[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are always two sides to any story and the storyteller rarely presents him or herself in poor light.[/quote]

Do you offer this same critique and skepticism when it is a woman telling her story?[/quote]

It depends on the story. You act like it's all the same when every single story is different. If a woman came on here and said that her husband couldn't find a job after becoming unemployed for the sake of her career, I would absolutely say that you need to cut him some slack. That's not a gender issue, it's a relationship issue. The fact that you seem to find gender in everything - because you post this same reply in any thread started by a guy - makes you very small minded. You also act like women aren't ripped to shreds here on a daily basis. [/quote]

I tend to agree with you, but five years is a long time to not even be able to find part-time employment in any field.  Her kids are in school, so this isn't an issue of not being able to find employment that covers child care.  She has two degrees, so she can tutor for the SATs or offer private language lessons.  I won't knock someone for having trouble launching into a well-paying full time job, but to not be able to find anything to do, paid or voluntary, for five years is a problem that the OP needs to address with his wife.  She needs to get into counseling and see a career coach right away because she is not taking the right steps to get herself out of this situation. [/quote]
