[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When dh and I got married he has an extremely lucrative job. Lost the job and now is making about 1/4 his salary from before.  I also work ft.  Hopes of him getting a better job are slim, maybe in the future.  I nag him to apply and network.  He resents me. Our quality of life has just changed so much.  We have no money to do anything fun like eat at a restaurant or take a weekend away.  All our money goes to a reasonable mortgage and day care.  Can't have a second kid because we can't afford 2 kids in daycare.  Just depressed seeing all my other friends have more successful spouses, babies, trips, nice houses.  Just depressed.  I know it's pathetic and I need to be happy.  But we went from a hhi of 400k to around 150k.  All my expectations that we talk about, just an easier path, are poof.   I sound terrible but I am just really sad. I am thankful for being able to still afford our house etc. but just so depressed.    Vent over, go ahead an berate me.  [/quote]

You don't sound terrible. You sound like a woman going through a huge lifestyle adjustment, and that is HARD. Any chance of relocation to where you could get some help with the kids and better job prospects?[/quote]
