Guys...answer this for me...?

sounds like you've got an honest man...its hard for a male to accept the fact that they cant support the ones they love...its bred into us that we must take care of our family and we take pride in that fact...when we fail its hard to accept it and we will (the ones that are worth a damn) fight the good fight and do whatever it takes to make our loved ones comfortable. My advice just accept it and be learn to be more subtle when you offer your help....Pay a little on your bills halfway through the month online if possible....slip a few dollars into his pants after they come out of the wash....Dont confront him and tell him he needs your help because more than likely he wont accept it....a little help is ok as long as he doesnt have to ask for it just dont broadcast it when you do it....

I went through a rough patch one time and never knew how close I was to having serious money problems...my girlfriend at the time did the things ive listed above....but she never told me about it untill after...and not in a "in your face" way...it just naturally came out in a conversation years after the situation had changed and I loved her for it because she knew I couldnt accept charity

Hope this helps...it saved my relationship and helped avoid some serious problems for myself and the ones I love without causing any further hardship on either of our part.

Same reason we guys NEVER ask for directions! It implies we can't do it on our own.

Getting money from your woman is like taking money from your momma...its embarrassing! A man needs to feel like a man, not a failure at providing.

It's a tough time for him. He's trying to do the right thing. There's a lot of slugs out there that would love to have anyone pay their way while they sit watching sports.

Be glad you got a real male...with some pride.

Come on, Crystal, I think you know the answer to that. Men are a proud species and believe they should provide for their women. By taking away their ability to provide, they feel useless and ashamed. Don't offer him money - he knows where to go if he needs it. Let him figure out a way to make money himself and support you both, because that's his goal in life. Taking it away will make him depressed.

He is probably not asking you because he probably doesn't want to make you feel like he is bumming off of you.....making you feel like you are doing all the work providing and not him. So he is working hard all the time beacause he probably feels that is would be more fair, instead of one person working all the time. You should tell him that he doesn't need to work that as much as he needs to and that what he is doing is bothering you. Communicate!

It's man's nature and pride, specially the married one. The regular rules for the instinct of a man are, between others, to protect and to provide, so it's very hard to ask for money, you have to meke him understand you guys are a marriage.

Pride and an ingrained feeling that he should be supporting you, at least financially. It's part of a guy's genetic code. Sorry. I think it goes back to the Caveman days.

Pride. Plain and simple. Men in general are to proud to ask their girl for money, we feel we should be the providers in the relationship. Not saying it is right but thats how it is.

Usually the men don't like to take money from any woman.

It is a bad habit to take money from women from my point of view, that why I am a man.

Because he probably was raised under the concept that the man is the man and should be the one who provides and asking you ofr money is probably a big blow to his ego or he wants the money that you earn to be your money and for you to use it and spend it.

it's just "some" guys want 2b known as the MAN of the house.

maybe, he wants 2 feel like he can provide 4 u!

as long as he's not over working himself,

let em b!!!!!!
