My husband does not want me to quit my job as a truck driver. I know he is worried about money but I want to?

I want to come home and finish nursing school and find a job. I did not get married to be apart from him. He doesn't seem to mind. This job is wrecking my body and my marriage. Would you disobey your husband and quit your job?

    I support my husband's decisions about his career and I expect him to do the same for me.

    I would quit. driving a truck is hard core.

    If you are wanting to quit your job then do whatever you feel is the right thing to do. Being a truck driver is a hard job and your not home alot of times. Go back to nursing school and then find a better job.

    well it should be what both of u want to do like u should tell him how u feel or what u want to do and tell him u want another goal and if that nursing thing will get u more money then ur truck driving but don't take any risks becuz of the economy right now is bad and hard to find a good supporting job right now.

    It's probably not the best idea to quit a job, given the current state of the economy. BUT your husband should be supportive of what you want to do.

    I am married myself and consider quitting a job as a mutual decision. Go over "the books" and make sure you can afford to quit. Tell him that it's important that he supports what you want to do.

    If you are THAT unhappy with the job, quit. Maybe he doesn't exactly understand how unhappy it is making you.

    I'm going to be blunt here: ask yourself, if he's not willing to support your happiness, do you really want to be with him?

    Just find another job before you quit so he can not say you are not working. But you should be able to discuss plans like this with him. When you finish school you should make good money so he should let you not that you need his permission. Just watch out for your best interest.

    Did you say "disobey" your husband?!

    Sorry, I can't possibly answer the question because I'm still choking on the "disobey" portion of it. Did someone turn the clock back to the early 1400's when I wasn't looking!? Not a fair trick!

    you should do whatever you want. it's your life not his. you have to find something you are happy with. plus it's not like your quiting forever you just want a job in nursing that you know you will like...it keeps you more alive. i know your married but you should put yourself first education and career wise. my husband tells me that he wants to see me have a real career for my benefits. for example: what will you do if you don't have any experience working as anything and your husband leaves or passes away? you should get yourself set for the present and do what's best for you. he should be supporting you and encouraging you to be the best you can be....i love my husband for pushing me to be my best...
