Sim leaves work/school

I have two sims I’m playing at the moment and whenever my female sim goes to work (which is the science career) and I travel with her, her Husband leaves work and comes straight home. I had him quite his job because he wasn’t making any money. My female sim I sent to work and when I travel with my male sim, my female sim comes home. I don’t know if this is a bug or not but it’s starting to get annoying when I can’t even have one sim leave the house without the other one not finishing a day of work. I do know there are other ways of making money but I do wish one sim can stay at work when leaving to go to another area. Please let me know if this a bug or not
