Please don't
It's a manipulative set-up
There is no job in the country or anywhere, especially as you're being paid well
I've experienced this before...
You'll become the most stupid and useless from the most respectable and presentable

Stand strong and don't dare
Tell them time will come
A girlfriend is not a wife, and even so some wives are not to be trusted talk more of girlfriend
She isn't yours yet, she is in university, what does she know?
Only sex and money as it seems
Don't brother

Family is over rated.My dad told me not to study computer that I should study economics or geography. I told him I want to study computer and he said if that is my choice,I will train myself in school.I still went and studied computer and it is what I used to train my younger ones and assit them.The world now revolves round computer.If you follow what your mother says.You will SUFFER.I repeat, you will SUFFER.is she breastfeeding you that she wants you to quit your job and come and stay home with her?For what na?
You are a man and I appreciate all the effort and sacrifice you put in taking care of your family and your work.Did I mention anything about your girlfriend?CAPITAL NO!!!She is TOTALLY IRRELEVANT as she is a DESTINY DESTROYER.A wife material will look for ways to bring family together and not scatter the family.Her agenda is now your family agenda for you to quit your job.DONT YOU EVER QUIT YOUR JOB O.Your family will rain insults on you and your life when you cannot provide for them.I am speaking from experience when I was assisting a family member and I stopped providing for them.They dragged me up and down reported me to different person that I REFUSE TO help them but will help others.Put everything in prayers and focus on your work and promotion.She is not your wife to make such life changing decisions for you.
I also like the suggestion of getting 1 month leave and telling then you were sacked.This time you dont have a dime to provide for them as you dont have a job.You will see their TRUE COLOURS.You will be the one asking them to support you financially.
Humans are ungrateful creatures even if you are their sole helpers,they will still bring you down so all of una go suffer.Your girlfriend is not a wife material but someone you need to dump and avoid at all cost.Your life depends on the choices and decisions you make sir.Keep up the good work of doing your best to provide for your family and other ungrateful elements

Good day great people of nairaland. I'll make this as short as possible and forgive my typo errors.
I've been working in this construction firm for the past five years together with taking care of my family and my girlfriend who has been in school but due to ASUU strike, now at home.
I'm usually busy and spend less time at home except on weekends - Sundays.
Recently, my girlfriend has been talking me into changing the nature of my work to another job that will afford me the opportunity to give more time to my family and her. I insisted that I'll need more time to be able to find another job but she will not have it that way.
Seems to spoke to my mother about it and it's now hell in the home with my mother threatening she will kill herself if I don't quit the job. This job is something I have used in completing my house and paying the fees of my girlfriend.
Lest I forget, I got the hint that my manager is considering me for a promotion and my quitting the job might just spell doom on me!

I'll appreciate all your suggestions, advice and criticism. I'm really in a fix!

Is like you don't know what it means to be penniless. In this regime, you'll go penniless if you don't use your head.

Ask that your girlfriend to go naked or with Bible or Quran or Ogun to swear that since you started dating and sponsoring her, she has never slept with another man.
Then come back to make decision on the stupid thing they are telling you.

Women have ruined a lot of great men since the days of Adam and Eve. It doesn't matter if it's a mother, wife or daughter, THEY ARE MOSTLY ALL THE SAME.

If I were you, I'll ask them to give me 3 months to prepare and look for another job and within the 3 months, I WON'T GIVE THEM A KOBO.

I'm very sure that this will reset their brain and leave you to be at peace with your job.

My brother, it's not sustainable to have a family where you are less available. True, your 'girlfriend' (I hate that word, would prefer of she was your fiancee) may be melodramatic, and irrational in the way she's presenting it but she's right. A woman's first need isn't money, but attention. You can't give her that much if you aren't always around or you risk someone else filling that void if you know what I mean.

About your job, now isn't the time to quit. Come up with a plan. Talk to her about it. You guys need a plan but that plan must include you being at home much more than you are. Believe me, nothing makes a marriage boring than absence. You need to be more available. I am married and I have been in your shoes. It's not easy bro.

Can you talk to your boss about more time? You seem to be very good at your job so you have a good rapport with your bosses. Every good man would understand family. Can they give you more time and probably increase your workload on the days you are around? Even your children will need you. Eventually my brother, you will leave that job, but if you have lost your family before you leave the job to either something better or your business, you will be miserable. Family is everything bro. I'm not saying this because of your 'girlfriend' o because I really am not sure about her but this is reality. We have too many issues in this world because of dysfunctional families and it starts with the father not always being around because of work. God didn't create you for work alone. I'm not saying you shouldn't work o. But may God give you wisdom sir.

So your girlfriend wants you to quit your job? Lol some girls can be very funny, this same girl will even ditch you when you finally leave that job.

Do you know how hard it is to get a job in this present Nigeria,and besides you have already built a strong relationship with your boss at your work place please don't try such

mumu man. You dey follow woman talk. The same gf would leave you when you loose that job or leave for another one. Find something for her to keep her occupied, she has enough time in her hands.

Please QUIT!!!
But six months before you do, stop financing your mum and girlfriend not even a dime and watch their reactions, comments about your new attitude ... Any lesson you will learn in this period is the reality of what becomes of you if you consider their advice.....

My brother, let her kill herself.

Don't let anybody blackmail you.

Or rather, tell them to give you another job that pays more.

They are showing you all this care because you have money, when you don't, they will not respect you and one thing about women is that, at the end of the day, they will blame you for heeding to their own advice.

You are paying your girlfriend school fees? Una no dey always learn.

Best of Luck!

Baba no even think am na your life first before anybody job no Dey outside except you want to start pos business
