[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so weird that we are all discussing this man's professional life in detail, but we are not even allowed to ask why the OP doesn't work.

It's not an insult. If you are very concerned, why not pick up a part time job? Single-handedly providing for a family can be very stressful. Maybe your DH would appreciate the effort you are making instead of always trying to work on him.

You said you were a SAHM for a while, but you could probably get a PT retail job or admin. job.

Because OP's question is only tangentially related to family income.  She's looking for ways to help husband land a new job because he's getting depressed and feeling hopeless about his prospects after several promising attempts failed to result in getting hired.  If OP could add something to the family income, of course that would be nice but it wouldn't address the real issue, which is her husband's sense of value in the workplace, ambition, age, professional identity, career expectations.  In other words, this post isn't about money.[/quote]
