AIBU to have career ambitions?

[oxymomon]

I have a new job with a big opportunity to have the career of my dreams. I was working late this evening, and my husband gave out to me saying he doesn't like me working late. He got angry and said that all evening I was "type, type, type" on my laptop, and that I should spend time with him. AIBU to feel resentful that he is controlling me, not allowing me do what I need to do to have a career? AIBU to want to achieve a successful career in my own right? Should I switch my career dreams off so that I can watch TV with him?

You have to carve out some time for your significant others, but no YANBU. He is.

Maybe it’s a threat.
Maybe it’s a change and he feels lost.
Lets say you could make £xxxxx a year as a writer, and spent all your time at home tap tap tapping away at your computer. Would that be just a scary for him?
Is this an emasculation thing?
Where is his career going?

It's almost impossible to answer without knowing the details. We certainly give men a hard time for 'checking out' from their families or neglecting them in favour of work.

On the other hand, he shouldn't stifle your career out of his own insecurity. That's said, it just sounds like he wants to spend some time with you.
