Am I overreacting
Answered 4 years ago
I recently moved (6 months ago) 5 hours from my home etc to move in with my partner. I have worked the entire time. Recently there was some work place bullying by upper management and I was getting 1pm to 1am shifts 6 day’s a week. Despite having small children and my partner being a doctor who does on call night shifts etc at the hospital.
He told me to quit and I didn’t want to but then he told me “I need you at home if you don’t quit I will not pass my speciality exam”. So I went back to work and quit. I did that 2 weeks ago. I’ve been applying for jobs since. I got an interview but they could only offer me 4pm til midnight for all shifts which again wasn’t suitable for the kids and our home life.
we said we would keep it to ourselves as I have my own money I’ve saved and still am contributing financially and by doing all our household stuff and his.
But his mum just phoned and knows everything! But I don’t think she knows what our agreement was or that I have my own money.
I didn’t want people knowing as I don’t need judgment of me just being with him for money etc and don’t feel the need to then justify by explaining my finances.
I’m a little well not hurt but annoyed maybe. How would you approach this and am
I being unreasonable. I came from a really controlling DV relationship before this and am maybe taking it he wrong way as my husband always made me out to be an idiot and never told his parents I contributed etc despite me working full time and long hours.
I’m confused... help ☹️

Long distance for a while as he has temporarily been transferred here in a rural area for his medical speciality and will be going back down to our original area in a few months. But when COVID hit and lockdown was looming we decided to move up as we wouldn’t be able to see each other once or began for a while
