[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ditto PP who said update his resume for him and take charge of applying to jobs for him. He’s too weighed down, he can’t get out of this by himself- he needs your help. 
Act as his personal assistant for a couple weeks and apply to some jobs. And maybe find a couple recruiters in his field that he can connect with to look for positions for him [/quote]

I would be livid if my spouse did this for me.[/quote]

not helpful.  
so you would rather keep working 18 hour days with no hope and so exhausted you can't fix the situation?  what's your solution?
[/quote]

I would continue to manage my own career.  If OP has an issue she can bring it up with her spouse, but it's his career, not hers. [/quote]

There isn’t a clear line between job and family now. So if the career is cutting into her quality of life she should be able to voice some concerns. [/quote]
Yes voice concerns from a family perspective.  Do not update his resume and start applying to positions.  I am positive that her husband has his own thoughts on his current position, what he wants to change and how to get there. [/quote]
I'm the PP who suggested updating the resume. I didn't say apply to jobs...just update the resume to take away that logistical challenge. I proofread my DH's PhD thesis and his first resume. I made a lot of substantive suggestions. I think it's totally bizarre that you'd be "livid" if your spouse helped you out with some writing/editing.[/quote]
