DH will divorce me if I join the police force

I've been offered an opportunity to join the police force (family liaison type thing, rather than on the beat, if it makes any difference).

DH won't have it. We've been together for 16 years (I'm 32 and he's 38).

He says he will divorce me as he "hates the police." I asked him who he'd phone if someone broke in to our house and he's stormed off to bed in a bad mood after shouting at me.

I currently work from home and I'm here 24/7. I need to get out and do something for myself. Aibu or is this a really bad idea?

Well done that man. Police is a despicable vocation

Of society could actually behave and get along with each other, society would not need the police

Sounds like a great opportunity. You've the rest of your life ahead of you
Go for it x

He stormed off as he knows exactly who he'd call - unless of course he has some hideous record he's hiding from you (I watch a lot of TV!!)
I think that job sounds amazing and if he really feels like that then the question really is whether you'd be that bothered
Good luck in the job

Sounds like you need to ditch the husband and enjoy your new career and life.

It was optional 25 years ago when we got married. DDad told me he wouldn't be coming to the wedding if I decided to obey!
