Hubby and His Job Sitch

My husband (we're not married yet, we've just been together so long) hates his job.... I recently got a new job making twice as much every month that I used to. He doesn't make much. I tell him it's okay to quit, and look for another job. But he won't quit.. I don't know what to do or to tell him. It's frustrating because I know how he feels. He works for my dad and thats where I worked, and we're both trying so hard to get "out from underneath" my dad and his wrath and selfishness. Any advice on what to do or say to encourage him is much appreciated.

Re: Hubby and His Job Sitch

  • I would encourage him to start applying for other jobs.  Maybe you could also find some with his skills and show him how much he could be making or something to that extent if you think he'll be ok with it.

  • Don't pressure him. Let him figure this out for himself.

    Just out of curiosity are you engaged?

  • We are engaged. We've been together for the past 4 years, with a 2 year old Daughter.

     

    I was thinking about backing off since he's already so stressed out with it. But i just want him to be happy. and he's not.

    In posts I've seen on this topic, pressuring him in any way tends to backfire.

  • Try to gently encourage your fiance to apply for jobs.

  • Is he possibly depressed?  Perhaps a couple of appointments with a therapist would help. 
  • I have been trying to encourage my hubs to do so. I think I need to back off a little.

  • I fully agree. He seems very depressed. Lost his mother in 2009. Never mourned. He's got issues that I can't fix. Therapists are highly expensive though..

     

     

     

    Thanks all for the advice.

  • imagelynssmith11:

    I have been trying to encourage my hubs to do so. I think I need to back off a little.

    I don't really care, but was wondering why you either don't marry him or call him a fiance or whatever. I was with my husband for about 7 years before we got married and I was proud to call him my boyfriend or partner during that time.

    I would also suggest to your S/O that he look at classes that might be interesting to him if he isn't ready to leave his job. If nothing else, it might help him make friends with people who have similar interests.

  • Since you really don't care and all.... We haven't legally married for credit purposes. I don't call him anything other than my husband because I feel we are married and binded together as one (which, to me, is what marriage stands for). We also have a daughter together, and my morals are "no children out of wedlock". I'm wondering now, why I joined a board that lacked such classiness on being welcoming with open arms? I feel that I should be able to call him whatever I want, right? I'm proud to do so, also.

     Now, go on and question why those were my morals if it happened anyway, blah blah blah. I came for advice, not to be nit-picked about why I do or don't call my soul-mate, my partner in life, my HUSBAND, this or that.

    Be tasteful and leave the unneccessary comments and/or insinuations to yourself. I didn't ask for it nor will I silently accept it.

    Thanks to those who were giving and unjudging. Eff off to those who weren't.

     

    Deuces.

  • No one was critical of you and you were the person who brought this up. I've never heard of someone doing this and was interested in it, because why people do things is supper interesting, but didn't have a judgement about it and I'm sorry if what I wrote hurt your feelings. If I posted about something and then added "P.S I call my grandma my aunt" I wouldn't be surprised when people ask about it. 

    Watch out for the etiquette board on the theknot when you are wedding planning, those ladies are hardcore about this kind of thing. 

  • No hurt feelings, the "I don't really care, BUT" part kinda ticked me off. If you don't care, why ask?

     Why would you call your g-ma your aunt, when she could never possibly be that? However, a fiance', boyfriend, partner, can always possibly be a husband. Makes senes doesn't it? Yeah....

     

    Anyway, why so hardcore? What's it matter? I thought this was an advice board. Not a "Training on what to call the guy you sleep with" board?

     

    Bogus. I'll go elsewhere.

     

    Thanks again ladies!

  • Nike shoes Monday night?s Clippers achievement over the Orlando Magic was bedridden by an Achilles? bond abrasion to Chauncey Billups, who is a big acumen the Clippers are 15-7 and in additional abode in the Western Conference.

    On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?

    One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.

    Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

    Ask Lakers admirers about James Worthy breaking his leg just afore the alpha of the 1983 NBA playoffs, apparently costing the Lakers an NBA title.Jordan shoes Or ask them about Byron Scott and Magic Johnson both adversity broken hamstrings during the 1989 NBA Finals, with Scott affliction his afore Bold 1 and Johnson during Bnike sb online store    nike green soccer cleats    build your own nike shox    black nike running shoes for women    buy nike air force 1 online    buy nike sb shoes online    cole haan nike air boots sale    mens nike free 7.0    nike store promo codes

    old 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.

    Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)

    We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?

    So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
