main question I had was is this guy your husband or father or money machine?? that list really baffled me, and I asked myself am I the one underestimating our men or is she expecting too much??
I honestly do not expect my guy to be catering for all my expenses, whether husband or boyfriend. why then will I be working?? to spend all my money on manicures and pedicures and spa treatments?? Buy me a dress once in a while not daily, fuel my car when you use it, and don't pay for my masters, am the one studying, not you. as for sending my mum money, only I can do that, thank you.

To the guys, what will you do in terms of buying and spending for your wives and girlfriends??
To the ladies, am I expecting too little?
