This is going to be long-winded so good luck reading through to the end

I have been working with a contracting company for 5 years, Im on a really great rate and get awesome benefits, between my DH and I we basically only have to pay for house repayments and food each week, all other costs are covered through our employers.

So anyway, the company has lost its major client, and after 30th June will lay off most of our workers in the new financial year and ultimately this will affect the operations of the office, basically I will be doing next to nothing by myself in the office for 5 days a week, AND This is my dilemma!

My boss has already guaranteed my job and all benefits are safe! And I believe him, we have a really good working relationship, I have re-enrolled in TAFE to complete my diploma in accountancy and after that I will do my advanced diploma but in the meantime I will feel guilty about doing the study during work hours.

DH does not want me to get a new job as i wont be able to get the same deal anywhere else and thinks that if I do go, and we fall pregnant straight away that I wont be able to get maternity leave...what happens if we dont fall straight away?!

I just got off the phone to my DH and we were talking about something, when I made a joke that I will need to have extra long lunch breaks now to fill in my day, he snapped and lost it, saying that "you needn't think that you are going to be starting late, having long breaks and finishing early" which i replied saying "no that I will definetely be doing my 8 hours a day, but that will be all" and he replies "well no thats not happening, we are here to set ourselves up and secure our future blah blah blah....so you need to work as many hours as possible" my response was "so you expect me to sit in a dog box office for at least 5 hours a day, talking to nobody and doing nothing!?" Then he made some excuse that his phone was ringing and he had to go...

So now im torn, I think

1. Go and get another job, at least I will be happier (I used to work in a dog boxed size office when I first started here, by myself, and dont want that to happen again); OR
2. Just stick it out until end of year, finish my certificates and just see if we fall pregnant and if not, then decide if I can continue or if we are, then happily trod off into mat leave for a year!

Well if you made it to this point, congratulations, and thanks so much for reading. Any thoughts are welcome, I just need to get some clarity on the matter as Im extremely confused at the moment.
