My jobless hubby wants me to resign

Eve Woman

I am married and working as a civil servant in Murang’a town. My husband has not had a stable job since he was retrenched in 1999. I received a letter transferring me to Sotik and the decision is final. My husband cannot sustain nor take care of himself, and I may not afford to travel every now and then. He has vowed not to come with me, saying he cannot follow a woman and he is asking me to resign. My job is our main source of income, but he seems focused on staying in Murang’a. I don’t know what to do. Going seems the only viable option, but it may cost me my marriage.
