[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, if I were miserable and disgruntled at work, I would consult my spouse before quitting.  I would NOT be asking his permission and it would be more of a planning discussion.  I watched my dad drop dead of a heart attack due, in part, to the stress of dealing with a tyrant boss. And I clearly remember my mother dismissing his complaints and telling him to hang in there.

Like another PP said, I am not so sure this was out of the blue either. Maybe OP did not expect him to quit so soon, but the notion of him quitting was hardly a surprise. [/quote]

I agree that "permission" isn't the right way to think about it, but a couple should plan this together.  For example, they could have discussed how to start saving more money before he quit, when he would resign, what he would do to develop his business, how much of their savings he could use for the business, how they would survive during her maternity leave, etc.  You don't just come home and announce that you quit unless your company gave you the choice of quitting or doing something you found morally abhorrent or something.
