Anytime there’s an argument between me and my husband, he makes statements like, “What sense do you have in your head to tell me what to do?”
If I suggest something for him to do, he asks me the same question, so we live in a house where my opinions are trampled upon and no respect is given to them. I’ve talked about it—that even if he wouldn’t take my opinion, he should stop making that statement.

He never stopped. Every now and then, he says it and later gives a lame apology.
He was shipping a car from Canada, one of those accident cars. He saw the seller on TikTok and expressed interest in buying it. When he told me, I asked him, “Why buy an accident car when you can buy an accident-free one?”
He told me I didn’t know what I was talking about and that those cars are cheap and easy to repair. I asked about the risk of sending money to someone he doesn’t know, and he said it’s the person’s business and that they wouldn’t run away with the money.
In the end, the car arrived. What he saw wasn’t what he got. The car that arrived didn’t even have an engine in it. He called the seller, but he no longer picked up. When he started working on the car, I warned him to cut his losses. Again, he asked what sense I had in my head.
He’s wasted all his money, but the car is still at the workshop. He now wants me to take up the financial burden of the house for the meantime because he has no money. Me, who has no sense in my head. I said, “No, I have no money in my account. What sense am I going to use to save money?”
Come and see how he’s suffering. Whatever he earns, he spends. He owes people and owes his office, but I still take care of housekeeping money and pay the kids’ fees and school feeding fees. I also contribute to utilities because when the lights go off and water doesn’t flow, we all suffer.
He says I’m not a supportive wife. He questions what I use my money for. He says I’ve failed in my duties as a wife.
It’s Not God’s Law For A Man To Apologize To A Woman
Sometimes, men think support is only money. A woman’s intuition is a very big support system. There’s a reason God gave us this much intuition. Maybe that’s all God wants us to do, to support with our intuition. But my husband never listened to a word I said, and he still doesn’t listen because, after all, what sense do I have?

I guess you saw this red flag before marrying him
men of his calibre are very difficult to build a family with
u better be smart with your money if he doesn’t heed to ur advice
Like the saying goes; A husband who doesn’t take advice from his wife is a fool but the husband who only takes advice from his wife is a bigger fool. Balance is very important.
You need to get him to listen. By now he knows that but his ego is obscuring his sight. Get your pastor or a person he respects to talk to him, to reset. If you don’t he will resent you for being right and harder his heart even more. Once you have decided on the long haul and children are involved, you need him on your side.
