Are you under his insurance or your own? Because that’s kind of a big deal. I feel like he should be doing something to make sure you guys still have support. I understand it’s hard and everything to lose a job but he still needs to get out there and find something. Try not to nag him too much because it might make it worse. Maybe sit down and have a conversation with him on how you feel about everything. I’m sure it’s hard on the both of you and as much as you need to be understanding of his feelings he also needs to be understanding of yours too
Husband lost his job am I being unreasonable?
My husband lost his job about the same time we learned I was pregnant. He had a few projects to finish up so his last day is this Thursday, and I am 9 weeks pregnant.
He had a month to start applying elsewhere and get a head start on searching, but he still hasn’t started yet. It’s a super emotional time for him, but it’s hard to balance the supportive wife role with the one who gently kicks his butt to get it moving if that makes sense.
I’ve been feeling like crap lately, because first trimester, but he’s been sleeping in so late and pretty much changing his hours from 8-5 to 9-3 since he’s stopped caring about his job. I’m trying to get him to stick to a schedule (ie out of bed at 8 every day and in bed by 12:30), but I’m afraid once his job ends he’ll be sleeping all day and I’ll just end up resenting him as I go to work nauseous and exhausted every day to support us.
Anyone have any words of support? My husband is an incredible man and I’m so grateful for him. This is such a tough time for him and a really shitty situation overall, and I’m trying to be sensitive to that, but he’s also got to get working on finding a job.

My husband got laid off due to his company being bought out and them laying off 40% of the workers. He was emotional as well because he worked so hard. I just kept encouraging him and boosting his self esteem. I helped him update his resume. When I wasn’t working myself, I would search the web to see who was hiring, and I’d make a list and numbers and addresses for my husband so when he had time he could call or drive down to the places and turn in a resume. He really appreciated that I was hands on helping him. Good luck!
