My Husband Said I Should Quit My Job. What Should I Do? by Segzee1(m): 2:06pm On Feb 09, 2018
Help! My husband said I should quit my job. What should I do?

Hi readers, below is a story sent to Matters of the heart on dailyfamily.ng for publication and advice by Mrs. Joy (not real name). She got married two years ago, and now, she is currently in a tight corner as her husband asked her to choose between her career and her marriage, please advise her on what to do.

Hello,

Is this how marriage is? I got married two years ago, we are blessed with a boy. At first, our marriage seems to be a heaven on earth but now it is a duplicate of hell.

My husband has vowed not to allow peace in the house until I resign from my job, he said he does not want me to work anymore that I should stay at home and be taking care of our child.

Since this issue started our house has become a battlefield. Now he has given me two months to decide on which one to take, my job or my marriage.

I love my banking job and at the same time, I don't want to lose my home.

Please, what should I do? Help, I am confused!

Joy, PH

Hope it's not marketing in a bank?

Anyways if he met you working or never discussed you being a full time housewife prior to marriage then he does not have any right to tell you to stop.

Regardless, any man that gives you that kind of deadline when he know it makes you happy is possessive and not mature. He sees you as a possession and not a partner. Obey it now n forever be his possession, call his bluff n he either adjusts or leaves.

It's 2018, wake up!

My Sister as Yoruba will say Oko lolowo ori aya, It means your husband is your head.

I won't say leave your marriage but if you no wan suffer after quitting your job. Tell your husband to make a legal agreement with you that he will pay you equivalent your current salary every month without fail.

I say make I borrow you that hint. smiley smiley smiley smiley Love from a fellow good sister

I actually don't know ur purpose for working so I won't be too fast to support you. You may not have been doing d job to support ur hubby. It may be for your own selfish interest as career lady stuffs blabla. However if you've been doing ur work for the right purpose before now, then tell your hubby to open up a shop for you with a shop boy. Just to create a second means of income bcus relying on his salary alone is not wise. And when you're bored, you'll just drive to ur shop and catch some fun

You've been working for two years and suddenly he wants you to quit your job...

And we all know how notorious the banking industry is when it comes to women...

Your husband has become uncomfortable with your job because he feels the marriage is being threatened by it. Probably some wolves have started disturbing you and he doesn't want to hear you were devoured by any of them.

Quit your job and find something else to do. If you want to retain your job so badly them find a way to reassure him that nothing will happen and you won't be devoured.

Please tell us the real reason he wants you to quit your job. I am confident what you put up there is not the main reason.

Do you work late?
Do you travel within a short notice?
Do you take "work" calls at odd hours?
Do you have a male colleague that has turned to your best friend?
Is your nanny turning to the mother of your child and all you do is check if he is sleep or has eaten?

I know there are other more serious reasons that will make a man that is loving suddenly ask you to quit your job and stay home with your child. Please tell us the real reason
