My husband will not let me start my own business

Sounds too overbearing! He wants you to be a sub-servient!

If you are using his income, he has a say. I started a craft business basically on just my husband’s income and it is an uphill battle. There is a lot of time and energy put into starting a new business and I still haven’t really seen much return yet. It is a rough economy right now too. If it’s your money, then you still need to sit down together and talk. You need to discuss time you hope to put into it and finances. You need to have a real plan that works with your family needs, like do you have kids that need care at home? And do they need rides to activities? Will this new venture require him to take on new family roles and cut into his job and work time? His free time too? Maybe he is concerned about time a new business will take away from family commitments and your relationship. If you show him a detailed financial plan and how you plan to work around daily life, maybe it will reassure him you can fit it new responsibilities.

I would like to say I am commenting at this point where there’s over 400 comments and I have not read any of the previous…
Based off the VERY little information of this post…
My general statement or opinion is… in a marriage or relationship with children involved in the relationship… If you creating or becoming part of a business will bring income or better mental space for you or your family… If it will bring any positive… If it does not cause anything unreasonable negative…
Then why or what did his opinion matter?
… the simple bottom line is any relationship and specifically parents/partners relationship should be looked at equal on a mentality sense and if one can’t do that then neither can cuz if one person is capable in the beginning & becomes uncapable due to question the other person’s in capability and reasons…that just means
THERES A MAJOR RED FLAG problem

What business would you like to start? :slight_smile:

Leave it will get worse no thinking about it trying to u keep u from your family. Sounds like hes the type to snap run before that happens

Sounds like your asking permission? You have the right to be happy and successful. GO FOR IT!!! life is to short to let another human control you. Leave that man please.

Don’t involve him and just do it if you don’t need him to help start up

I’d be most concerned that he only wants the kids to be involved with HIS own family. That is very weird, controlling & unfair to her & the kids.

Sounds like he is controlling. I would leave

What do you mean he won’t let you? Where do you live communist china? Korea? And I’m sorry you’re the mom…what did he do give you sperm? I would bye bye baby and take your kids and go…

Well, since the scripture also said, " A woman should be submissive to her husband" and I believe that’s the holy book where we all find solace and inspiration. The woman get talk out things with her husband and be on the same page with him.

I think a little more communication needs to happen before action. What are his reasons for NOT starting a business? Are they valid reasons? Do you have the money to invest in it? Within 5 years of starting a business, half will fail. How does, “He also only wants our kids to know his side of the family.” fit into the conversation at all? Two separate issues. Not judging. Leaving him may be the right answer but don’t leave him for the wrong reasons. Good luck, sweet lady.

Marriage is a partnership, not a dictatorship. Make a list of pros and cons and take it from there. Show him there are more pros than cons to convince him.

You know what to do. Anyone-especially your spouse is a control freak (as if you didn’t know)

You do what you want, he’s not your boss - You are.

If there’s more abuse than this, Prepare and get the F outta there

You know what you’re supposed do. Fight for your life, and your kids. You complying only lets him know he has total control over you

You did not see red flags before you married him? That shit does not just come out of no where

First of all, my husband doesn’t LET ME do anything, I don’t need his permission. Don’t misunderstand, I have an amazingly wonderful and supportive husband, however, I don’t need to ASK his permission. I am a grown ass woman and I do whatever I want. Second, I wouldn’t allow anyone to dictate to me how I raised my children, not even their fathers.

Go your own way honey if he needs to hold you back it means he is frightened of you being better than him.Which of course you are …but if he was a proper man he would be proud of you and help you with your new business.
