Sheggz believes that asking women to share the bill is disrespectful.
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Sheggz, recently stirred up a conversation about relationship dynamics and financial responsibility. In an episode of the Bants and Boujee podcast, he expressed his strong opinion against splitting bills with a romantic partner.
Sheggz emphasized that he sees it as a man’s duty to take care of all financial needs in a relationship. He believes that a woman’s money should remain hers to spend as she pleases, while his income is meant to cover expenses for both of them.
This perspective stems from Sheggz’s traditional values and his belief that men are wired to provide. He acknowledges that his girlfriend works hard and is successful, but he still considers it his responsibility to ensure her financial needs are met.
However, Sheggz clarified that he doesn’t expect his partner to contribute nothing. He mentioned an 80/20 split, where he covers the majority of the expenses and his girlfriend contributes a smaller percentage. This, he feels, is a fair balance that allows her to occasionally treat herself without feeling guilty.
Sheggz’s comments have sparked debate on social media, with some agreeing with his traditional views and others advocating for a more equal approach to financial responsibility in relationships. Regardless of differing opinions, his perspective sheds light on the ongoing discussion about gender roles and expectations in modern relationships.
