Hi all,
Just joined this community, but really..I've been guilty of not starting it sooner.
Have a relationship question for you who are paving your free paths and working your dreams!
I just quit my job this summer not knowing what I was getting into, but I couldn't continue the scripted life I was forcing myself and finally said no more! Of course, all of the people around me have been nothing but strong and firm naysayers ;-), which honestly does little to me. I am so determined that their opinions do not matter.
But the hardest part is that my husband has been the *strongest* opposition of all.. fighting me on every aspect of the unscripted journey, giving unsolicited "insights". He thinks all the things scripted life offers are absolutely the only way of living, therefore for him I've completely lost my mind. It is like I am reading the first chapters of the book all over! Omg
How have you guys dealt with this unfavorable view in a relationship? I am so tired of explaining myself on this subject to him. It feels lonely I am getting zero support from my current friend circles or my loved ones (not that I expected at all). I actually expected this to happen any minute. And really don't have anything else to say to him..except I don't think I will EVER go back to office job just because someone you love thinks you have to do it. We keep fighting and fighting. And it is affecting my mental health more than I thought it did.
Did the relationship work out for you in similar situations like mine? How did you prove early on that entrepreneurship was your only path (which it really is the only way I want to live) and somehow still maintained your current relationship?
