[quote=Anonymous][quote]I just got fired from my most recent job, and my husband and I had a conversation. He said he thinks [b]I’m a bad employee and that maybe I should just stay home[/b]. That really stung. He even said that maybe I’m just “[b]not cut out for a career[/b]” and that he “[b]wants someone more stable[/b]” to take care of the kids. He also mentioned that he feels like I’ve been “[b]half-assing[/b]”, my jobs and that it’s affecting the family.[/quote]

If my spouse ever spoke to me like this it would be a cliff we'd either back away from slowly, or drive over. There is so much contempt in this language it's hard to believe it wasn't shouted at you in a fight that just got out of hand. Maybe it was. But if someone looked at me calmly and said these things I would not be able to un-hear it. And I would never, never, depend on someone like this to stay with me. I'd say he had one foot out the door but he's suggesting you stop working. So he may not want to leave, but is going to make sure you can't either.
