I just started a new job...and before I started I was really excited about it. I quit a job that I really loved. I am working on my own, personal career, and so I choose to work part time. When I began the job, I knew it would conflict with my husband's schedule (we've been married almost 3 years, no kids)...and I told the employer that would work (I was so excited!). Now, I'm not so sure. I'm worried we will not be able to spend time together (only one day a week)...This new job is in my field of study, and the old job (that would take me back) is more of a service job, but I really enjoyed it. I've only been in this new job for a few weeks. It has a six month probationary period. Would I ever be able to quit without completely angering them? It's a place that I would like to be able to return to on a personal level...they are both part time jobs...and I'm worried that if I quit a few months from now, it will be more detrimental than quitting sooner...

give it a fair chance, you may find out you really do like it.

I just recently moved away from my fiance to take advantage of a business opportunity in Orlando and trust me, not a day goes by that I don't wish we were together. We're still together, we just don't get to see each other but about once or twice a month if we're lucky. Now I know you guys still live together, but I think that might be even worse. Little by little you guys might start to grow apart to the point where you'll be lying in the same bed and really not know the person you're lying next to. That sucks! My advice, there are more important things in life then our careers.
If you do decide to quit you should take a look at the link at the bottom of this post. Its a really great opportunity that would free up a lot of your time while still earning quite a decent salary. Average earning potential is anywhere from 500-1500 weekly. Just have a look see, and get back at me should you have any questions. In either case, GOOD LUCK!

Normally, I would say to just stay with the job since it's in your field of study, however, if you're really unhappy and your husband supports you going back to your old job, do that. After all, a marriage can't work if you never see each other. Heck, you may have just discovered early on that you went through the wrong field of study for you... which a lot of college grads do anyways, so as long as you make enough at the old job and enjoy it, then do that. Heck, I'd rather be happy flipping burgers than unhappy doing accounting (ok, so maybe I wouldn't really wanna flip burgers, but I'm horrible at accounting as well. lol)

You may not be aware of this but you are more than likely non-verbally displaying exiting behavior which can be easily read by your employer. Bow out gracefully. Something may be right but it sounds like this is not the right time. By all means, have another job to go to before terminating and do so in as pleasant a fashion as possible. On the other hand, recognizing what you do now may be an indicator of adjusting step by step to something new more than you realize and you may want to give it more time. Only you know for sure and good luck.

You should stick to the job for at least a year, you have to give it a chance. You and your husband will find ways to deal with your relationship.
So let the time show what you (and he) really wants and likes. As you only have been there for a short period of time you are still probably a bit insecure in your new context. So your thoughts are quite normal, but in this case patiente is a virtue!

First of all you need to get a life and decide what you want to be.
Your personal career you seem to be working on as well as your part time jobs.
With your husband more often. Does he want you at home?
Or studying and working part time?
If you do quit - yes you will anger them as they have invested time and money on getting you started with them. No it is unlikely that you will be able to go back.
You seem to be flitting from job to job and idea to idea. My thoughts are that you need to grow and a decide what you want to do with your life before you flit from job to job. Butterflies are beautiful as they flit from flower to flower but they have a very short life span!

Sounds like additional responsibility and/or giving up your free time isn't as easy as you expected. Give yourself time to adjust to your new schedule, then decide if you will stay or if you will go.
You may discover that the job is just as exciting as you thought!

Honesty is a great policy. Thank them for the opportunity. Apologize and let them knwo the reasoning. Tell them how great the company is and how great it was to work for them. But happiness is key.
And sooner is always better than later...

Is there any way they could change your hours for you? I know you are torn but you have to decide what you really want and what is best for you. Good luck.
