My husband and I were fresh graduates when we got married, but because I had a strong business which I had been running before graduation and he was yet to find a job, by default we decided to base in my school state. Fast forward 2years later, we now have a child, my business has flourished and my husband too now has the blessing of a job where he can work from home or anywhere at all, and he earns more than me.
Now, he wants to move back to his state in order to be closer to his family and friends. The problem is that we both know that although he earns well from his job, the job has no security and he could lose it anytime. Meanwhile, my own business has such a strong base and we can always fall back on it. Should I just leave it all, relocate with him to become a full house wife which will only make me miserable?. What happens if he loses his job? Is loosing my business not too much a sacrifice to make just so he could be closer to his family?. I don't want to leave my business and I don't want to lose my husband either....please help! What should I do?

Closer to the family he says. What's wrong in making out time and visiting his immediate family every now? Or is he forgetting the fact that both you and the child are also family?

I don't think he realizes the implications of his move. Being that your job has more security, he needs to think about it. Or because the environment you guys live in, he doesn't deem it conducive enough to raise a child?

Nigeria as a country is relatively hard, there are bound to be ups and downs. What happens when there's seize of flow of cash from his business? What happens then?

You guys needs to have a proper discussion on how to move forward or its going to be a problem 'long the line.

I will comment when I wake up.

Me think you (the wife) is his home. I hope he knows what he's doing considering how hard it is to secure job for one's wife nowadays.

pls your husband should not move back ooo, he can visit his family always ooo, since you have a stable business, let him invest more and expand, job without security is the highest form of depression if things go south besides he his now married and his own family first, let him think it through, peace.

His reason for wanting to move isn't crucial enough to take the risks that will come with it. Is someone in his family ill or something? Not only is it impractical, it's also pretty selfish in my opinion.

Have a serious discussion with him about this with him, and if you have already, have another one. Good luck

What's the name of your stable business. Or is it a business without name?

What's the name of your husband's job too you can be a job without a name?

Sacrificing your business in order to be closer to his family is not a good idea in my opinion.

In the present situation of things in Nigeria asking your wife to be a full time house wife is not a good idea
