Hi all, looking for some advice, I have been in my job for 18 months and have recently been offered a really good promotion but my husband has become very difficult with my working hours as it will be a mix of days and evenings.
Before getting this job I had been at home for 8 years raising my family, I had dealt with his digs and negative comments about me not doing anything and being lazy the whole time. One day I thought damn it I'm going to get a job and show you how good I actually am.
I found a job and absolutely love it, the place the people, being financially independent again.
He has always had an issue with my job weather it be the days I work or that I choose to do overtime instead of being at home when they are all at school or work.
In the last month I have been offered a promotion which is double pay but also double the hours. but because i have the school run in the mornings doing the early start just isnt possible, so evenings would be the best option with a couple of mid shifts in there too. i have spoken with him tonight about it and he just sees it as i am abandoning my family, but im doing it to better myself and my family.
there is no happy medium i get slated for not working and i get slated for wanting to be sucessful.
i feel so much happier no im somewhere where i am respected for the hard work i put in but i come home to negativity.
thank you
