A bad DH

AriansHubby · 04-03-2008, 04:37 PM

I don't understand why our life has to be difficult. As I have said in previous posts I haven't been the best of husbandsbut when I actualloy try it seems its still not enough.

I recently was laid off from my job Monday due to them scheduling to many workers. I was there about a month and prior to that I had been looking for a job for 3 weeks. So the bills started piling up and I didn't even make a dent in them. I recently got my last paycheck direct deposited and the phone company automatically took their due. Understandable but it has put me in a huge mess.

Financially we are about to fall so hard. I don't even have enough to buy a pack of smokes and it worries the hell out of me. I want to work on having our child and making sure Arian gets to the doctors but if I don't have the cash to go to work for something as simple as gas, what do I do? Your support would be great guys because I have no idea how to pull out of this one.

My thing is you can't control what your company does by laying you off.The one thing you can do if you haven't already get a resume together and get up as you normally would and go look for a job. Why does buying a pack of smokes concern you so much you mention you are having financial issues. Maybe this might be a good time to stop smoking. I'm a non-smoker but that is just my opinion. I know its hard but try to stay positive.

Well I tried to send a PM but I can't because I am too new.

I see you are in TN. If you live in Middle TN I could give you a couple leads on decent jobs.

Wow, that is so good of you to do th is for me. Yes, we both live in Middle Tennesse, but due to our security, I won't say what city. But yes we live in the vacinity of the Nashvile, Franklin, Spring Hill, Brentwood area. All within a reasonable driving distance. So yes, you can e-mail me at redclem@bellsouth.net if you don't want to post them here.

My husband has been struggling with a similar issue, so I have an inckling of how you're feeling. We got married a little over a year ago, and ever since then we've struggled financially. I became ill nine months ago, and while searching for the cause (still searching, oy!) we discovered I have PCOS and hypthyroid in January. At the same time, my husband got fired from his job, because he made the mistake of trying to find a second job, while on company hours (they'd cut him down to 16 hours a week at $7.00/hr, and he was our only income, so he panicked a little). We spent three weeks with no income at all, then he found his current job (full time custodian at a school, $10.10/hr) and we're doing better now. But we've been staying with a friend, and now we have to rent on our own again, and we simply don't have the money to get into a place! He's very stressed out and worried, and I know that us wanting to start a family, and him wanting me to be able to go to the doctor has him very worried. My heart goes out to you, as I know how hard it is on you to try and work to support your family. My dear husband gets so down about all of this, and I just try to ease his burden as I can. Remember that your wife loves you, and cling to her for support, okay?
