[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being out of a job is understandable for 6 months to a year.  After that, a back up plan needs to be put in place where standards for what type of job and what salary he pulls down are dropped in a BIG WAY.  Drop the ego and bring in a paycheck.

Give him a deadline to get ANY job.  If he hasn't gotten a job by then, you kick him out.[/quote]

This. My husband ended up unemployed (20 year successful professional) due to downsizing and in between applications and interviews he certainly did more around the house and with the kids than ever before.  We agreed the that after unemployment ran out (about 4 months) he’d take any job - a major pay cut or retail, landscaping or whatever just to be working and earning money.  Back to school was also on the table.  I have no doubt that if it came to that he would have worked at fast food if he had to just to do something![/quote]

Retail and landscaping? Back to school was ‘also on the table?’ You sound like a horrible wife and partner. More like an overbearing mother than a spouse. [/quote]

Really? So a good wife works and does all the housework while the husband does what exactly? Contemplates life? Plays? This sounds like a mother/toddler relationship.[/quote]
