DH lost job in Dec., still isn't working. Now he's sinking into a depression. Horrible to say, but I am starting to hate him a little, as I am still working, caring for DBs, keeping house, etc. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Well, the "perfect" job may never come. Is he going to sponge off of you until Next Never? It's been 7 months. He needs to get his ass in gear, even if it's pouring lattes at Starbucks. [ Reply | More ]

ugh. I lost my job in December, too. Was lucky enough to find somehting in March, but even in that short time I was getting depressed. So, I can relate to his frustration, but it's not foing to get better if he can't get motivated. If he's not making his job search a FT gig, than he seriously needs to help around the house.
