How does it feel?

Mr. Brown works outside the country and visits during the holidays. He sends money every month for the upkeep of his family as well as extended family. His wife is employed and also earns a good salary.

They communicate almost on a daily basis and he trusts that his wife would be faithful enough to fulfill what they would have agreed upon. She normally buys groceries for her mother in-law who stays in the rural areas and he is the only child.

Mrs. Brown loves competing and takes advantage of the fact that her husband is not around and sends groceries once in three months. She loves to compete with colleagues and makes it a point that every month she has to buy something new so that she can boast. Her children come second as she is concerned about spending lavishly at her workplace.

She spends so much to an extent that she forgets about her mother in –law who lives alone in the rural home. Whenever the mother in-law pays a visit, she will be disappointed because she has to buy groceries for her on her way back home.

Is this fair treatment to the husband who works tirelessly to meet the needs of his family?

What advice would you give to a man facing such a situation in marriage?
