My Husband is Outrageous—Instead of job hunting, he’s asking for HELP from my parents????

I just need to vent, moms. These past few months, I’ve been so stressed. My husband recently resigned from his job because he said he was under a lot of stress—his boss was toxic, his colleagues were toxic, and the competition was unhealthy. He promised to find a new job soon, but until now, he hasn’t found one. Worse, he seems to be getting too comfortable with this situation. I come from a fairly well-off family, but from the beginning of our marriage, we agreed not to ask for anything from my family. I wanted us to be independent. But just yesterday, he actually asked me to seek help from my parents. I was so upset. How dare he ask me to do that when I’ve never even done it myself? And to top it off, my child will start school next year, and our expenses will definitely increase. I used to work too, but I resigned after giving birth—with his approval as well. Why can’t he be more driven to find a job like other husbands???????

Hello, is your husband actively looking for job? The job market is pretty bad right now so it could be that he is applying but is unable to secure one yet. Honestly, I would say just have more compassion towards your husband and be more understanding. Should there be anything, it's always good to have a proper conversation with your husband with a clear mind and calm manner. My two cents is to never start comparing your husband with other husbands.. Man have their ego and pride. Maybe just try to be a little kinder.. If he hasn't been actively looking for a job, it would be a good time to remind him why it's important he start searching, and to remind him that you and your child need his financial support.
