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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Handling kites > Handling money, apparently.

Suggest that he try to get his job back and sell kites online. When (if) the kite business does well, then he can make it a full time career move.

Tell him to take his kite out in a storm. Maybe he can get some sense struck into him.

Did he get the idea while kiting a check at his bank?

A good husband would support his family. Marriage is a partnership, you shouldn't quit your job without discussing it with your spouse.

I'm guessing the OP has no job, or else they wouldn't be at risk of homelessness. In that case, the OP should quit feeling entitled to other people's income and get a job, instead of trying to prevent her husband from pursuing the career he likes.

Often it takes two incomes to support a family. She may have a job, but its just not enough alone to support them. Plus, even if she didn't, it could be something her husband is fine with- it doesn't mean she feels entitled to his money. They're married, it could very well be their money if they consider it so.

What a supportive wife! Well done... Not! Are you afraid you'll have to find a job? Or just upset you might have to cut back on designer clothes a return your platinum credit cards?

Or maybe they need both incomes for what little try have and the husband has now put all the burden on his wife? If my husband did that I'd be pissed because in a partnership you need to be equals.
