You just got laid off, you have no real leads,

[NFL_FAN]

your wife tells you she wants you out of the house in 48 hours all because she believes I should be taking care of her financially. What do you do....What do you do. No money, no income, jack ****! Oh yeah, 2 kids that I love dearly.

 

[vikesfan]

Hang in there man. Something will come up. I don't know if you are a religious man but God has always helped me. You might want to look into that as well (PM if you want). I am sure those kids love you dearly too. Maybe someone here can give you some leads.

 

[Pariah]

None of my business, but your wife should get her head on straight. And, if she really only keeps you around for your paycheck, you should take that paycheck somewhere else--along with your kids.

Sorry if that seems harsh, but your wife sounds way out of line. Getting laid off is hard enough as it is.

 

[ajcardfan]

If you didn't have the kids, you should've been out the door already. I agree that your wife is way out of line here. She's going to deprive her children of their dad because there's not enough money for her to spend? Who the hell does she think she is?

Maybe there is someone who can talk to her and tell her how screwed up her ultimatum is. If there is no one, try it yourself.

And your wife does what for a living?

Is she contributing to the situation or are you expected to do it all?

Sounds like you have an intollerant slacker on your hands. Tell the girl she needs to help too and not throw it all on you. It's a team effort and if those are her demands your team sucks. Sorry to be so blunt but there are women who contribute to any family. Some contribute more than the men. None of the good ones sit on their a** and demand to be taken care of.

Her dad didn't call her princess when you were dating did he? That was my dads rule #2 in the dating game. It's not good.

NFL, sorry to hear of your problems. Whatever you do, if she stands by her ultimatum, keep it civil with your wife if possible. You will always have the kids in common, even if you and your wife split up you will cross paths continually as the kids grow up. Start working on your resume or combing the papers for work, keep yourself busy. If you think your relationship is worth saving fight for it, but if its over, its over.

When one door closes another one opens. Good luck to you.

Well the wife is obviously under stress also. You two should get some counselling. At times of crisis people say and do things they regret. The blame game is not a healthy approach on either side.

i don't know if we have place for it somewhere on this board (I rarely get off the cards/suns boards), but we should have a community post for jobs wanted/needed. we all have some semblance of an idea what each other are like, and if we can offer one and other a hand in these areas on occasion, that would be terrific.

nfl - hang in there buddy. i hope you've at least already applied for unemployment. don't know about in az, but in some states it can recompense for close to 75% of your original sal.

Hope everything goes good for you. I agree with everyone else on this thread that communication is key in every relationship. If it was meant to be you then it was meant to be. Good luck and sorry to hear about you'r job. Also what do you do ??? Maybe I can help ?

Damn strait!

Tell your wife to get off her arse and make some money! Also you should think about getting out of the that relationship. Your love between your kids, and yourself is beyond all boundries (the way it should be) so hang on to them with your life. Your wife is only in it for the $$$, and so she can sit on her butt all day. It is time for that woman to leave! Get her out of there and don't give her jack!

I am glad that you showed some restraint. Cause for your wife to say something like that to you is awful, and I personally would have lost it.

NFL_FAN that is a REALLY tough tough situation.
I kinda don't have a REAL job right now but

Dog Kennels, Waiting Tables, Landscaping, any contractor helper position.

Are usually easy jobs to get hired into. The work is hard, and the money is ok but it will get some cash flow comming in.


ANYBODY OUT THERE that can help him out?

MAN, that sucks! :-(

I am with you on that Ouchie!

That was the first thing I put up on my board !

Peace, and good luck NFL_Fan.

And what was rule #1?

Mine was to meet the Mom as soon as possible, and decide if you'd want to be married to that, since there was a 90% chance they'e end up clones.

 

[Nick C]

Sorry to hear about your situation NFL. I was laid off almost two years ago. I agree with everyone else that you wife should be a little more supportive. Keep your chin up brother.

LOL! That was exactly rule #1!

Man that sucks, me and my wife were having problems at the end of last year but worked through it and everything is better now.

She would never say anything like that though, I quit my job a couple of years ago and was out of work and she picked up the slack until I found something new. I hope everything works out for you! Just keep your head up in time it will work out.
