Getting bullied by two female bosses at work & my husband?! Any ideas??

Question

1. I work as hard as the next person but my husband (in addition to my full time job) wants me to to geta part-time job) - he thinks he's the next Bill Gates and wants me to be totally supportive of helping him achieve his empire building dreams. He wants what he wants and honestly believes I am like an 8 year old and am incapable of having an opinion. Therefore I need him to make all my decisions for me. If I say no to what he wants he is threatening and says that I'm lazy and that I neva want to get anywhere.

2. I work as an attorney and am constanting reminded of my billing percentage - that is, every minute practically at work has to be directly billed to a client by way of invoice. But not absolutely every minute of your day can be billed to the client - but my two female bosses don't see it this way and just pounce on me whenever my billing percentage is not looking like a 10 out of 10. They claim the partner at the firm will pounce on them if they don't do this.

1. As for your husband...as for you wanting to work a full time job should be your choice! You are an adult, who knows how to make decisions! Just as much as he wants you to support him...he in turn should support you. Marriage is a 2 way street and it'll will never work out one sided and if it does work out then the one partner won't be happy, unless they choose that lifestyle. It's not wrong for him to set goals and dream big, but when it interfers with a marriage it's not good. My biggest issue with your husband is that he's threatening towards you, cause you won't be able to talk with him, and you'll go elsewhere to get advice, like asking it on here...but don't stop getting advice, and your smart for doing so. If he would listen to you with understand about how YOU feel...you wouldn't be here asking. It sounds like counseling would be good, but I know he wouldn't go through with that, cause it would make him feel weak or lesser of a man. Him threating you is not good and many times it will progress and he really needs to get a handle on it before it gets out of control unless it already has. Let your friends know and continue to get advice just so others are aware of the situation incase anything happens. Get advice from people that YOU TRUST, and keep talking to others.
2. As for your work, I would try to talk with your bosses, and if that doesn't work and if the pressure is too much, remember, you went there looking for a job and you can look elsewhere as well.
