Should I just give up work?
I moved to a new area with my boyfriend for his work last year and he earns very good money and wants me to just be a house wife as he can see i'm so unhappy in my job.
I'm 28 and we might look at having a baby in the next few years after we properly get married.
I want to give up my job at a dental practice as I'm finding it hard to fit in there and the other girls are younger and seem to resent me for using my holiday leave to actually go abroad and travel different places with my boyfriend when none of them can afford it as they all waste their money going out drinking every weekend. They have actually said they are jealous because my boyfriend earns a good wage and theirs don't. They are b*tchy and mean to me every day.
I've thought about getting another job but I didn't go to university so I'm limited on what I could do.
I'm finding it very stressful and isolating at work and want to leave but I'm wondering is it ok to give up work at such a young age if you want to and can afford it?
Thank you anyone who can relate or offer genuine advice.
No, you should work, what the hell are you going to do all day? And if you break up with your boyfriend you will have no income! Change your job if you are unhappy, but do not, at 28 rely on someone else to support you, here's a thought, get married before you have children!
I honestly think if you can afford to then leave your job. Life is too short to stay somewhere you hate. And all the haters are just jealous! They've admitted it themselves. Maybe you could work part time or do some volunteer work? Do a college course or something productive? It's not about age whether you work or not, 3 of my friends are all army wives and don't work and they are younger than you! I was always told that kind of thing doesn't matter once you get married anyway. You raise a family and are there for when your husband comes home.
When your boyfriend get's killed in that unforeseen accident, I trust you will be able to support yourself without his "good wage" and no job. I suggest you consider all of the possibilities, and alternatives.
You will be isolated if you stay home all day and play housewife. Why not look around for a part time job doing something you would rather do or get some info on volunteer work.Being a housewife is boring and stultifying
A friend of mine did just that. Then her boyfriend came home and said (after seven years of living together), "We agreed to stay together as long as we both were happy. Well, I have found someone else; and I'm happier with her. She is moving in tomorrow so you need to be out tonight. I'll help you pack."
You are not a wife. Keep your job, a separate bank account, and be able to care for yourself. If boyfriend wants a housewife, first he has to make you a wife.
You're kind of going nuclear here! It's common to hate a job for various reasons, and these sound valid. But it would be very irresponsible for you to just stop working.
It's always in a woman's best interest to be able to support herself, and this applies even when she's married. Right now, you're living with a boyfriend and this is always a bit risky. If you need training to get something better or that you'd like more, why not get that training?
The other problem is isolation. What will you do all day? You keep mentioning how much your boyfriend makes, and of course this helps. But it doesn't make someone happy. If he's "just" a boyfriend, you wouldn't be a housewife. You'd be a slacker, I guess.
You're very smart to be aware a baby won't solve any of this and shouldn't happen until you're married. But that also brings up a curious question. Are there any plans to get married soon? I don't mean engaged, I mean married.
You're 28 and you followed him to a different city. That's a very big commitment on your part. What has he committed to?
This is the stuff you need to pay attention to.
I would especially if you got a boyfriend around to take care of you, i'm out of work and wish i had a boyfriend around to take care of me, youre lucky
- Why doesn't Ford just identify as not an assault victim and move on, just like when you identify as a different gender? After all, if a man can "identify" as a woman despite the actual physical evidence he sees in the mirror every day, it should be a snap to "identify" past something that has no evidence. Stop dodging the question libs - the mechanism you claim allows you to be a different gender despite your years in your physical body should be powerful enough to change your perspective on one moment of your life… Or is the whole thing a fraud?
- Should the repubs hire Hillary to give Ford that special Hillary treatment? She know how to handle these things. I would never really do that to anyone. This is just a comment on how this will be handled differently.
