In your shoes I would start working out for an hour daily. You need some type of release or you’re going to be a ball of nerves. Especially with your husband being unsupportive and dumping every intrusive thought on your shoulders.

Beyond that, you both need to cut back your spending and figure out how to get through at least 6 months of unemployment.

Yes, this. You need to voice to him that you are doing your best and he needs to back off because it is making things worse. He is allowed to have his own feelings regarding your job, or lack thereof, but given that you are the one who is losing your job and is looking for a new one, he needs to put his feelings second or vent to someone else about them.

When both spouses experience the same thing (i.e. the illness of a child), it can be really hard because they both have a right to want their feelings to be put first, but that doesn't work. That's why marriages with children with difficulties (illness, delays, etc.) have such a high divorce rate.[/quote]
