IDK, you just come off like you are filled with resentment towards him over the worry you are going through. You sure have some justification to be worried and have some resentment, but I would think you care more about your relationship than money though of course you can't entirely separate the two. I'm just saying, but I've been in positions where it's hard to find a job where you are respected and appreciated. I've also had to swallow my pride and accept crappy jobs for years. I mean, yeah you do need the money to survive and all that, but there is very much a personal cost to it. I also don't think your SOs job would have been secured nor lost by his response to an offer for a beer. If that was really that big of a deal to his employer then that says a lot more about them. I understand office politics are real, but it gets to a point where that just becomes downright petty. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:885819984] in My husband...

Honestly, we were already sort of on the verge of divorce before this, because of some other stuff. He was supposed to focus on repairing our marriage and hasn't at all. I've asked him to just schedule a marriage counseling session just to prove he wants to work on us. That was months ago. I remind him every now and then and he says he'll do it and never does. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt it's because of the job situation.</quote> It doesn't take months to schedule the appointment. I think that tells you where his priorities are.</quote> Yeah... I realize :(</quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

All I can say is: Best of luck, and I hope things get better for you two. I agree with this, but to a lesser degree. Be thankful you make six figures and are able to afford your mortgage payments. A lot of us are in significantly worse financial positions than you are, but manage to worry less. Sometimes the problem is people just lacking gratitude about their situations. I mean, there is certainly more to it than that and you've done a good job outlining the various issues you are dealing with, but it is very hard to hear someone who makes six figures complaining about financial issues. --- just tell them all your base doesn't belong to us because we were getting stoned...they'll understand-Ken156 <cite>TommyG663513 posted [p:885864858] in My husband...

Gotcha, losing half your income only matters when you make less money. Where we're from, a 100k salary is not that much. Median house prices are over 600k. Anyway, I'm not asking for anyone's sympathy. Just needed to vent about stuff. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:885867715] in My husband...
