Maybe some of you out there can relate- but lately I am having a hard time figuring out how NOT to worry about my parents disaproval lately. It's not even real disaproval, voiced in an aggressive manner, it is more or less a feeling I get from them in small comments or things like that.

For example, my husband currently works for my dad's company. This can be very difficult at times. When my husband has a hard day at work, I find it difficult NOT to feel like he is complaining about my dad and I get defensive and don't let him get it out. He is not really enjoying what he does anymore and would like to try something else. Here are a couple problems: he isn't sure what he would like to do and doesn't have a degree and secondly, he makes pretty good money with my dad and so it would be tough for him to basically start over- would most likely be a pay cut.

I get really nervous and worked up about this. What will he do? Will my parents approve? If he works as an "x" will they think he's not "supporting" me well enough?

From others' recent responses to my posts who have all been really supportive, I've gotten the impression that I should just let things happen- let him do his thing, whatever that may be and not be concerned about the money as long as we are able to meet our needs. And I KNOW I should especially not worry about what my parents will think. If I just continue to try to convince my hubby that staying in a semi-stressful job doing something he doesn't really like just for a little more job security and for MY OWN emotional well-being is not okay and will make him feel trapped, right?

Maybe I just answered my own questions and maybe I just needed to vent. But I guess I just need support and maybe just to hear that everything is going to be all right and to just chill out! Any takers?
