“My husband and I have been together for 10 years and for the entire relationship, we’ve always both worked full time jobs. I’m a teacher, which can be a high stress job at times due to behaviors, teaching and managing a classroom of little kids. My husband makes a lot more than me and we could afford to just live on his income.”
I’m currently expecting our 3rd child and during both previous pregnancies, I’ve worked up until the end. It was uncomfortable and I didn’t want to do that, but he wanted me to work until the end. With this baby, he expects me to work the entire time with no time off before birth.
The summer is coming up and most teachers will take time during the summer to relax and spend time with family, which is what I wanted to do. My husband wants me to find a summer job and won’t let me stay home to relax. He says that I will just “sit around all day” and not help him with anything, which isn’t true because I will be with our kids all summer.
My husband doesn’t have the provider mentality and refuses to be the only one working. He has said that if he has to work, then I do too, regardless of income. When I said I didn’t want to work during the summer, he got mad and said he won’t pay for any of my necessities with “his money” and I need my own money to pay for my own things.
I’m not sure if I’m just being emotional because of pregnancy hormones but it really upset me and made me cry. I haven’t spoken to him much in the past couple days. AIO??"
Unsurprisingly, the public at large was tearing her husband apart in the comments
"Why on earth do you keep having babies with that smooth brained lump?”
“You have been listening and obeying your idiot husband for way too long.”
“Does this man help out around the house at all, or does he expect for that to be your job as well?”
What would you do if you were in her shoes? Is there any way for her to get him to change his ways?
