just sad...

I know this doesn't really have much to do with anything, but my husband is so depressed today. He has been to multiple interviews for two different companies, and none of them call him back after the third. He has been waiting for a call ALL day fromthe last company he interviewed for, but no luck. He realized that it is 5 o clock and has not got the call yet, and he has become extremely depressed and won't talk to me. I have no idea how to make him feel better. I wish I could. Just venting I guess. :(

There's a lot of stress when it comes to trying to get a job. It took me 6 months to land the job I have now. I was fine for a couple months, a little worried after 4 months and stressing like crazy the last two months.
I can imagine he's conflicted over his stress and his desire to be helpful to you in every way he can (I assume you're pregnant?). He's got to get keep at the job he has to make money, try to keep you comfortable, worry about the future with a new child and look for a most fitting job. It's really easy to just want to curl up and vegetate. The fact that you see this and are concerned is just super! Keep being there for him, show your appreciation for what he's doing and for his aspirations to do better. Sometimes a quite hug with no words is all it takes.

Awe thanks ladies I appreciate the sweet comments :) and its not that he doesn't have a job at all, its just he hates it, and it doesn't pay enough. His boss is umm...I don't have a nice way to say it so I won't haha but seriously coming back to this post just made me smile, so thank you ladies :)

emitch,  this will work out.  If your husband is really stressed about not having a job,  he'll get one.  He's one of those great guys who wants to support you and your family and make it work.  

Support him by saying you believe in him.  I believe in him,  too.

Odd, but my husband had administrative leave from the hospital where he was working just weeks before my delivery. He was so stressed out with everything from taking care of the baby to his work. But accdg to him it was good so he could spend more time with the baby and me, besides he still gets paid. Then everything gets back to normal a month after i have the baby.

I'm in the same boat with my husband...
My advice is don't be sad..somehow things do work out.
Hopefully your on wic and or food stamps and Medicaid.
Just be thankful for anything that you do have an focus everything on the one good thing.
We are at the point where even if my bd has to work at homedepot and Kroger and Walmart oh well he will do that. When we least expect it something turns around. We all go through good and bad seasons so don't feel alone at least yall have each other to get through and years later yall can look back and laugh at the bad stuff.
Best of luck to you both!
