[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH quit his horrible job before finding a new one. He was depressed and it was ruining his health. I could not stand seeing my husband so upset.

However, i do work FT, so I carried the household for a while.

He quickly found a new job after decompressing. His new job is closer to home, more money, and more respect. I think it all depends on what field you are in. Also, when he quit he had a lot of people reach out to him.[/quote]

We're in the exact same situation. Sometimes the consequences of staying are just too much. [/quote]

Yes, it was such a relief for both of us when he quit, the financial pinch was worth it a million times over.  It also made me so grateful that I stayed in the workforce and was able to give my husband this option, since then I've never questioned my decision to work after my children were born. He would come home from work so upset, it would make my blood boil, I would be so angry at his situation. Finally I had enough and I told him FUCK IT. Go in there and tell them to take the job and shove it up their asses.  The kids had their dad for a good part of the summer and dad was able to exercise, eat well and generally feel like a human again.

The whole situation made us so much stronger. I know that my DH will always have my back and if I'm ever have my back against the wall, he'll be there for me, supporting me 100%.  Not to mention, we are now much more careful with our money, just so we both know we will never be trapped in a horrible soul sucking job.[/quote]

Thanks PPs for sharing your stories. Do you have any tips on saving money to share with me? Unfortunately I cannot work so that option is out. He graduates from school soon so getting a new job will be an option very soon. For now, all I can do to support him is to take care of the house, the kids and save money. [/quote]
