[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With so many women working men face a lot more competition in the workplace these days and a lot of men are struggling to keep up in the breadwinner role. I think there are a lot of men in your husband's situation.

That said your DH still needs to find a job.  Personally I would give him an ultimatum, find a job or I'm leaving.  Perhaps he needs to think about going to community college to get some new skills. Three years is a long time to go without employment.   He is comfortable with the situation because he knows he has you to fall back on.  Oh and I agree that you should cut any extras he has.  No cell phone, no video games, etc.  I wouldn't even give him gas money.  [/quote]

Would your advice be the same if a man was deciding whether to tell his wife who[b] unilaterally [/b]decided to give up a high paying career to be a SAHM that he was tired of supporting her and that he was cutting off her access to money until she cut back on her social and charity calendar and started generating some serious revenue?

Not that poster, but yes. The key issue here is that didn't decide together that he shouldn't work. Or she.  Yes, involuntary job loss happens. But sitting around when your family is financially suffering is a completely different thing.[/quote]
