How long is too long between jobs? I recently lost my job, at the beginning of October. So it’s almost been a month. I’ve been actively looking for a new job since I lost my old one, and found something promising. I just have to go in for the paper work and then I can start, so we’re trying to set up a time for that.

My fiancé said something to me this morning. Our son was crying because he was leaving for work and he said to me “if you’d just get a job, I wouldn’t have to work so damn hard” and I was like ???? I’m trying? And he’s like “well family dollar is hiring and I talked to the manager but you won’t do it, so” I won’t do it because the job I’m getting pays more and I can make my own hours. I tried to tell him that but he just kept bitching that I’ve been out of work for a month.

Is a month too long?
