Would you support your spouse?

My husband has been a cow hand for about 6 years, makes good money, and has always been happy with his job. About a week ago he came home and told me that he quit his job and went and joined the fire department. While I support him in whatever he does, I am having a very hard time with the fact that he did not discuss the transition with me at all. How would you deal with this situation?

I think you should talk with him about the problem now.
He did not talk with you about the job change, maybe he did not want you to worry about him. I that case, you should make him know that you love him and will support him in any condition.
If he thought that you may not support him to change the job, it is your time to make him understand that you love him in any condition.

I guess it would have been nice to discuss things with you but maybe he just needed to do it at the time and just jumped in, has he given any reason to you why he didn't discuss it with you.. the main thing is that he is happy with what he has done, life is too short to not be doing what you need to do...

I would support him, sure. But I can understand why you are frustrated - maybe he should have spoke to you about it first instead of just doing it. You should maybe have a talk with him about communication problems between the two of you. Happy MyLotting. & Best of luck.
