[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]H used to work a job that he absolutely loved, but the hours were terrible. He was either not home, sleeping, or sleep deprived and exhausted or irritable.

Work reassigned him to a different position a few months ago. He now WFH with regular 9-5 hours. It’s been fantastic for me, he’s home to help out, he’s happier, we have a sex life again, kids are happier, I’m happier because everything isn’t falling 100% on me.

Yesterday H brought up trying to find a job like his old one. He hates office work and would rather be out “in the trenches”.

I told him if he does, I’m out. If I’m going to be a single parent, I’d rather be a 100% single parent so I can at least have one less person to feed, do laundry for, and I can date someone who actually wants to be around me.

Is it unreasonable for me to say no to a job change?[/b][/quote]

No. I might soften and compromise, if there is a compromise, but as someone who solo parented for a long time due to my spouse's job I get where you are coming from.

I've seen some of the negative responses, but sometimes it's just time to grow up and meet your responsibilities.[/quote]
