Should he quit his job...

My husband had an affair with a coworker of his and at that time they were both working 2nd shift.  So, upto the day I found out he moved to 3rd shift which was still hard for me because he would still go in and she would still be there.  Now, his moved on to 1st shift which again, he is still there when she goes in to work believe me when I look at the time and I see its almost time for the "OW" to go in to work I freak out I start feeling mad, hurt in other words all those feelings come back the "What if's" What if his talking to her? What if she is talking to hm? I mean you name it I think about it.  Well, I don't mind him being on 1st shift because when he does get off work he is here with us and that is something I always wanted.  But, he found out that one of the guys in 2nd shift might leave so Yep you guessed it he might have to move back to 2nd and the idea is killing me that's how this affair got started.  He tells me he is stressed and scared that if he moves bck to 2nd that is going to destroy our marriage for sure and knows that it will hurt me all over again.  He tells me the reason he hasn't quit is because we have a house paymnt, credit cards, etc... and of course at this point in time it's getting hard to find a job.  I don't know how I would react if he moves bck to 2nd shift some part of me understands why he hasn't quit and the other half is upset at the fact that we are in this situation in other words he brought this on his own and now because of his actions I seem to pay the price for it...

No, he shouldn't quit his job.  Unfortunately, it might be a reality that he has to work that shift again.  But, his affair didn't start because of a shift...his affair started because he chose to cross that line, and felt something was "lacking" in his marriage, that apparently he thought this other woman could fix for him.  And it didn't work, did  it?  He recommitted to you, right?  So, I think the reason he's worried is because he knows you'll flip out, and your feelings are understandable.  If I were you, take this as an opportunity to strengthen your bond.  Talk with him, share your concerns, but tell him you believe in him, and your marriage, and no matter what, you'll be by his side IF he's by yours.  Creating a bond like that helps no matter what.  If he goes back to that shift, be mindful of how he acts, keep an eye on things and look for old patterns, but try not to cause too much turmoil over it.  Remember "self fulfilling prophecy", and try and rise above it.  Whatever he thought was "lacking" that caused him to stray, work with him extra hard.  If he is discussing his fears about it with you, and not hiding it from you, I think that's a GREAT sign!  Stay strong, and confident. He came back to YOU, right?

He should not quit his job unless he has a new job to go to. In my state jobs are so hard to find. I am so blessed to have one. To bad the OW would just quit!!!
