[quote=Anonymous]OP, this is an “in sickness and in health” moment. You need to believe your husband that the job is detrimental to his mental health and you need to figure this out together. Can you create a budget that shows minimum earnings needed to stay in your house, can you supplement with savings for a bit, etc. Yes you can and should look for more work for yourself but I won’t pretend that’s as easy as others here might. And what he needs to do in order to have your support and cooperation is go to therapy. Be supportive but make that part non-negotiable. I had a similar issue with my DH albeit we’d always both worked. We both made $200kish He downshifted due to extreme job stress, halving his income. His improved mental state ended up vastly improving our family life, which had the unintended effect of turbocharging my career. Four years later I’m making $500k, he’s making $100k, and we’re all happy. [/quote]
