I am kind of angry at my husband right now. It feels sometimes like it's all about HIM, what HE needs and what HE wants.

I am unemployed and am applying for jobs. Suddenly, he hates his job and wants to quit/leave for another one. He tells me he cannot do that until I get a job (obviously).

Well, I'm already under the gun due to finances to find another job ASAP. BUT, that being said, I'd like to find a GOOD place to work - one that is a healthy work environment for myself. My last employer was toxic, and I grew to hate my job. I've rarely had a healthy work environment, so it's important to me to actually enjoy where I work. But now that my husband is miserable, I feel even more pressure to just take ANY job that comes along - even when I still have 18 weeks of unemployment left, which is over four months.

He knows how much I hated my last job. He heard about it almost every single night. And now he's pressuring me to even take a job that may be less money than what I was earning before, just so that HE can leave HIS job.

I told him just now that this is not really being fair to ME. And just a year ago he started this job, and I had to carry him financially for the first 6 months while he ramped up. Now I feel it's his turn to support me and allow me the time to find something that I will actually like.

I'm frustrated.
