AIBU?
to be pissed off that DH is being unsupportive and negative about my business doing well?

i have a small business thats been ticking along, not making much money for the last couple of years but suddenly it seems to have taken off. i am really happy about it and very excited. its boosted my confidence and i also love my job itself and actually enjoy going to work.
i had a MC 2 months ago and was devastated, but this has been a much needed boost for me. as now my life seems to have found a new direction and i am happy with that. (we are still going to ttc #3 but its not the be all and end all now iyswim)
but while i have had excitement and positivity from my friends and other family, all i have had from DH is a kind of grumpy negativity. some of my work involves initially visiting clients to give them quotes at their homes or businesses and he really doesnt like this especially if its a man and makes disparaging, "jokey" comments.
yet if i wasnt working he would soon have something to say about it! as when we first got together he used to moan that his exW never went to work and being lazy and not contributing financially, but seems wives of his can't win either way....

no there is no reason why he would not trust me :( and its absolutely not a dangerous situation, (i can't say what my business is as i dont want to be outed in rl lol )
and i cant see why he would be threatened, it can only be a positive thing, me earning money, surely

Could it be a mix of emotions? Could he still be upset from the MC himself? Maybe he feels caution for you too in that you might be bouncing back too soon?
Also it could be a red flag for a self centred personality. Your work doing well takes up time you might usually spend on him?

Well done on your business, that must be a great feeling. Re your husband, are things that bad that you can't just ask him why he is being negative and what his problem is? I would have pulled my DH up at the first sign of this. I think asking on here you're just going to feel more resentful from the answers you get when you could probably sort ot all out with a quick chat with him.

Well done on the business OP.
My Dh never had any qualms about me going into strangers homes for work (nurse) the only time he ever raised an eye brow was when I had found weapons under the pillow of a dementia patient. Even I was your Dh is being a total ass about your business.
