A social media user confessed that after 12 years of marriage, they did not know what their husband earned as a bus driver.

On TikTok, the well-known user of the app Lifereset with Boni (@lifereset_za) shared a comment from someone known as @user7010706132992, who shared the following comment under one of her videos:

"My husband is a bus driver. I've never seen his payslip in 12 years of marriage."

Boni, who often shares payslips from different fields, shared that it would be difficult to guess how much the woman's husband would earn without seeing the payslip.

She added:

"Bus services operate differently. They are operated by different operators. So, knowing how much bus drivers earn will not be easy. Maybe you can DM [direct message] and tell me which company he works for."

Online users divided over payslip secrecy

People in Boni's comment section were split on the man's decision not to disclose his salary to his partner.

@godfreygil wrote in the comments:

"As long as he is putting food on the table, what does she want with the payslip?"

@thee_ankel joked with online users:

"Women shouldn’t see our payslips. We leave it at work."

@temabeautyproducts thought differently:

"The way I’m financially transparent, I don’t think I can cope with someone who’s not."

Sharing their honesty, @user3557303475622897 said:

"I would have walked away from the relationship long ago."
