[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry but why are you putting all the onus on him? You had the lower paying job. Do you know what it’s like carrying the household on your shoulders?

You seem selfish and self-centered. OP, why don’t YOU get a restaurant job?!

OP. I hear you. We agreed together when I got my masters degree in education that it was ok for me to have the lower paying job based on the trajectory of his career. I also am trying to find a higher paying job, in addition to summer work. He did not need to leave his prior job, he chose to and it didnt work out and left us way worse off than we ever were.[/quote]
Presumably it was a joint decision. You can't blame him when you and your children are part of the reason he took the job (you keep spending more and more money, you said it yourself). Also you have no idea if his old job would have remained stable. [/quote]

+1 Op, you were lucky to have had a spouse who earned far more than you for a while, and now you don't.  You are blaming him for taking a higher paying job that would have helped cover your family's spending, and it didn't work out.  It's not like he lost his job due to misconduct or something.   Look at all the government employees who have lost/are losing their stable jobs.  You never know what would have happened in his prior job.

Just move on and try to make more money yourself and be supportive for a bit longer that your spouse doesn't want to abandon a once lucrative career since he's still interviewing regularly.[/quote]
