God is really great! after a long way of my job search, finally I got hired. I had my interview yesterday at one of the Assisted living here in Arvada. It's only 8 to 10 minutes drive from home. I went to my interview at 11 yesterday and it took for 15 minutes for the interviewer to interview me. At 2 in the afternoon, I got a call from the manager that I can start tomorrow. I am so happy to hear about the news, and rang my husband right away. But unfortunately I couldn't get hold of him, because he was on the phone with his travel agent. He actually decided to come with me to PI, since a co-worker of him is willing to take over his projects. When he called me back, I was so excited to tell him about my job news, that I was telling him to cancel my flight because I got the job. He was telling me something that I didn't understand exactly about our flight, but I ignored what he said and didn't ask any clarification, because what I had in mind is the job, that got me really excited.
When he came home in the evening, he told me that he can go with me, and he asked me what I really want to do. I told him that this is a good opportunity for me. The job is close to home plus the pay is reasonable. So he said he would leave the decision for me. This morning I told him about my working schedule, that I have to work 12 hours a day, from 6 A. to 6P. He wasn't happy with it, but he still considered it, because he will adjust his working schedule according to him. He would also work the same time as me. But the moment I told him that I might work on weekends too, that's the time that he was really mad at me. He scolded me non-stop, asking me so many whys? and telling me that I was jeopardizing our marriage life. If I work on weekends that means,we can't hold any parties at all, my friends can't visit me and have gathering at home, w/c he likes it. We can't go anywhere on weekends together and what's the point of marriage if we don't do things together. He has all the point, but I still said that I want to work in order to help him pay our bills and support my own family instead of him supporting them. "This was his reply....OK, if you don't like to see bills, I will paid off all the bills. ( He only said that because he was really mad, he couldn't afford to pay all the bills at one time for sure) Speaking about supporting your family, did you hear me complain about it? NO! because I am happy that I can help them" And if you don't want to listen to me, do whatever you want to do" Everything he said, the only reply that comes out from my mouth was....SORRY! So I have to start to work tomorrow, taking a resignation letter along with me. It is really wasted, but our marriage is more important to me. Hard to let go this opportunity that knoks along the way for me, but I can't risk our marriage just because of money. I knew my husband is right, MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING.....though we need money to survive. Thinking about letting go the job, it really hurts me, I can't imagine $12 per hour, 12 hours a day, and 7 days a week. It would really help us a lot. But what can I do?
