My (37F) husband (30M) works at a difficult physical labor job that he hates. I earn over quadruple what he does, and I inherited a very large amount of money, yet he refuses to quit and keeps closing up when I ask him why.

Edit: I should point out that I don't expect him to just quit and sit on his ass all I day, I want him to change jobs. There are countless other jobs he can do, which are better, and aren't absolutely terrible. At this specific job it seems like everyone hates him and he also does a lot of back breaking physical work.

​

My husband works at a job that is extremely physically demanding. He hates it, and complains about it constantly. I earn 190,000 dollars a year, he makes about 40,000 a year. We also own (I inherited them) two brownstones in Brooklyn, both worth about 2 million dollars, and we rent one of them out and are looking to sell the other one. There is literally zero reason he should be working, we are SET financially for a very long time. Now, I understand if he wants to work just because it would be boring otherwise, but this specific job? That he absolutely hates? Its been a whole year since I brought up this topic of him quitting and he just refuses to tell me why he wont quit. He has one friend there, and they constantly complain about the other works there being rude and belittling to them and how the job sucks. His friend, who I know pretty well, also has brought it up, why wont he quit? His friend knows he is financially set for life. Its a terrible job.

​

I don't know if there is something suspicious going on or what. My big fear is that it has something to do with his family, because his family is sort of a 'crime family' if you can call it that, but he has never been into that kind of stuff, he barely even talks to them. But that is really the only suspicious thing I can think of from his side. And even then that wouldn't explain anything. His family is from Albania, the guys who run his business are all from china. If his business was some eastern european run business then maybe I would be more suspicious but they aren't. Another thing is that they all live in NYC, we live in Philadelphia. Again, that is a long reach.

​

I just have no idea what to do about this. He hates when I bring it up, he just suddenly says "no, i dont wanna quit, i like it" but I can tell he is lying.

​

TL;DR - - Husband is working a low wage, difficult job while I make 5 times what he makes yet he refuses to quit and clams up every time I ask him about it.
