[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]He gets feel-good hits when he helps others. I know spouses like this and it’s so annoying for their partner, because everyone else thinks they’re “such a good guy.”[/b]

Who does the shopping, cleaning, bill paying, yard work, etc.? If he’s unemployed he should do much more of that. He’s treating his time off like a sabbatical and ignoring the pressure it puts on you. He needs to treat the job hunt like a full-time job. Networking, maybe get an extra certification or skill, keep applying and keep the gas on that pedal until he has something in hand. What field is he in?

He is likely stressed and depressed about his job situation. But he’s still got to do what needs to be done. You should quietly consult an attorney and figure out what separation/divorce would look like.

I’m sorry you’re in this boat. I know how lonely it can feel when you can’t discuss it with your friends. [/quote]

Yes to the bolded. Gold stars from everyone else but wont do the mundane day-to-day work to keep a household running. Needs constant validation and dopamine hits. Usually related to phone addiction too! Like my husband can have his phone completely put away for 4-5 hours while out with friends but the second he is home its out at every opportunity. I am not even nagging him anymore. I just function around him. [/quote]
