[quote=Anonymous]My MBA-possessing husband was laid off in 2008 during the recession and has never held a full time job since. He has: taken classes to update his skills, volunteered, taken one-off jobs in his field (business, reporting and data analysis) to get his foot in the door, submitted resumes to every temp agency in the DMV, received coaching, attempted to start a small business, and made it to the final round of so many jobs that I've lost count. He's never had a single offer. In 13 years. He is a loving, stay-at-home dad, constantly in pursuit of a job. I tell you this because perhaps you can say to yourself "well, at least I'm not HER". But also to let you know - you must (if you can) get a full time job and assume that you are the primary breadwinner. Full stop. You cannot rely on another person to support you financially because sometimes they just can't, (for whatever reason) and this is something you don't control. Lastly, please do not share this with your husband - I'm sure he's already depressed enough. I know mine is.[/quote]
