Topic	My husband is going to lose his job any day now

It doesn't sound like your SO did everything he could do to make it work, but that stuff can be pretty difficult. 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. I do resent him to an extent. But it's not only because of this. There's more that's unrelated, but I'd rather not post it here. Sad_Face posted... KhlavicLanguage posted... KiwiTerraRizing posted... If you can't make it work on 6 figures you spend too much money. not everyone lives in boomerville, ohio TC already admitted to making a number of big investments; the house and cars. She's worried specifically about maintaining the house. The cars weren't big investments. The first is a 2002 that he bought new and paid off years ago. It has 200k miles and it still drives great. The other is a used car he paid for in cash. As a backup for when the other eventually falls apart. It was great value when he bought it. The house was a big purchase. We saved for years to buy it. Other than that, we're pretty frugal with spending. We pay credit cards in full every month. We have savings. Anyway, we talked more about our options yesterday and we should be fine it just won't be easy. It's really the thought of him being unemployed for another year that worries me. He was super depressed then too. <cite>Cleo_II posted [p:885834001] in My husband... [t:75727892]...</cite> <quote><cite>TommyG663513 posted...</cite> <quote>Bad jobs can be downright traumatic.
