The OP in this story has a lot of nerve. He asked his wife to end her career for him and she did. He said the high level of stress brought on from her job as an RN was negatively effecting him so much that he threatened to file for a divorce. That sentiment alone is enough to assume that he is the a$$hole. However, the moral judges of Reddit seem to be divided on this one. He loves her and doesn't want a divorce. He feels guilty for giving her this ultimatum but felt that it was necessary because he couldn't deal with 'the mental fortitude and stresses' that come with marrying someone in her career, especially in these current times. Keep reading to help OP decide.

I really can't do it anymore. We were finally getting back to a place where we had time for each other and then it got yanked back again.

    Font - I feel guilty because I selfishly didn't second guess her when she brought up quitting the job because I didn't want to leave her. I really love my wife and I want her to be happy and I feel she has to work through a lot of guilt about quitting and I feel horrible for forcing her to quit.

She chose whether to stay with him or leave the job. She might now regret it; she might have made the wrong choice for her, but that doesn't make him the asshole.
