Help...quick!
DH will be calling from work in couple hours. I found out that he didn't get hired at the place he wanted to. His current job is terrible. He's at work now, working until 12 am. Do I tell him when he calls, tell him when he gets home at 12:30 am (after working his 2nd 16 hour shift in a row), or do I tell him after a full night rest tomorrow morning. I can't decide. Help!

Re: Help...quick!
Hm, I think after work is the worst idea, he'll be extra tired and it might disturb his sleep.
If you wait until tomorrow, he has the sleep behind him to potentially be better equiped to deal with it, but he might be upset you kept the info even if your intentions were good.
I think I'd do it like a bandaid- RIGHT OFF! Let him hear it and start digesting it, especially when he can focus on work (as crappy as it might be) and not just get stuck in a mental rut.
No matter when you tell him, that sucks. :-(
This. I know DH would be mad if I kept him hoping for another day that the light might be at the end of the tunnel. So I'd probably call him or somehow get a hold of him and tell him. Or at least do it ASAP. It will suck, but it will no matter what, so you'd be better off letting him work on getting over it sooner rather than later.
Thank you! I totally took your advice...which I was leaning towards not telling him until tomorrow. But I told him just now and he's okay with it. Bummed, but okay.
As I mentioned, he's working a 16 hour shift. He just had his first break....after working 12 hours. So not legal.
Sorry he had to get that news.
I think telling him right away was probably best, too. Harder, but then at least he has some time to let it sit.
Hope better things come soon!
