During my pregnancy I worked until the ninth month because it brought me joy and helped me stay sane(iykyk). After sixth month of maternity leave I planned to move back to work, an argument broke down between my husband and me. He didn't want me going back to work and started coming up with BS excuses and escalated this to my MIL when he couldn't convince me(Should've seen a man child before).
Now a bit about me, I've always been working and have crossed all hurdles to be where I am in my career. My husband in initial talking phase said that, that was one of the redeeming quality he liked career oriented, ambitious woman.
After this his mother suddenly got ill aaand I'm suppose to leave my job and stay at home. I even offered to take up his financial burden(we earn the same amount), and suggested that he can stay at home, take a break, relax, but no, now both him and mil started pressuring me.
MIL uncomfortable with the idea, saying its his son's home(its in both our names we pay equally) what he says goes. Meanwhile husband threatened divorce over this. I thought to myself, would I really want my life to be this way, and took up on his offer and filed for divorce instead.
TLDR: Filed for divorce when husband was throwing hands at me for being and acting like a working woman, which he wanted in first place.
In the world of gender wars, here's my twisted story, I never thought people would change this drastically.
