Today, my husband quit his stable job of 12 years at the bank to pursue a career selling kites. If we don't end up homeless because of this, god knows we will when he has a real mid-life crisis. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband started his midlife crisis with a bang, or rather several bangs, as he admitted that there are two women out there pregnant with his babies. Oh, and he quit his job to escape the daily grind. Oh, and he remortgaged the house to buy a truck so we could go cross country. FML
Today, my husband decided he was finally going to quit his job. We literally bought a house last week. His job is/was easy, with pay way above his qualifications. After we'd talked about it FOR THE 50TH TIME, he did the opposite and texted the dept. head that he hates the company and wants to be part time at most. FML
Today, my husband had to quit his job. Five months ago, we paid a deposit on a brand new house, and the title and mortgage need to be finalized next week. His work is forcing him out because he wanted to do his job safely and to a high standard of workmanship. FML
Today, my husband insists he'll be able to make a career out of playing League of Legends. He says this with only $4 in our bank account because of his last brilliant career move. FML
Today, I found out my husband's new income since leaving his old job. He decided to leave a $130,000 job for a $47,000 job. FML
Today, I confronted my husband over the fact that despite me working two jobs to support us for the last three years, we're nowhere near our goal of buying a house. He actually had the brass balls to defend pissing my money down the drain on his ceramic cat collection. FML
Today, I quit my job and sent a mass mail on Facebook that I was moving to a different state with my long time boyfriend. He called me later that night to tell me we aren't moving after all. Now we are both jobless with loads of bills to pay by the end of the month. FML
Today, my wife quit her job, not wanting to go back to in person at her office, to be a stay-at-home mom. Tomorrow, for my birthday, I was going to tell her that I'm not in love with her, have found an apartment, and signed a 2-year lease. I can't afford the apartment, mortgage, and the kids' tuition. FML
Today, I finally quit the job that I've been complaining about. Before I could tell my husband, he informed me that he had been laid off, and was thankful we still had my income. FML
Today, my husband told his parents that he was quitting his job so that he could focus on school. They asked him what he was going to do for money. When I told them that I'd be the one working, they took one look at me and burst into laughter. FML

Tell him that you were going to pursue a career as a crack *****, so you won't become homeless

a man should be proud of what he does, even if it is selling kites, although that should have been his weekend job and not his primary job

I made a living selling bridges. It was a great business, until someone decided to make my customers synonymous with gullible people... Business hasn't been the same since.

He is most likely lowering his income for a divorce later. I have heard of business partners selling their shares of the companies to their buddies, then working at Mc Donalds for a while, so the judge can not say they have to pay large amounts of spouse payments. Can't squeeze blood from a rock.

if I ever get a divorce not of my own choosing I'm taking your advice
wlddog 14
LoL, i did not come up with it. But if she ends up becoming a greedy bitch you know the divorce is going to drag out forever. May as well bite the bullet and quit your good paying job.

Is there any place on earth, that you would make a good living selling sites? If anyone knows let OP know, so that OPs family could move there for a stable life.
jjessen 20
I know a good place to sell sites. It's called the Internet.

I meant kites. Dawn autocorrect. Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I usually spell check, but I guess that I forgot to.

In Afghanistan they like kites, it's like a national sport there. They mafe a movie about that theme, "The Kiterunner" I recommend it.

He needs to get his head out of the clouds. If he wants to do that he can always do it and pay you alimony instead of forcing you to suffer.
asb818 14
But alimony is based on the difference between his income and hers so she's screwed either way.

So you are suggesting a divorce? Stupid. OP go talk to your husband about this instead.

Do you have a job OP?

I am going to assume that she does, but seeing as they were married and he has had this job for 12 years, I am also assuming that they were both paying their share of bills. She's probably worried because her job alone wouldn't cover everything. On the other hand, if she doesn't have a job, it's time she finds one.

let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height. let's go fly a kite and send it soaring out where the air is clear out in the atmosphere oh let's go, fly a kite.

I've heard the demand on kites is about to skyrocket.

How is the kite business in today's economy? Sounds legit....
WearingHats 14
It's lofty.
buddy51 23
It's rising.....
Alexweber929 14
Eh, I think this is all blowing way out of proportion

The dope business is almost as high as the kite business.
