After His Pregnant Wife Ruined 5 Job Interviews For Him, Husband Puts His Foot Down And Says She’ll Have To Get Back To Work After Giving Birth

There are a lot of important and significant things a person has to achieve in order to succeed. And in these hard times, other people’s support means everything. Especially when that person is your significant other. So it has become quite usual to expect help and understanding from that person. Especially now, when people spend a lot of time together at home, which in recent years has become not only a place to rest but for some also turned into an office, gym, and a restaurant. However, Reddit user @/vegan_wizard decided to share his experience and prove that living with someone really close to you doesn’t always work out for the best.

More Info: Reddit

During recent years, people have learned how to turn their home into a gym, restaurant, and most importantly, a workplace

The 27-year-old man revealed that he is married to his 24-year-old wife who is now 6 months pregnant. Having in mind their situation and that his wife wishes to become a stay-at-home mom after giving birth, the narrator has started looking for a better-paying job. The man was lucky to find a position in the IT sector where he would get a three times larger salary compared to what he earns now.

A Reddit user decided to share how he is struggling to get a job because his wife keeps sabotaging his interviews that are conducted at home

One of the interview parts included a test that helps the workplace to see how competent the interviewee is. The requirements included doing the test all by yourself, searching on the internet, and remaining silent. The interview was conducted online, so the narrator was doing it at home. Knowing this, the husband told this to his wife and asked her to be silent during that time.

The man continued by presenting the situation, stating that only 15 minutes into his test, his wife came knocking on the door, asking him to open a jar for her. The husband didn’t reply as this would mean the end of the task, hoping that his wife would understand that he really could not talk right then. However, the woman found other ways to disrupt and annoy her husband: she was talking loudly on the phone, was playing dance music, etc.

Despite the husband telling the wife repeatedly about the importance of this interview, she didn’t honor what was told to her

The situation made the man make mistakes during the test, so he failed it. The narrator later revealed that this was his 5th interview that he’d flopped because of his wife. This made him completely upset, so he said that after she gives birth, she will have to get back to work as she just ruined another opportunity for him to have a well-paid job. The situation escalated into an argument as the woman didn’t agree that it was possible for her to be silent this whole time.

Her ignorance resulted in him failing the interview task and losing a well-paid position for the 5th time

The man got so upset that his final decision was to make her get back to work after she gives birth to their baby

Soon people online started sharing their own points of view on this situation, with many trying to guess the reason why the woman kept sabotaging her husband. A lot of users implied that the wife is no good news and that she is looking for a financially secure way out of this relationship. What do you think about this story?

Are these job interviews for permanent remote positions,because I'm prepared to bet this girl's (deliberate word choice, she's not a woman until she grows up) SAHM attitude will extend to interrupting OP during the work day to change nappies/diapers, feed the baby. This is not, and will never be an equal partnership.

So let me get this straight. She wants to stay at home while you work but she doesn't want you to have a good job

I really want to know more about how the wife acts on a daily basis. I find it unfathomable that someone would ruin FIVE interviews like this. There must be other red flag behaviors happening, because she just sounds like an insanely childish, inconsiderate, and infuriating person. There is no way this lady is normal aside from this.

I'd say, get a divorce, the sooner she is out, the sooner she can finally grow up.

I read the very last reaction in the article as exactly that: ignore the "How about doing the next interview in a friend's house", only read the "Rent a motel or so, something away from your wife".
