[ - ] Okay, any helpful advice appreciated. This is long but I need straight up UB advice. During the past 2 years my husband has been out of work. I was a full time student but I went back to work to help support the family. Going back to work full time (with excessive overtime, sometimes working 100 hours a week to make up for the low pay) caused my gpa to slip so I decided to transition to an entry job in my soon-to-be field that had less hours. He was supposed to at least find a part time job anywhere, fast food even... and we could make it despite living in a high COL. Husband still could not(would not maybe? He never really applied places and spent a good portion of his time playing video games and sleeping) find a job and then his unemployment ended. He told me that he could do better in a new town because he would be ashamed to work a low status job in his home town so I quit my entry level job and we moved to a small town to live with my family until we could afford to rent a place on our own. Husband was again supposed to be looking for a job but instead had issues with asthma (which was legitimate) but then also after those issues were resolved, he would often lay around, not do anything, and be on Facebook all day. Meanwhile I am in school, volunteering in my field to get experience, bringing in money through work, etc. Eventually my relatives get tired of seeing him lay about and they have a falling out. He decides to go back to the city that we moved from to supposedly find work and save money so we can move back. It's been almost a month, he has put in some applications but they've been for penny ante jobs such as one place that paid solely commission for some industry he has no experience in. He was vocationally trained in a well paying career that he does not want to return too(his excessive absences caused him to be fired from his last job). He's living with his dad. I still live with family but I am in school and almost done, volunteering, working, etc. The marriage was struggling even prior to his job loss. He has 2 kids from a previous relationship (not marriage) and we have 2 kids so he has people to support(forget including me, even when I didn't work I had grants and scholarships so I was able to contribute to the house). Even at his old well paying job, he would often not go to work because he didn't feel like it. He would also be very cruel about my weight, he has often told me that he "settled for me", that he could do better, that he only married me because he was at a down time in his life, etc. I don't know what to do. I see an opportunity for me to take off running in terms of my life goals but I want to be married because I have children and I want to have a two parent family for them. However He seems okay with mediocrity and it's been nice being away from his drama. I never noticed this before or I didn't want to see it. Give it to me straight. TIA. 15 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Ok, I am going to give it to you straight and by the way, I am so sorry. I used to have your DH. he will never ever get another job again. He is ok with the status quo (even if he says he is not). He is ok with you pulling ALL of the weight and even better, he gets to sit back and do nothing. This is an innate character trait that will not go away. he will never ever find a job he'll want (there will always be something wrong with it). Not only that, but he has given you evidence that even if he does have a job, he does not take it seriously. [ Reply | More

Am really sorry too, OP. I think DH is depressed which would explain the overall lack of drive to get up off his butt and support his family. This lack of drive is only made worse by your OVERDRIVE to support the family so it's really hurting him inside. That being said, sounds like he resents you for being the one taking care of everything and he's lashing out (with those nasty comments about your weight etc) I think it's ultimatum time and you give him 1, 2, 3 months to get his act together completely or you are filing for divorce. You sound like a real gem, so keep focusing on you and your kids and if DH wakes up and realizes he's missing the boat on you then so be it - his loss! [ Reply | More

Oh and the fact that he puts you down is his insurance that you will never leave him. My ex used to do this with me. He's being intentionally cruel to you, refuses to support his 4 children, and is ok with his mommy paying his way. He is a bonafide loser and nothing will ever change that. The good news is, you sound incredibly hard-working and resourceful. I would personally quit my job and then file for divorce (so he cannot get alimony from you) [ Reply | More

DH called and asked if it was ok to bring home fireworks for the kids who are at our house today to celebrate. He works across the border in a state that sells the,, and is working today. I said absolutely no, they are illegal in our state. I had to turn around and tell ds no, dad could not bring fireworks home. Ds did not yell but he said "god mom I hate you" and "you ruin everything" and "you suck so hard." Also, that we once had fireworks on the 4th. I said, yes, and I objected then too, but at least no one calls the police on July 4. In May, the whole neighborhood just thinks we are all shooting each other up over here. Sigh.

Really? Agree to disagree then. I wouldn't wouldn't put my ds in half those clothes. At least the girl has dresses, shoes that could see my dd wearing. [ Reply | More

I only looked at the first four or five posts when I responded. Looked through some more and I guess you're right. I honestly am not a fan of either child's clothes though. [ Reply | More

np ITA. Though some of the girl stuff was bad (like the bell bottoms). The boy's stuff was super bad--dino t with seersucker shorts? Colors and fabrics didn't go together at all. [ Reply | More

Some women are really into clothes. Entire 300 page magazines full of ads exist to sell junk to them. There are more women like this than there are female engineers. [ Reply | More

[ - ] DD is four and we currently have playing soccer, which she loves! Would love to put her in another sport since summer is coming up, but I'v found that there aren't a lot of sports offered for four y/o at places, usually age for starting is around 7 y/o. Any suggestions? We did gymnastics and she did not like it. TIA! 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

IMO this really doesn't make a huge difference. I've worked with extremely intelligent, successful people who went to public high schools in Middle America. I currently work w/2 people who went to "TT" NYC privates and they're not identifiably different than anyone else in terms of success or intelligence. [ Reply | More
