Dear Mapaseka

I started dating this lady in 2021 whilst she was working temporarily as a nurse during the covid
years. Her contract came to an end and she moved in with me in 2022.
In 2023 we got married and she was blessed with a permanent job.Then came the problem;
she refused to discuss any financial decisions with me as her husband.
I am working as a security guard and she is a nurse. I always do my best in ensuring that I
communicate with her when it comes to my finances and other aspects. She in return says we
must each control our own finances and all decisions pertaining to money should be separate.
This has been killing me inside; to be in a relationship where you are not valued as a partner.
What can I do to resolve this problem; can it be resolved?
