Career over family?

[Sharmilagrg00]

I really need an advice and I was wondering if you can help me with this tricky situation here. My family was planning to move to another state because my husband couldn’t find the job here. We were all set to move in 2 months when I got an email for interview from my dream hospital for the dream job I have been pining for all these years. When I told my husband about this, he started to be passive aggressive. I told him it’s just interview and I am not even sure that I will get the job but then he started to emotionally blackmail me that I am choosing career over family, he is going to divorce me, he is going to tell our family and etc. I have interview tomorrow and because of all these emotional stress, I haven’t been able to fully prepare for the interview. Do you think I am really wrong to choose career over family? It’s just that this job is really perfect for me and later on life, I don’t want to have regret that I had a chance and I missed it and be this bitter person.

I wish you and your husband much joy, wherever you live and work.  I pray he gets a job soon and can feel that his manhood is restored.  Personally I think you made the best choice, but I am older.  I think that, generally, young women don't see things that way so much any more.
