Quick background....

Husband and I didn't want to do daycare while our kiddo was a baby so husband stayed home and I had no choice but to keep working at a job I absolutely HATE since I made a lot more money than him.

Fast forward, kiddo is 14 months. I I'm okay with daycare now since he's no longer a baby baby and also, I need to worry about my happiness/sanity and thus NEED to quit my shi**y job. I've been applying to a ton of places but no matter where I look, I will be looking at a pay cut of at least $10-$15 less per hour. I'm okay with this pay cut because it means I can finally leave a job that I have HATED for over 10 years and I know in time I can work my way up the ladder.

Because of my future pay cut (I haven't been hired anywhere yet) my husband will need to go back to work. In a perfect world I wish he could be the only one who works and I stay home but there's no way he'll find a job that pays him enough for me to stay home.

My dilemma, I'm struggling with finding a decent paying job and I have a degree and great resume so I'm pretty sure my hubby will struggle even more than me to find a decent job.

However, my hubby's old boss had asked for him to return to work about 8 months ago and he even offered him a raise. My husband turned it down because our kiddo was too young still. Last week, my hubby's old boss asked him to work 2 days for him and my husband did. I was hoping my husband would have taken the opportunity and asked his boss if the offer from 8 months ago was still on the table but he didn't. He said his old boss didn't ask him to come back permanently and for whatever reason, my husband didn't bring it up either.

I have his old boss' daughter cellphone number and I'm tempted to text her about my husband needing to go back to work soon with the hopes that she will mention it to her dad. I would obviously ask her to not tell my hubby of me texting her but I'm not close to her so there's no way of knowing if she would tell my husband or if this would come back and bite me in a$$.

I don't want to interfere but I'm also tired of situation and I just don't know if my husband has it in him to find a job any time soon. He's not lazy but I personally think he has gotten used to and comfortable with staying home and not working.

Obviously I can't talk to my hubby about this so I'm asking for opinions on here.

Should I text her or should I just let it be....?
