Sanyuka TV presenter Haffy Powers has sparked a heated debate online after advising women to leave relationships when a man loses his financial stability.
The media personality made the remarks during a live discussion on Sanyuka TV alongside fellow presenter Sandra Lian, where they discussed relationships, marriage, and the impact of financial struggles on couples.
Haffy argued that many relationships face serious challenges when a man who was previously financially stable becomes broke.
She advised women to recognize when situations change and make difficult decisions instead of remaining in relationships that may no longer work.
According to Haffy, financial problems can create serious pressure in marriages, especially when a man is no longer able to provide the lifestyle or support he once offered.
“I have always told my friends and my audience that when a man who once had money becomes broke, that marriage rarely lasts. Women should know when it’s time to leave,” Haffy reportedly said.
She suggested that women should pay attention to such situations and avoid staying in relationships that have become difficult because of financial struggles.
Her comments quickly attracted attention on social media, with many people sharing different opinions about whether money should determine the future of a relationship.
Some social media users agreed with Haffy, arguing that financial challenges can create stress, disagreements, and emotional struggles between couples.
Others, however, criticized the advice, saying that true commitment requires partners to support each other during both successful and difficult moments.
During the discussion, Sandra Lian also shared her views, saying that financial hardship can affect a man’s confidence and his role within a family.
Sandra explained that when a man feels unable to provide, it can sometimes affect his self-esteem and create tension in a relationship.
“When a man has nothing to put on the table, he starts feeling insecure. It becomes difficult for him to lead because he feels he has nothing to offer,” Sandra said.
The two presenters argued that financial pressure is one of the major issues that can test relationships and marriages.
Their comments have opened a wider conversation about love, money, and expectations between partners.
Many people online questioned whether relationships should be based mainly on financial ability or whether couples should remain together while working through challenges.
Others pointed out that people can experience temporary financial difficulties due to job loss, business failure, or unexpected circumstances.
Relationship experts and commentators often note that money is one of the common causes of disagreements among couples, but communication and shared commitment also play an important role.
The debate around Haffy’s comments continues as Ugandans discuss the balance between financial security and emotional loyalty in relationships.
While some believe leaving a struggling partner is a practical decision, others argue that abandoning someone during hardship goes against the values of partnership.
Haffy Powers’ remarks have therefore reignited a long-running debate about whether love can survive when money disappears.
As reactions continue, the discussion highlights the different expectations people have about relationships, marriage, and the responsibilities of partners during difficult times.
