Dear Mapaseka My husband refuses to share his payslip with me; he says there is no need for us to know each others earnings. But he already has a sense of how much i make because i do not hide my finances from him And tell him what I am able to do and what I can't afford. We have 2 kids both under 5 years old; i am trying To plan their schooling from primary to high school so I can get a sense of what the costs are. I ask him what his ideal school fees budget is for the kids, he does not give me a clear answer. I would like for us to move to a 5 bedroom house, we currently live in a 3 bedroom apartment. He says he can't afford it for now. He just bought himself a range rover without consulting me and i wondered how he could afford that car and yet can't afford a new home. He said it is a second hand buy. He books first class tickets for flights when we travel as a family, he pays for the bond, pays for medical aid, We share the costs for groceries and the kids' creche fees. He gives money to his mom and pays for his Brother’s tertiary fees. When i demanded once again to know his salary he says i want to police him and Manage the money he shares with his family. Ausi Mapaseka; is it not my right as a wife to have a say In all of this? Should i not have a say in how much he sends home and how much he is planning for our Future? At this point I want to go through his laptop and phone and find out all this information myself. We have been married for 2 years and dating for 6 years. When we were dating i did not mind not knowing But now that we are married I think it's only fair. Is it not? SEND US YOUR LETTER TO MAPASEKARADIO2000@GMAIL.COM

Dear Mapaseka, I found out that my husband of 4 years is attracted to both men and women. This was a complete shock to me as never have i ever suspected that he had Such feelings. I found this out from my niece who is in her early 20’s who attended A club event where she saw him holding and kissing another man. In all our years together he has never expressed this or having dated men Previously. He has another child before we met and is very close to his male friends And they go on boys trips together twice a year. We have a 2 year old and another One on the way. I confronted him and asked what this means for our marriage, He apologised and said it meant nothing and that he loves me and loves our life. He confessed that he is bisexual and never thought he needed to mention it. He has asked for forgiveness and I'm currently at my mother’s house. Can this marriage be saved? Will he be able to be truly happy with me? He says yes and i have my doubts. My family says I should leave the marriage; I am saddened that My husband has cheated on me whether it's a man or a woman. If i forgive him will he take it as permission to keep seeing men?

Dear Mapaseka I am the most depressed man on earth , my baby mama and I broke up ,simply because she wants to control everything in our relationship. She gave birth to our premature child early in the year. Things became worse. She doesn't want my family to be in contact with the child. When I ask her why she doesn't say. She doesn't want me giving my child a name, she says it's her and her family who have the right to do so. I am in my early thirties and she is in her twenties, she also blames me for getting her pregnant, she wanted to abort the child when she found out she was pregnant and I fought with her not to do it. This matter even involved social workers and our families till she changed her mind. Now she behaves like she loves the child more than me. The only thing she wants is the money to support the child. I bought everything for the child. She is not working and never contributed anything even her family. She said I should send her R4500 every month for the child and it's not a problem for me, next thing men will be blamed for not supporting their children because I feel sidelined. I even doubt now if this is my child. This is another factor why we man stop supporting our children and run How should I deal with this? NATHI  SEND US YOUR LETTER TO MAPASEKARADIO2000@GMAIL.COM
