[quote=Anonymous]So what I am hearing is you expect him to move out of his comfort zone to a new job with a whole host of variables, even though he is currently the primary bread winner (not sole but primary).

Men feel this sense of obligation that seems to escape women sometimes. That's why you'll see a post on here sometimes from a woman who has just up and quit her job, because she didn't like it. Women are at liberty to do that kind of thing. Men understand that the financial health of their family rests mostly on their shoulders and are reluctant to upset that apple cart.

If he switched jobs and it doesn't work out (he gets fired), are you going to berate him and belittle him for being inadequate? If the new job requires travel or OT are you going to be mad at him or have an affair because he's never home, even though you are the one that pushed him into the new job? If he despises his new job, will you feel remorse for having egged him into it, and now he is trapped in this new job?

In short, I hear you being ok with him changing out of his comfort zone, but nothing about what you are willing to do about it.[/quote]
