First, I don't think that anyone should be forced to give up their career, period! This isn't just a D/s issue, vanillas have to make the same choices.....I gave up my career choice when I got married, and it is the ONLY regret that I have in my life. My current job is in the same field, but a different position in the field. I love my job! I am a total Type A, true blue dominant personality at work.....I have to be, so it is in my personal life that I have opted for change. Don't cross me at work....I don't get mad, I get EVEN! At home, well, it's a whole different story. Miss, is he going to be a career soldier? How much longer does he have on his contract with the army? If he's not going to in forever, why not just wait for him? I know long distance relationships suck, but people all over the world are involved iwth members of the military, and get along just fine. I spent 4 months waiting for my husband to get back from Germany, I left first. Ran up one heck of a phone bill, and missed him horribly, but managed. We really appreciated each other more when he returned stateside. (Too bad that part didn't last!) As far as giving up my job, nope, ain't gonna happen. I have to feel like I am contributing to the household, financially or otherwise. I have been told that he will take care of all of my needs, but I'm just not that type of person. And if I were to give up my job, I'd be absolutely, postively climbing the walls in a week! Boredom is my enemy, and when I'm bored, I get miserable. I asked just what I was supposed to do while HE was working, he said there'd be plenty of things to do, but couldn't elaborate. I need to be physically and mentally occupied......with interests outside of the bedroom and the house. Also, I'd feel guilty about saddling him with my medical bills.....nothing major, but I take hormone therapies, and medication for diabetes. The blood tests I have done alone are a small fortune....never mind that one prescription is almost $800 a month...or would be if I didn't have my health insurance. He said he'd take care of all of that......I can't seem to let him do it. Should things progress, he has decided that I can keep my job until I want to quit it.....he seems to think that I will want to quit pretty soon if things progress the way he's expecting them to. But there is no promise that if I quit, and things go south, that he will give me the assistance to get out. Therefore, I feel the need to have the job so I can land on my feet. But that is the future.....for now, it's just me and my job...and I love it. Giving it up is not an option I wil lgive in to without a great deal of thought. As far as someone demanding or commanding me to do so, sorry, I'm outta there. But that's just me.
