[quote=Anonymous]Hang in there OP. I was there too while pregnant. I grew to resent my husband. And it was really hard to recover from that. It was hard to understand that it wasn't because he didn't care. He had so much anxiety in applying that he would just sit there and watch tv all day. He eventually set up a bunch of lunch meetings. And landed himself a fellowship. Although he's not bringing in a salary to support our family (it covers his bills and expenses), it's so so nice to see him out and being himself again. The one thing he often complained about was that I wasn't emotionally supportive to his needs. I honestly still don't know what that means. I was pregnant, tired, and working so much to make sure we were ok. And at that time, that's all I could offer. So if you're not at your breaking point just yet, be emotionally supportive and highlight his strengths that will motivate him to apply for jobs. [/quote]
