My dh is currently suggesting he apply for a new job. He loves his current job- he is good at it, highly respected at work, it offers challenge, it's close for him to walk, he gets great time off holiday-wise and the pay is good. He knows all this and is open about it. It's just a personal itch he wants to scratch- feels he should try something new. This new job however would mean fewer holidays and no pay difference. The main worry for me is that it is so far removed from the type of person that I think he is- I cannot see how this job would suit him, nor would be have relevant experience and therefore would find the role very challenging, at first at least. We have just had our third baby and now have 3 children under 5. I just can't find it in myself to feel ok about him doing this- our current set up works great, he is happy at work, he is fairly close to home, he can be home for teatime everyday and gets good holiays which means we get great family time together. I can't see why he would want to cause such an upheaval whilst our children are so young. He worries he is getting old- 40- and feels the need to try something different. He is getting upset by my lack of support
