‘Why Many Men See Successful Women As Threat In Marriage’ -Relationship Expert, Blessing CEO Explains
Self-acclaimed relationship expert, Blessing Okoro, better known as Blessing CEO, has explained why some men view successful women as a threat to their marriages.
According to the controversial social media personality, many women complain that their husbands feel insecure once they begin to succeed.
Speaking during an interview, the mother of two who recently got engaged, said the issue is not that men fear a woman’s success, but rather the change in attitude that often accompanies it.
She said that success can cause women to develop attitudes that society typically associates with men, such as authority and control.
Blessing further said once a woman starts to provide, she may naturally begin to compete with her husband, even without being aware of it.
The businesswoman advised women who earn more than their husbands to remain soft and still act like a wife. In her words:
“No man is intimidated by your success. They are only afraid of the masculinity that comes with success. Because when a woman starts to make money on her own, she automatically becomes a man.
Once you can provide, you automatically become a man. You will see yourself subconsciously dragging might. Because at the end of the day, what makes a man powerful is the ability to provide. That is what gives him that mantle.
So I always tell women, no matter how much you have, just remember to be soft. Remember that you are a woman. Because once you start to show your husband that might saying, “Oh, my salary is bigger” he will do everything. Either he starts to cheat and look for a woman that is softer, or he leaves the marriage.”
