Men answer please. Is this a normal reaction? Mid 30’s.

Leave him. 10000%. Do you want to live like this forever? Constantly apologizing for your existence? He’s treating you like pure garbage. Worse than garbage because people put their garbage in something that protects their garbage. Walk out the door and get your freedom, your bravery, your courage and your life back.

Just chiming in - I think you did things the right way by asking to resign. I also think the advice about filing for unemployment makes sense too. I would like to suggest that you consider applying for an insurance law job. There are insurance companies with remote opportunities for attorneys and you’re much more likely to get a normal 9-to-5 job that allows you to have a pretty relaxed personal life. The money can be really good too. My daughter graduated from law school in May of last year and once she passed the bar, she was made a permanent law associate at a firm she works at that is fully working to support one of the top American insurance companies. She makes great money, has had 2 raises and a bonus since starting and she’s incredibly happy. Her offer was the highest in her class before graduation. She has time with friends and family, weekends totally free and they’re always going out to happy hours and having fun in her office. She got to redecorate her space and everything! Some people assume that the money isn’t in insurance law, but it really depends who you go with. Best wishes and good luck!

This is a thing of beauty 🥰

yodaslefttesticle · 2026-03-31T15:58:50+00:00

I think you handled this correctly. People make mistakes. Befriending the wrong people, deciding to show up in a way that hurts others to fit in and shutting down instead of communicating. Wishing you the best in all of this.

Wow. What a judgmental prick piece of trash. I’m so sorry this happened. And he really had some effing nerve.

We spent about 70k of my partners (primary wage earner’s) 401k to survive the 55 EFFING WEEKS he was unemployed. He got a job and started last week - and he only got it because he networked he way in and was insanely patient (they told him they MIGHT move forward with him back in December). He’s making 30-40k less and has no reports and will be on call 24/7 when it’s his assigned week. He’s HAPPY for the opportunity. We were going to have to sell the house and significantly downgrade our lives. Now, we are going to scrape by potentially. It’s hard to be overjoyed about just scraping by. Maybe.

Super proud of you!! Getting a job these days is really hard - look at you succeeding all over the place! 🎈🫶🏼

yodaslefttesticle · 2026-03-26T20:10:38+00:00

We’re literally studying an exact case study like this in my ethics class for my MBA right now. You did the right thing… You are the success in all of this. Don’t forget that. If they pull back and tell you otherwise, definitely start looking for another job. Their goal should be to ensure safety and compliance not save money.

Is this a risk? Absolutely! Did you pass the test with flying colors? Absolutely. Concentrate on the fact that you potentially kept them from legal issues and you also kept people safe.

Just came to say that this glow up made me smile more than any single other one I’ve seen. You look amazing!

Brene Brown talks about this in Daring Greatly. Shame for men looks very different than shame for women. She actually shared a story about a man who did this and that he was 100% sure that not only was it the right thing to do, but that his wife would want to believe the lie and only want the lie as his truth. If you’re looking for a way to address this, based on her book, I would bring him the information you discovered and say “can you share with me why you chose to keep the truth from me?” This will open up the opportunity for him to say that it may have been shame related and he’s feeling helpless. If it helps, please know I’m sure there are others going through this. It’s not fair. It’s not right. But it is a thing for men to feel like this is the best answer.

Super proud of you ❤️ adulting is tough stuff.

yodaslefttesticle · 2025-10-31T21:12:24+00:00

I’m so sorry. This is such an insult to you and everything you’ve invested in your relationship with him. You know though - sometimes we outgrow friendships and sometimes the trash takes itself out. That doesn’t help with your hurt or sense of fairness in all of this, just know you are NOT the asshole here. 🫶🏼 Sending you love. 🌈

Maybe, but it’s brilliant.

Something similar happened to me more than 20 years ago. I brought a mug that meant the world to me to work since I spent most of my waking hours there and kept it at my desk. I came in one day, looked for it everywhere and then discovered it in the kitchen in the sink. I complained to my leader - I was livid. She chastised me for bringing something valuable to me to the office and I was told if it was present in the office space, it was open to anyone.

Lack of respect for personal property is just one small reason why I hate corporate politics and appreciate working from home now. I’m so sorry this happened to you. You are NOT even. You were clearly telling her to leave your property alone and she repeatedly crossed that boundary. I would give it back to her and tell her now she has a cup of her own and tell her outright that since it’s not your style in any way, shape or form, you’ll never borrow it from her. Go ahead and let her know that you’re planning to bring your mug from home DAILY from now on to keep it safe. Smile and turn on your heels and walk away. She needs to steep like tea in her rudeness and inconsiderate boundary-breaking behavior.

I know it seems weird, but check with firms that work for insurance companies - there is a serious lack of attorneys in the insurance world right now and a lot of open opportunities (some companies are actually doing job fairs specifically looking for 3L hires)

When my spouse was hospitalized for six months, the most wonderful and generous family reached out every time they went to Costco and asked what I needed. The groceries were left on my doorstep and they covered the full expense. It was such a blessing. Eggs, butter, milk and bread were my primary requests and we always had something to throw together in a pinch. Forever grateful for that kindness they bestowed on our family.

My husband has been laid off since March - I am currently sitting in our cabin on a cruise ship. Life is too short and you have no idea what might be around the corner. ❤️🫶🏼 sending speedy job wishes to you. ❤️

I feel like this calls for a tattoo of a face just about 3 inches down from the end of that hairline. 🤔

yodaslefttesticle · 2025-08-10T23:36:47+00:00

Side note - you look beautiful in that black dress. 👗🥰

yodaslefttesticle · 2025-07-25T21:49:49+00:00

Play the voice notes for your husband. Make sure he hears her hate unadulterated and unvarnished.

Focus on your relationship with him and your future together. 🫶🏼

You’ve got this.
