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

One online job interview turned into a household fight when a pregnant wife allegedly kept interrupting her husband during a make-or-break test. The timing could not have been worse, because he was trying to land a better-paying IT job so the couple could prepare for their first child. He says he warned her that he needed silence during the remote interview, but she ignored him, blasted music, and derailed the test. He says this was not the first time either, and that five interviews have already gone wrong.

Now he is telling her she may need to go back to work after giving birth, and the fallout is only getting messier. Read on.

OP shared his problem:

Reddit

His wife wants to be a SAHM, so he must find a better-paying job

Reddit

He had an important interview

Reddit

And he had to do a test

Reddit

He told his wife about it, but she didn't care...

Reddit

That is where things started to go sideways.

So he did what he thought was right—he ignored her

Reddit

She yelled at him and turned the music on—loud.

Reddit

Of course, the distraction caused him to fail the exam.

Reddit

OP is furious because this is the fifth interview she has ruined

Reddit

So he told her she should start working after giving birth.

Reddit

The Reddit crowd had plenty to say about that part.

This is similar to a husband offering his wife to quit, then getting called misogynistic at dinner.

The Redditors mostly agree:

Reddit

This is good advice

Reddit

It is hard to understand her actions...

Reddit

Five interviews? Really?

Reddit

One commenter thought the pattern said a lot.

It is perfectly reasonable to expect people around you to be quiet during important interviews...

Reddit

What is the wife thinking?

Reddit

It is clearly a pattern...

Reddit

Yes, that's how it is done...

Reddit

It is the way it should be...

Reddit

This might work... But it is sad that it has to be done.

Reddit

It is unclear why the wife acted the way she did. Did she change her mind about staying home with the child? Or was she simply jealous of her husband’s potential success?

We feel that some detail is missing that would make this story easier to understand. It’s hard to believe that the wife would act like this just out of the blue.

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

Trust issues got worse after a wife’s secret job application, should they move?
