[quote=Anonymous]My husband lost his job in the first year we were married. Since then he has consistently found work and consistently been fired. He is in consulting. I understand that in consulting the pieces move. I also appreciate that he goes out again and gets work but he never seems to address the issues that get him laid off. He is hostile and likes to tell people what he thinks. He feels that this is his right He does this everywhere he goes. When he came to my work at a school I would ask him to be calm and polite at events. One evening he came to an event and he chewed out the parking attendant/employee because he had to wait in line (like everyone else) to park. Later that evening he screamed at a parent from the school because the person left his snack plate on a shared table. I was so humiliated and as a teacher concerned for my job but my husband was oblivious. My son also attended the schools so this was equally difficult. The school was a small community and we were humiliated. Recently, my husband was unemployed of 7 months. He found a great consulting job but was laid off in 2 weeks. 5 months later he found another prime job but was laid off on the first day. He claimed it was because someone returned to the job, but later I heard the personnel call and go over him about his issues. My patience has run thin but I am viewed as the terrible one by my son and my husband for not supporting the dad. Throughout our marriage my husband has needed coaching and patience. At first I really tried to help him but after awhile I could see that he was not changing his behavior and it was a waste of time. My husband has worn thin on all of his relationships and has no friends. He never leaves the house. He watches tv or reads for most of the day and then drinks starting at 5. He is in terrible shape and he never exercises. He is a terrible role model for ours son. He only has his siblings but hey are far away. On the phone, he blames me for his problems. He claims he pays all of the bills because he pay our low mortgage when I pay an equal amount to food and health care. I stayed in the marriage because of our son. He is now in 9th grade. I am afraid to leave because we have little money and our son is in a pivotal time for school. [/quote]
