stand by your man

being angry at him won't help him get another job
if there's tension between you two...during the worst possible times...it's going to push him to make worse decisions
you mad, but he needs support right now not another person dumpin on him
that's what you would want him to do if roles were switched, i don't even have to ask, i know you do
he's half your income right? then helpin him find another job is a sound investment for both of you

you sound like you don't wanna be the breadwinner
well then honey you gotta help his ass cause that can often be a tough expectation to meet in this decade
little things like reviewing his resumes, applications, references
offer to do mock interviews with him or find someone familiar with the position to do it
don't you do stuff like that when you applying some place?
why not help or find someone to help him with it? even if he doesn't want it

if you just cross your arms and say "that's all his responsibility", then you're not maximizing your odds of him finding a better employment (an investment that affects both of you)

you said you been in this situation before with him
okay then look at what did NOT work and do things different
resentment ain't gonna pay them bills


What's with all the weird assumptions?

I've been the bread winner before and I'm prepared to do it again. I'm worried about how long it will take to find something else. We won't be able to keep our house on just my salary alone. I live in a city where it's extremely difficult to own a home on one income alone.

And I've already helped with his resume. Several times. As well as interview prepping. I've sent him several links to open positions he could apply to as well. He interviews very well (I've listened to phone interviews). Things don't work out for some reason or another.
