[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]YOLO, man.  YOLO.  If you truly love your husband and want to support him, and you have something of a cushion, and you know he's that miserable, then let him do what he wants. [/quote]

NP. I used to agree with you. I was miserable at my job, and started looking for another position. I hadn't found one by the time my project was ending. The thought of staying and starting a new project there seemed unbearable-- like [i]anything[/i] had to be better. So I quit.

I was wrong. I couldn't find a job for two years. I depleted my savings, maxed out my credit cards. Couldn't get a career job, couldn't get hired at f'ing Walmart. Just recently, I [i]finally[/i] landed a low paying job that's kind of in my field. I'm grateful for it, but still miserable.

If I had stayed at my old job-- even if nothing changed for the better-- I'd be miserable. But, I'd be miserable with no debt, an emergency fund, and no two year gap in my resume.

OP, I understand how your dh feels. But, unless he's literally unable to handle continuing at his job, I'd suggest he stick it out until something else come along. [/quote]
