[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. She announced her notice. They actually want her to stay but she's not budging. [/quote]

I am sorry your wife is so selfish and doesn't think such major decisions should be made together.  This sounds like the result of too many Oprah Winfrey shows where "I" come first and "I" have to do what makes me happy.  Quite frankly I think the problem is that so many people lack gratitude for what they have and what is good in their lives and just want more of something, in your wife's case, more of me, me, me and the hell with the rest. Well, she is going to find out that the world just isn't sunshine and flowers no matter in which job or situation she ends.[/quote]

Good grief, your soapbox is just annoying. I was harassed for over a year at a job. I quit with my husband's permission, but I could not have held out any longer. Sometimes work places become unbearably toxic.

+1. Sometimes things go south in a work place and it is time to go. I quit a job after 11 years late last year. I was going to get wrongly forced out if I stayed. Leadership was changing; it was time to go. It got so bad it was affecting my marriage and kids. Husband said it was fine to quit. Will work again. Some time off is not going to hurt us financially.

Why can't you people read???

You all keep giving situations that are irrelevant - because you TALKED TO YOUR HUSBAND ABOUT IT! This DW did NOT. She just left. No conversation. No plan. No concern for where health insurance would come from, where the extra income would come from... She just bailed.

So, stop giving irrelevant examples because they don't apply.

No one said that DW shouldn't leave her job if it was a truly toxic situation. However, the problem is that if it was truly toxic and she wanted to leave, she should have at least talked it over with her husband - not to get permission - but to at least come up with some sort of plan on how the responsibilities would be taken care of when she left.

Now, this poor DH is blindsided by it and they will have to try and come up with something on the fly.

It's totally selfish.[/quote]

Chill out, PP.  People ae free to make comments they believe are appropriate, even though you can't see their point or disagree. [/quote]
