Well, he quit...

Kristin&Kelly09 · February 2011

DH sent the owner of the company an email this morning to take the severance package. Today is his last day of work and he will met with the owner tomorrow to give him the keys to the company car and to get his severance check.

Yesterday I was freaking out and today I am getting a little more use to the idea. This whole thing is hard for me since I am such a planner. We talked last night and looked at finances and we should be fine for the next 3-4 months. After that, it will be freak out time! I am confident in DH's ability to get a new position soon, so I hope the $$ we get will just be a nice cushion to add to our savings account.

I am really trying to look at this like it is a blessing in disguise since I know DH was unhappy with what he was doing. Now I just have to keep it together in front of him but I may be coming here to post my total freakouts/break downs about this whole situation with you ladies.

Deep breath...sounds like you guys are making rational decisions and you can always come here to vent/freak out.

As a fellow planner, I understand how stressed you might be feeling about the situation. I'm sure your DH knows too and will be doing what he can to find something (he hopefully likes tons better) very soon.

I do hope this turns into a blessing in disguise and your DH is able to gain some clarity on what he wants to do next!

3-4 months is a good safety net/cushion. I'm sure during that time he'll be able to find something if he's persistent and dedicated.

I understand the planner type personality, I'm the same way. Just stay positive and definitely come here when you need to vent or have a freak out moment. But then go back to calm for your little baby

It's definitely a scary position to be in, but you guys seem to be such a good team working through this & that's so important. Best of luck to you & DH. Feel free to freak out on us as needed. I'm sending hopeful thoughts that there are better things in store for you all!

I am right there with you, girl. It sounds like you guys have a good plan and are on the same page which is always good. DH and I are in the same boat, but I'm like you. I'm stradling the line of expressing my feelings and concerns and having an emotional freak out!

I hope he finds something soon. Best of luck to him and you in the meantime.

I hope it is a blessing in disguise and he finds something he loves.

You guys will find a way to make it work. This way, at least you have a head start!

I was forced to quit my job in November and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. Keep your head up, you guys will be fine.

While I understand how scary this may seem, I agree with others. I hope this is a blessing and that your DH finds something that he's much happier in. Feel free to come and vent any time!

I would definitely be freaking out a bit too, since I'm a planner as well. I hope everything works out and he finds a new job quickly and that he is happier in it!!

Well, he quit...
