I Helped My Fiancé Get Hired, Now He Wants Me to Quit My Job After We Marry

I’m a woman in my 30s with a stable career and financial independence. When I met my fiancé, he was unemployed but skilled in my field. I helped him update his CV, prepared him for interviews and introduced him to my company. He got the job and we were happy. Then the company introduced a rule: married couples can’t work together. One of us would have to resign after marriage. I assumed we would decide based on our roles. I’m more senior, I earn more, and I built my career long before him. He shocked me by saying I should resign because “I’m the man.” His family backed him up. Wedding plans stalled, we argue daily, and I feel betrayed. I’ve decided I won’t quit. I helped him get this job. If someone must leave, it shouldn’t be me. I’m prepared to fight to keep my career and ensure fairness.
