If I told my husband, who's been unemployed for the last two and a half years, and only put in about 10 job apps in the area:
"Find a job in 30 days, whatever it is, or even the promise of a job, or you're going to be living with your mom."
I've begged and pleaded, but he's "too busy" with his online flight simulator, his radio controlled helis, driving 45 minutes to see his mom, etc etc etc. Any excuse to get out of job hunting.
Just the other day in the grocery, he asked me if I would pay his car insurance (two months behind) and his cell phone bill (3 months behind.) I'm the only income in our household, and I just don't make enough money for that. We're struggling to decide which bills to pay each month just to keep going, and I'm planning cheap, fattening foods to eat, just so we can have money for gas, groceries, etc.
I'm at my wit's end. His mom doesn't help matters at all... she keeps begging him to come visit her, knowing full well that he doesn't have the gas, and SHOULD be either helping me out at home, or job hunting, but he's too busy kissing her ***** to help me out.
I'm totally at a loss.
I'm sorry for such a round-about rant.

How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me;
How can I know so many; never really knowing anyone;
If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood."
