Her Ex Is Furious She Quit Her Job After They Got Divorced Because He’d Begged Her To Do That While They Were Still Married
This woman and her ex-husband were married for nine years, from 2013 to 2022. And over the course of their marriage, they welcomed three children into the world, who are currently 5, 4, and 2 years old.
Yet, even before they had kids, her husband always wanted her to quit her job.
He apparently owns a business and makes a “decent’ living. So, he thought he earned enough for both of them and that she didn’t need to work. Then, once they began having children, her ex started voicing his opinion about her staying home even more.
“However, I didn’t want to quit because I loved my job, and I enjoyed the balance of both of us working and then coming home to each other as a family,” she recalled.
Her ex didn’t feel the same way, though, and following their third baby, their marriage crumbled. This caused them to separate and get a divorce.
And now that she doesn’t have a spouse to lean on, her life is much different. Her ex has help from his mother and currently lives with his new girlfriend. She, on the other hand, is all alone whenever she has their children.
This made her believe it was impossible to juggle both parenting and working full-time, which is why she decided to quit her job last month.
“I was starting to feel burned out. I have the majority of custody until the kids are older, and it was too hard to maintain my job,” she reasoned.
“I miss working, but I feel much better now.”

When she first quit, her ex-husband didn’t say anything about it, either. However, when he picked up their kids just yesterday, he blew up on her.
She was accused of waiting until after the divorce to quit her job, which her ex had begged her to do while they were still together.
His anger caused her to begin crying, and she tried to tell her ex the truth. She had his support at home when they were married, but now, she is on her own when she has their children.
“Which is why I had to quit. It wasn’t to spite him but because I couldn’t handle both on my own,” she detailed.
In hindsight, she regrets having this argument in front of both their kids and her ex’s girlfriend, something they’ve never done before.
Her ex-husband is still livid at her, too, and painting her as a villain.
“Saying I broke up our family and his heart and then left. I feel like [garbage],” she vented.
His outburst has pushed her to wonder if only quitting after she and her ex got divorced really was a jerky move.
Does it make sense why she’s only staying home because of their split? Should she feel bad about it or not?
