I am getting divorced. How do you maKe yourself stay. The few glimpses I get of my nice husband are few and I keep getting let down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510331150682775221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-82502367699114146882010-02-27T08:45:37.560-06:002010-02-27T08:45:37.560-06:00That's wonderful about your hubby getting a jo...That's wonderful about your hubby getting a job. Of course "That Guy" is gone, your DH feels good about himself for being employed and he's taking his meds as prescribed.<br />I would praise him to the skies for having a job and make a big deal about using his salary (no matter how small) to pay bills. That way, he'll feel good about contributing to the family and he'll want to stay employed.<br />neither one of those jobs sounds right for you. A four-hour round trip commute for $12 an hour? My youngest son is a college student and he works on campus doing computer help desk stuff and he makes $16 an hour. Keep looking. You can do better.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-19018712471603966782010-02-26T15:48:25.282-06:002010-02-26T15:48:25.282-06:00It sounds like things are slowly getting better fo...It sounds like things are slowly getting better for you - yay!<br /><br />People have always told me to follow up on the jobs I apply for, so here I'll pass it on to you: when you apply for the job you want, call them a few days later and tell them you dropped off a resume and were wondering if they would like to discuss interview times, or something like that. If you call every couple of days, your name becomes memorable and your resume keeps getting put on the top of the pile. In theory.<br /><br />Good for DH as well! I hope he finds the work manageable and not too stressful. Maybe a little success is all he needs to keep going, you know?Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17657344985401890336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-32691098296863051032010-02-25T22:06:01.095-06:002010-02-25T22:06:01.095-06:00If you have the option to hang in there for a job ...If you have the option to hang in there for a job you feel better about then you should. My husband did a 2-4 hour daily commute (highly changeable traffic conditions) for several years and it really wore him down.<br /><br />Closer to home, especially with all you already have to do, is better. And definitely work with as many balanced people as you can!!<br /><br />Good luck with this job close to home!Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2339974062095553185.post-68856244065366833172010-02-25T20:06:58.747-06:002010-02-25T20:06:58.747-06:00Good luck tweaking!Good luck tweaking!GB's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08866513131959998883noreply@blogger.com
