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

Uh, #51, has it ever crossed your mind that the wife also works, but that the family couldn't survive on a single income? I mean, it *is* 2013. Women work too.

"Not surviving" to the extent of becoming homeless is unlikely, especially because Denmark has an average minimum wage (negotiated between employers and unions) of $19/hour.

Well, I hope for their sake he is selling them wholesale to various retailers... that could be a decent job.

Hey if people didn't sell kites what would the Banks children and The people from Fidelity Fiduciary Bank do?

Ydi for not being prepared since it seems that, I'm assuming, you provide no income.

Wow... What position did he have at the bank? With a degree, I'm pretty sure after 12 years you'd be at least general manager or something...

That sounds pretty selfish- I guess unless you can live On just one income or if you have some huge saving......

If you loved your husband you would support him, I can't imagine bank work to be very exciting.

IT'S KITES. I'm just saying, leaving a job at a bank for the career of selling kites = not the best move. For all you know, OP has a job, but it might not be enough support for the both of them. This is especially true if he quits his job during what seems to be a mid-life crisis, and goes on TO SELL KITES. Get off your high horse before I push you off myself.

You let him watch Mary Poppins one too many times, didn't you?

Support your man and quit whining or leave him for a doctor or business exec
