Woman dumbfounded by husband’s attempts to ‘ruin’ her job interview: ‘This is about him trying to control you’

A woman is fed up with her husband constantly interrupting her job interviews.

She asked Reddit’s “Am I the A******? (AITA)” forum for advice. Her husband and his wealthy family disapprove of her career as a sales representative. While she was the job hunt, her husband sabotaged all of her video call interviews. When she finally stood up to him, he called her a child.

“I (/F33) am unemployed but God knows I had been looking for jobs (I’m a sale’s rep) for well over 5 months, right after I recovered from my knee surgery,” she wrote. “My husband has a high paying job, first he suggested I leave my career as sales rep behind [not up to his wealthy family’s standards, they’d mocked me for it a lot] and stay home but I refused because I love my job and want to grow in it. he suggested he finds me a better job since he has connections but that’s not in my field.

“I’ve had several job interviews and my husband has ruined all of them for me and here’s how: he’d walk into the room whenever I’m having a potential job interview and introduce himself and take over the conversation with the interviewer, he’d tell them about how good I am but slip in some bad stuff that eventually cost me the job. His argument was that he’s just making ‘recommandations’ since he’s connections and ‘influence’ but I told him to stop and let me handle it. He sulked saying he was just trying to ‘guide me’ and whatnot.

“Several days ago, I’d gotten a job interview and after getting inside the room and before the interview started I locked the door,” she explained. “My husband tried to come in and started knocking on the door asking why I was locking the door and telling me to let him in. I put my headphones on and used noise cancelling but he kept knocking telling me to open the door.

“After the interview was over I unlocked the door and walked out. He went off on me calling me disrespectful and awful to lock him out like that. I said I was sorry I wanted to work for this company so badly and I couldn’t let him ruin it for me. He got offended and said that I was being petty and childish and also ungrateful because of the stunt I pulled and said that he was trying to help me get the best deal out there. I said I’m not a child but he said that yes I was especially with how I behaved and for ‘excluding’ him from my interview.”

Redditors thought the husband raised some serious red flags.

“You KNOW this isn’t about him wanting to help, this is about him trying to control you,” a user wrote.

“Your husband is absolutely trying to sabotage you. This is dangerous and toxic behavior,” another said.

“Run, do not walk away from that relationship if he and his family are like that,” a person commented.
