So my husband I have been married for a year and a half. He was active duty Marine’s for 4 years prior to us getting married. Since he’s been out (which is about 2&1/2 years) he’s had 10 jobs.

He works each job for about 3 months and then either gets fired or quits. I’ve talked to him on 3 different occasions about my concerns with this pattern and he’s blamed it on a slew of things from poor workplace environment to mental health issues to racism (he’s 1/2 latino).

He has a good job right now making $22/hr as a security guard at a hospital. He’s been there 6 weeks, is just getting off orientation, and is once again talking about getting a different job.

I suspect most of his job losses have to do with the way he talks or acts at work (he has some anger issues and tends to say whatever he wants).

We have a 1 year old now and a baby on the way. Im finishing nursing school in May 2023, but I can’t live with a man who can’t keep a job. I take a lot of pride in my work ethic and always have. He didn’t disclose his work history while we were dating and simply said he was “seasonal” or quit bc he got a better offer elsewhere. Now I know the pattern.

I just need some advice on what I should do as these conversations about my concerns get us nowhere and I can’t trust or rely on him to keep a job and keep a steady income.

Also, am I over reacting and I should I not worry about his employment pattern?
