Man Tells Pregnant Wife She Will Have To Go Back To Work After Giving Birth Because She Deliberately Ruined Five Of His Job Interviews

Insensitivity or jealousy?

The 27-year-old has a 24-year-old wife who is currently six months pregnant with their first child. The narrator has begun looking for a better-paying job, considering their situation and his wife's desire to become a stay-at-home mom after giving birth.

The man was fortunate enough to land a job in the IT industry, where he would be paid three times as much as he is now. One of the interview components included a test that allowed the workplace to assess the interviewee's competency.

The conditions included taking the test alone, conducting internet searches, and remaining silent. Because the interview was conducted online, the narrator was able to do it from the comfort of his own home.

Knowing this, the husband informed his wife and requested that she remain silent during this time. However, she did not...

Whatever the reason, we hope they will work it out. Landing a good job is hard, and so is finding a good nanny.
