[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Perhaps she's been complaining about the job problem for ages and OP just wasn't listening or kept insisting she stay for the health coverage. Finally she's just had enough and quit.  It happens. Another job will come along. She may need a break though. Not the end of the world.

+1 I had as similar experience with my husband a couple of years ago. I wanted to switch jobs and every time I discussed it with him he would tell me he wasn't comfortable with my making a change at that time, wanted me to push back the timeline. This went on for months and months all the while my company was not doing well (small tech start up). Working at a company that is about to go belly up is extremely stressful - everyone behaves awfully in circumstances like that. Anyway, finally one day after a particularly bad experience with my boss I just quit. My husband was LIVID and probably would have had a perspective and attitude initially to OP if he was talking to someone else about the situation. My mistake was waiting for his "permission" to switch jobs in the first place. I should have just started looking when my gut told me that was the right thing to do. Anyway, fast forward a couple of years and I've actually started my own consulting business which is doing well. DH couldn't be happier.

So, tell the truth OP - did you ignore your wife's ongoing frustration with her job situation for your peace of mind and convenience until she couldn't take it anymore? If so you really might want to look at that. [/quote]
