I dont honestly think I could stop my partner from doing something he wished to do that wuld make him happy so as long as he would continue to earn money and had found another job before leaving the other so as not to leave us short of money I would happily agree to it although really he would not need to as my permission as such maybe my opinion though


myLot reputation of 93/100. plumwish07 (2871)   ranked 51 out of 1,860 in relationships  5 months ago

so, do you mean that i should agree and supporting him in this matter?


myLot reputation of 95/100. kezabelle (1914)   ranked 1,028 out of 1,860 in relationships  5 months ago

Well yes I would always try and support my partner in everything he wants to do as long as it is possible.

Plum, the question of supporting him is contingent with him still earning money. I would ask him not to quit his job, but work his dream on the side until it is providing at least as much as his job is. I would never quit a job without having another one in my pocket, so to speak. If you read my response down below you will see that if he is starting from scratch it will take time to make a profit, it will take time for his entrepreneurship to pay at least as much as his present job.. so if it were me, I would only agree if he was going about this in a way that will not cause a financial hardship.

NOOOOooooo! Don't ever quit a job to try it on your own. He will be supported by you alone and he will be bringing in nothing. If he wants to become an entrepreneur let him do it on the side while he is still bringing in money. That is a really scatterbrained idea. It sounds to me like he doesn't want to work a job, and thinks he can do better on his own. Well, it takes about 2 years to ever start making a real profit when you go it on your own, if you succeed at all... this is why you don't put all your eggs into one basket... he should keep his job and work his dream until he is sure it will provide as much or more than his present job. happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. plumwish07 (2871)   ranked 51 out of 1,860 in relationships  5 months ago

well, i have same idea as like you dear friend but it seems that he really uncomfortable with his working field at this moment. he still insist me to let him to be entrepreneur. i just become so much confused at nowsad


myLot reputation of 94/100. OreoCookie3 (13266)   ranked 250 out of 1,860 in relationships  5 months ago

I almost feel that you are being bullied about this. I think I would definitely tell him he HAS to bring in a paycheck... and no one hardly ever loves their jobs.. but they keep them because they are responsible. I feel it is very irresponsible to quit a job with NOTHING to fall back on.

Ask him to give you a plan of how he is going help you support yourselves. Just because he wants to do something doesn't mean you have to agree. Maybe you should make sure that he is responsible for some of the household expenditures and bills, and you be responsible for the other part. If you end up going bankrupt it is because he didn't hold up his end.

If he can keep working and bring in a steady paycheck and then pursue his wanting to be an entrepreneur then fine and dandy, but he has to be grown up about it. You don't just quit a job because you don't like it... not when you have to support a family.


myLot reputation of 73/100. onedollar (370)  5 months ago

That's a strange theory you have. Of course you can start as entrepreneur, you usually get a loan to pay for the expenses during startup including your own paycheck.

If you make a businessplan that should be in the calculations.

You first need to make a businessplan before quitting your job, try to secure a loan with a bank or try to get subsidized by the goverment (in some countries you can get money or taxadvantages the first years).

If you businessplan is good there is nothing to be afraid of and if you fail you can always get another job.

Hmmmm... If you think that he is not really happy with his job then maybe you should allow him.

hello plumwish

My husband wanna change job field, should i agree? i know what a shock hearing this from your hubby has to be. wow! does your husband have anything lined up yet to start up his own business adventure? if so, then what is it? and if not, in my opinion of the matter, then he needs to stick with his current job until he can find something on his own to do and also have the funds to start his new adventure with. you know? what is he interested in doing? and that is nice to hear that you have a job and work as well to help support things. what kind of a job do you have? thanks for sharing and i hope that everything works out for you-all.

have a beautiful day today!


myLot reputation of 93/100. plumwish07 (2871)   ranked 51 out of 1,860 in relationships  5 months ago

Well if your husband knows whathe's doing then no problem about that. Just make sure you have enough capital and marketing skills on how to market your service or product. It's very important.

It's really important too that you both agree to that move because it'll be okay if both of you will work on it.

So for me, again, IF your husband has the skills and the money. Why not?

Well, I would suggest to him to start the business he wants to start on the weekends when he is off and not to quit his job untill his business is off to a good start.

Sometimes people have that thought in their heads, and the business doesn't work out. You don't want to be his supporter do you?

Tell him to give it 6 months and if the business is at full speed and making money, then he can quit and you won't have a problem with it at all.

Support him, but don't let him make a stupid mistake.

Good Luck happy

I would never go against what my partner wanted and I would always support him in the decisions that he made but if what he is wanting is to go into business for himslef then you should tell him that it is a lot of hard work and time and for awhile he may have no money coming in and that could affect your home. I would have to say that he can keep his paying job while working on becoming and entrepreneur and once he is making money with that then he could quit his other job.

I do not think you can tell your husband not to follow his dream BUT do suggest that he starts his business of whatever he wants to do on the side, make sure it's a viable idea first to make sure money is coming in. It's never a good idea to leave a job with no guaranteed income to replace it and he is married and has financial responsibilities. It's all very well doing that sort of thing when you're young and live with your parents who can support you but it's unfair to expect you to bear the whole financial burden for your marriage whilst he tries to do something that could fail.

I am not trying to be negative but trying to explain that he needs to seriously consider the implications of giving up a full time job to do something that might not pan out. If you were earning enough money to easily support the two of you then it's a different matter - e.g. I could do that with my husband as we have a very small mortgage but I would say to him there's a time limit of how limit I would want to support us both, e.g. 6 or 12 months and then I would expect something to start coming out of his business or he would need to get back into paid employment.

My boss at work is a ......... I just can not wait the moment I quit and kick his .......

maybe your husband want a real change in his life. he wants to find him self. starting his own business may make him feel more independent.

I think you should help him and discuss the new job issues. you should be his partner whenever he needs you will find you around.

that is what I think.

you have my best wishes.
