Love: Today, my husband quit his stable job of 12 years at the bank...

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

Midlife crisis in style

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

Quit or fired?

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 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

Love story

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.

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

Do you have a job? If you don't get off your lazy ass and don't let him ruin your life and get a job.

Pretty sure you're partially responsible for this. IF he suddenly quit his job, maybe he was unhappy with his current situation.

So ... it's his wife's fault that he doesn't want to work at the bank anymore? Makes perfect sense.

81, yes it does. If for 12 years, you've been sitting at the office every day, doing a job you don't particularly enjoy, then to deal with the stress, you need some happiness at home. You know, some appreciation, some understanding, some friendly faces to talk to in your family. That'll help you to pull through. If your family treats you as another source of cash, then you'll get more and more tired and eventually you'll be unable to deal with it, so you'll decide to change something radically. One way to do it is to quit your job and try something else. Another way is to do it is attempt to endure, eventually breaking down.
