My husband won’t let me be employed

I am married with two children. My husband took me into his house immediately I finished my Form Four exams and we have lived together since then. 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 the answer is always no. He says his wife cannot work in a place with many men and this is really putting me down. At this rate, I will never work anywhere and I am tired of staying idle at home because when one stays idle they get very funny ways of spending their time. Please advise me…
