[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does your husband want to do about the situation? [/quote]

OP here. I've been nicely encouraging him to explore other options but we have a hard time having an open conversation because he is always so busy and stressed. It feels like he (understandably) has zero mental capacity left to talk to me. And I think updating his resume after 10 years and job searching feels insurmountable on top of the work load right now. He is fiercely loyal (to a fault in this situation) and is proud of how long that he's been at the company. We both came from blue collar union families with pensions and the mentality of "put in my 30 years here and retire" and I'm trying to help him understand that it is very, very normal in the business world to work for several companies over your career. This is the company he interned with in college and then they hired him after graduation.[/quote]
That is noble, but his job will replace him in a nanosecond. 
Show him this thread. OPs husband they are using you. They are saving six salaries. Why haven’t you gotten a raise?

Encourage him to join Antiwork on Reddit for some perspective. [/quote]
