Why are you asking? You are your own person. You are in charge of your own future and career path.
He also can’t keep your kids away from your side of the family.
This sounds like it’s more about keeping you isolated.

I don’t understand “my husband had refused me”! Does he own you? Are you his slave? His toy? Get your grown up big girl panties on and go do what you want to do for yourself! If he doesn’t like it he can leave.
Are you his pet? What do you mean he won’t let you? You are a grown woman.

As long as it’s not an MLM scam, and you’ve done your homework/ maybe entrepreneurial boot camp, you should be able to start your own business. Unless there’s a major history of child abuse, no reason to ban your family. Might be worth consulting a counselor?

First line was all I needed to read. Nobody “lets” you follow a dream. You just do it. Do it.
Excuse me!!! He doesn’t want your kids to know your family!!! That right there should’ve been the reason to leave his controlling patriarch ass!!!
what business idea is it? wondering because an mlm is not a business so I can see opposition in joining one of those.
also when you’re married, if you’re taking out business loans or using his money to start a business, yes you both need to mutually agree.

He doesn’t own you
The only reason I can think of to stop you is that you don’t have the funds
He knows if you start your business you don’t need his help
Fishy about him not letting your family be apart of you life anymore. Did something happen to make him that way? Got to more to story. But like I’ve always told my husband: my father doesn’t tell me what to do & no other man is either.
Start your business anyways. Stop letting him control you. Take your kids to see your family too.

Stop thinking about it and start doing more for what works for you and your children. Your husband is selfish and unsupportive and you already know what you want so go for it and best of luck.
Time to get moving on your own. He doesn’t own you nor are you a slave to what he wants. Go get your dream

Sounds like you have already determined what might be The Best Decision for yourself and your children. Takes Two to have a marriage- family. Think this through and have plans in place. Know where you will go to live with your children, money you will need, transportation, etc. I would have all of that in place, before making the big move and telling your hubby. Once that takes place, then you can decide if you both want to try and work things out towards keeping your marriage or moving in a different direction. Talk to maybe a Pastor or Counselor to help in the days to come.
Just do what you want to do. How is someone ‘stopping’ you?

Sounds like he wants to control you and if you start a business and making your own money he loses some control over you . Leave his ass ! Like yesterday . You will never be allowed to have anything he don’t provide you . Take your kids to see your family too screw his possessive ass

I mean will you be paying for the start up costs? Have you researched the market? Is he expected to pay for it all?? Starting a business is a big commitment where you may not make a profit in the first few years. If youre using money that you make, that you have calculated aling with your bills and thags more of play money then thats really not his call to make. Other than that, yeah I mean hed wssentially be your investor and as an investor he has every right not to financially fund you for it.

Life is to short to be unhappy. If you have the means to leave then by all means leave. Your kids deserve to know your family. Is has to be the most shellfish thing to keep kids from family. Leave
It is easier to let him pay the bills until they graduate, then leave him.
Stop listening to him!!! You DONT need his permission to do anything

If you have all your finances in order to start your business then do just that. As far as only wanting y’all kids to only know his side of the family he would have to take several seats and kiss my ass. Finally, decide whether you will be happier by yourself or with him.

How old are your children. Does your family take up all your time?
Sounds like you may have other issues. I would hold off on the business not because that’s what he wants but it will make the divorce process a bit easier. One less thing to show lawyers and judges. Start working towards your separation and once separated start your business 1000%. As a owner of two businesses your partner should always be supportive. When a partner stops supporting your dreams and goals then you have some serious decisions to make. Also find the best and most ruthless lawyer you can as these situations rarely go easy.

You married him. That doesn’t mean he owns you which means you do not need his permission for anything. You want to start your own business then do it. He doesn’t like it I’m sure he can find the door! Not only that, what on earth is this about knowing only his side of the family?! No!! I can’t even imagine how hurt your parents must be in this situation. I’d be devastated if my kids had children and I barely (if at all) got to see them. He sounds controlling and my advice is to get out!! Divorce is hard but marriage like this is even harder and harms you, your family, and will harm your children. Leaving is scary, but isn’t that scary when you realize you have been doing everything on your own all along. I hope for everyone’s sake you leave because this situation sounds horrifying.

That is called “control”. Tell him last you checked you didn’t come with a remote for anyone to control you.
Leave him open your own business and allow your family to be part of your kids life.
When a man loves you he wants you to grow as a person, he supports you not holds you back. Good Luck

Kinda need more info 
Maybe your idea for a business is crap and he’s protecting your family’s assets
Maybe your side of the family is also crap lol
Well I’m going to play the devil’s advocate on this one since there isn’t enough information on why he feels this way.
Could it be that the business adventures you are seeking will have little to no value or income potential… maybe a high possibility of failure and bankruptcy?
Is your family not a good influence or toxic in any way shape or form?
I just feel like he may have very valid reasons and we are only hearing your side of things.

Need more to this before y’all can judge … By saying won’t let you start your own business ? Do you have your own money or are you using his? Or is his income y’all’s which means y’all are financial partners … If it’s your money then do what you want fuck him but if it’s his or y’all’s then have you presented the business idea and did he not like it? Or was there some other motive?
Got to do what is right for you! He want you under his thumb!
Oh hell no…. He doesn’t own you or your kids. Everything in a marriage is supposed to be team work and agreed. Don’t ever let a man control you and that goes for men in relationships with women too.

LET YOU ??? He can’t stop shit ! You build your business for your babies ! Create success and pass it on to them . He can see the door .
Girl throw the whole man away. It’s automatically a red flag with him isolating you and your kids away from your family and he doesn’t want you to start your own business because then you’ll be able to support yourself and won’t need him. That’s also his way of controlling you. He should be supportive of any dream you want to follow rather he thinks you’ll make it or not just as you have supported him through his. Find someone that will cherish you and your kids and will not only support you but will help you along the way!
