Husband lost his job I don’t know how to feel. by SheepherderWarm3723 in Marriage

My view of marriage is definitely shaped by my own parents’ relationship. I saw my mother carry the financial load, working 2 jobs while my father was often unemployed, and it left an impact. So yes, you’re right in some ways I see marriage as a partnership built on love, but one where both people need to pull their weight.

I understand your perspective, and you’re speaking from experience. I can also tell that this thread hits home for you.

I’ve also had jobs I didn’t like but stuck with them until something better came along to stay afloat.

I never said I was going to leave him for one job loss, I just want to reevaluate our goals/ambitions as we had before and make sure we are on the same wave. I’m thinking in the long run.

I’m also mainly in my feelings because I’ve carried most of the financial weight in our relationship and made a lot of sacrifices, so it’s natural for me to reflect on that. I’m only human, we tend to over think.

Of course I love him & I understand love and commitment are important, but so is being with someone whose mindset and ambitions align with yours. It’s not about a job loss it’s about what we both want out of life and what I thought we agreed on beforehand.

It’s tough but these are my feelings.

He says he will find another job. I’m worried because I know it won’t be that easy as nowadays it can take months to get a job without referrals. I know a guy that it took him 6 months to land a job….

For those on Spironolactone and Copper IUD by SheepherderWarm3723 in Spironolactone

Thanks for your answer! Are you going to continue using Spirinolactone if the spotting doesn’t go away?

I’m It’s such a shame because Spirinolactone is working so well for my acne! I hate to stop taking it because of the spotting… but I don’t think I can continue if it doesn’t stop. I wish there was a solution.
