[quote=Anonymous]OP, is it possible that your husband is deeply depressed? In men, depression is often masked as anger. Losing his job, not being able to find another one, not succeeding in his business but clinging on to it (perhaps because he's afraid of not getting a job ,getting rejected/fired, etc)--all of this could contribute to massive, misunderstood depression that manifests on the one hand in apathy and on the other, anger. I think that for men, in particular, loss of professional identity/employment/workplace status can be devastating. It might explain his extreme anger around the topic. Im sorry you are experiencing such stress. But I don't think the answer is simply just "apply for a job"--unfortunately it seems to have some deeper emotional roots. Hopefully in counseling to address not just the unemployment but, more worryingly, the anger and tension, you and he will be able to work through some of this for the sake of your child.[/quote]
