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.
I was thinking the opposite, that his new position may make him travel a lot.

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".

She is either incredibly dumb or malicious. No someone you would want to have kids with.
I'm getting narcissist vibes from the wife. He should not under any circumstances have another child with this woman.

LOL...she says it's unreasonable to expect perfect silence at home...how much you want to bet she was perfectly silent before the interview? You should make her go back to work and not be a SAHM...don't want that shitty attitude rubbing off on the youngin'
You married essentially a child, when you were also a child. It’s been years and her brain still isn’t even fully developed. That was giant mistake number one. Giant mistake two was getting her pregnant. Giant mistake 3 would be doing it again. 100% they’ll be divorced within this decade. She’s garbage as a partner and he got married too young.
That's the problem with getting married at 21. You're straight out of college or working for a couple of years max so you didn't have the time to develop a career or even experience a job to begin with. There's nothing wrong being a SAHP but I would be more comfortable knowing that my partner has already worked a little in their life and they are not simply moving from student to "maintained". It's just my opinion but 21 seems to me a very young age to be married, at this day and age. "Live" a little more, travel, live together for a while, get a job, there's plenty of time to get married (I'm not suggesting to see other people; if you love your partner to the point of being willing to marry them, it's great. I'm just saying to wait a little longer)

Never be with anyone that will stifle your growth intentionally. When we love someone we want what is best for them because what's best for them is usually what's best for us, she's Petty and incapable of having complete thoughts. And her actions and attitude make her not a good candidate to be a partner or a parent.
This is control freak garbage. As others have posted, I'm sure this isn't the first time she did' something like this. I'm always sad to see there's a baby on the way or a child involved when the person starts to wake up as to what a horrible nut their partner is.
This is just a sign of a toxic relationship that won't last. Poor kid.
We currently live with my husbands family. Even my in-laws respected when I have interviews or mtgs. I tell everyone an hour then 30-min, then just right before I go on. Everyone respects it. If she can’t respect you now, I doubt she’ll change even after the baby. Let this be an eye opener.
When it came to my first interview for a job fresh out of college, my husband took half the day off and got my son out of the house since it was a phone interview. The next interview was an online interview where I was meeting my potential boss. My husband helped me pick out an outfit and then use his office at his work to make me look more professional. He also let all of his co-workers not to enter his office or have loud conversations in the hall during my interview. The place was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop. Needless to say, I go the job. Because that's what happens when spouses support each other. Your wife is TA.
what.a.b####!!! divorce her. means something similar WILL happen again!
Ah I've known at least 3 women like these, that were either a wife or girlfriend of friends (both male and female). It's truly horrible. They seem think they should be the center of their partner's lives. They need to be the top priority no matter how trivial their issue is. A friend finally filed for divorce when his wife cashed out their retirement plan, losing a chunk of money during the pandemic downturn and put it with her "financial consultant bestie". Now I know this "bestie" too. A pretty messy and confrontational person and truth be told, I wouldn't trust her with a dime.
Very needy and attention-seeking - even explaining away the pregnancy irrationality and insecurity that goes along with it. There's no guarantee that hormones go back to normal afterwards either! 24/27 isn't that young - who do you/she have for support/got her ear? Some first-time mothers think they are princesses, not mothers; ill, not pregnant. If there's a next time, make arrangements for her to be out, simple. Or perhaps you are too stupid to employ anyway?
absolutely nta, this "child " is so Imature and disrespectful, how is she going to manage being a stay at home mother with you at work if she can not even manage to respect the silence and solitude you needed for the job interview / exam. is she going to phone you at work and demand you to come home to open jars and change the baby. does not bode well for the relationship
The only bit of info I'm missing is if she knew beforehand you'd be in interviews during those times. It is unreasonable if you are both home during the day working or not, for there to be complete silence ALL day but surely she could agree to keep the noise down for an hour or two and not actively interrupt your interview or other work meetings. Also once she is a stay at home parent that's a whole new set of noises you'll need to be able to work around if your position is work from home. Then you'll need to soundproof your workspace or get some noise cancelling headphones. There's no telling an infant or small child to be silent even for short periods of time.
Who the hell did this guy marry? It seems like he has no idea who she is or was? Also, just get the interview at friends or family member's home and don't tell her. But then again, if you have to sneak behind your so back to get a job, maybe your marriage has serious issues.
Hopefully she'll get left out in the cold for her feet to freeze and fall off
More sham material than sahm material. Get a paternity test. Opt out no mater the result. If she's this bad now she'll only be worse later. This isn't a sexist opinion, it works both ways. I should have left my ex at the first red flag but I waited for the whole friggin' parade before I finally left. (Life lesson... the end of the red flag parade isn't nearly as fun as staying to the end of literally any other parade ever)
NTA. Divorce would be best, hard for the kid, but you'd be free to pursue a better paying job to provide for the child, and without this malicious person in your life. This is not a partnership, you are an abused slave. RUN.
She can't take a walk around the block or in the park for 30-45 minutes? Where does she think the $ for SAHM going to come from. I'm pretty sure I don't understand her plan.
Pregnant women don't become psychopaths, they're carrying a baby. Not the Joker
