I'm at the beginning of my career and i really like what I do especially when i'm working with people I llike...but my husband would like me to consider leaving my job and he's tryign to convince me a million ways why working for him would be so much more beneficial to the family and myself in that I woudl be making more money, but for me money is not an issue, I don't care if I make more money or not...anyways I am having a tough time making the decision because I feel a bit pressured to leave my job when I really don't want to but then I do want to help my husband too...what would you do?

Sometimes it's not easy but maybe you should try for part time see you like or not.Then you give your answer.Because family business it's more likely more relax and fun than career job.For long term you have plenty of time with your family.

Hi...I read where you said "Money is not an issue" and that really impressed me about your character. I have read about successful folks in life and most of them succeeded because they loved what they did and it was that passion not money that drove them.

I think that this all boils down to your husbands and your goals together. If you both have goals of what you are going to do it's more fun working as you are working towards something rather than day in day out drudgery.

I think if his business is one where you can have input and also your ideas etc.. it would be more fun. I just can't imagine it not being better than working for someone who doesn't care about you as much as your husband.

Given the choice I would work with my spouse every time. Life is so short and we are only here for a moment and I just feel that later on in life..looking back I think you'll be glad you did.

If working with your husband would be more work that's something to take into account. Also (and some folks will be mad at me for this but here goes lol) religously speaking it may be better to work with your husband. If you believe the husband is head of the household etc..

I know you don't know me from adam but I keep asking myself why someone wouldn't want to be with their spouse and if there is some issues in that area. So hope I gave you some opinions but you would know more about what you should do than any of us strangers on the net to be honest with you. You got the facts etc.. Bye for now!

Since you don't really want to I would think it out. One thing I would base it on is do you and your husband work togather well in close proximity for lengthy periods of time. Some family members don't. The love each other but don't want to spend all day every day togather. Your husband needs to consider your career desires also, it may be best for both of you for him to hire someone. Good Luck.

wow, thats hard i know someone whos going thru that too,I think personally its not good for couples to work together because work gives them both breathing room to be away from each other. Being with the same person ALL the time gets old.

Yea, that is a toughy. I'd tell him to at least give me the opportunity to work on my current job for 12-18 months before quitting. It's not fair for you to give up something you enjoy doing just to make him happy. He'd have to compromise with me. In the long run being married to your boss has it's perks.

If his business is also open on the weekends, tell him you will work weekends only with him, because you enjoy your job and you're not ready to quit.

it would be good if you can help him but the benefits have to be there , sometimes it is better to work apart so there is no conflicts or friction in working together.you know the saying the more you are apart the closer you are

you should be happy whatever your choice is. If hubby loves you then he will support your decision not discourage you to do something else. In the long run you may resent him for making you choose his business. good luck:)

I think your husband is being selfish---tell him you feel pressured and tell him at this time you don't want to quit your job.
