She cautioned women against marrying men they are “obviously supporting,” saying that such relationships may be challenged in the long run, even if they try to hide the truth.

Women shouldn’t ignore financial imbalance in a relationship or assume that hiding their partner’s dependence will lead to a successful marriage, according to Nkechi Blessing.

And don’t ever think that marrying a man that you’re obviously feeding will last, no matter how much you try to cover it up,” she said.

Her comment has drawn mixed reactions from social media users, with some agreeing that financial responsibility and independence can play an important role in maintaining a healthy partnership, while others argued that couples should be allowed to support each other in difficult seasons.
