Confessions: My husband won’t let me work ‘in a place with many men’

I am married with two children. My husband took me into his house as soon as I finished my Form Four exams and we have lived together since. He paid my college fees and I was able to get a diploma in Early Childhood Development. I have attended several interviews most of which have been successful but he will not let me work. Every time I get a job, he goes to that place and checks if there are young men working there and after his visits to the places, the answer is always no. Even where I have still gone ahead and worked, he comes by often and has even started fights with colleagues accusing them of wanting me. He says his wife cannot work in a place where there are many men and this is really putting me down. At this rate, I will never get to work anywhere and I am tired of staying idle at home. Please advise me.
