Marriage is supposed to be built on compromise, mutual respect, and shared decisions. But what happens when one partner suddenly changes the rules of the game? That’s the painful situation I’ve found myself in. Despite years of planning our lives around the agreement that I would continue working after having children, my husband did a complete 180 once our daughter was born. Now, he expects me to give up my career and independence—all because of a choice he made without me.

Time to see how Reddit weighs in on this drama.
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about jobs or money—it’s about control, respect, and trust. I’ve stood firm because I know caving now would mean losing myself and setting a precedent that my voice doesn’t matter in our marriage. I love my husband deeply, but I refuse to be cornered into a life I never agreed to live. The question is: am I being selfish for standing my ground, or is he the one refusing to see what true partnership looks like?
