Today, I got my third promotion at work in as many years. My husband congratulated me very briefly, before asking if this meant he no longer had to look for a job. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a promotion to management at work. My employer decided to give the 'non-management' employees a really nice raise. Which means the job I had before my promotion is now paying more than the job I have now. Did I just get demoted? 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, I found out that a co-worker of mine that I had originally hired, trained, and mentored to work in my department for the past 4 years had just got the promotion that I had applied for. He is now my boss. FML
Today, I got married and I'd invited everyone from work including my boss. His way of congratulating me was to mention that I'm out of a job. He said it was a good time to do it because he thought I would be too happy or too drunk to care. FML
Today, I got fired. Yesterday was my birthday and I was told I was getting a promotion. FML
Today, I got promoted. By promoted, I mean, given a much harder job with no training and no extra pay because someone went on maternity leave. They've already hired someone for my old position. FML
Today, I got promoted at work and was excited to tell my mom. When I called her, she immediately asked, “What does this mean for my retirement fund?” and then asked how much I was going to be making. I told her, and she responded, “Oh. That’s nice, but when are you getting a real job?” FML
Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, the store I work at got shut down and I got let go. Three days ago I got a promotion and a raise. FML
Today, after three weeks of my boss telling me how much he appreciates my hard work and has submitted my name up for a promotion, he called me into his office to announce I'm being laid off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Say yes, but that means he's gonna have to do the dishes, make the food, and do all the other household chores. That should set him right.

Hopefully he was joking... Or you landed yourself a lazy gold digger.

You need to nip this in the bud quickly, or you will always be taking care of him and the house (doesn't seem to be the type who would interrupt game play for anything as mundane as house work). And God forbid after you have kids, you ever ask him to change a diaper. You're eventually going to resent him, and he's only going to feel more entitled.

Thank you, Dr. Phil, for the amazing advice.

No need to get snarky. Talking from 30 years of married life, which seems to be twice as long as you've been on this planet. It's a fact of life; she is going to resent him if he shows no initiative to get a job, and he's going start acting like his hands are painted on. At least I didn't scream "Dump him!"

How much is enough money? Another dollar...and he needs to add to the another dollar...he may postpone looking for a bit but that will change...

Just make him do all the house work. That'll be enough to keep him busy for the whole day.

El hombre lluega hasta donde la mujer quiere. OP if you don't speak up, his lazy ass is going to drag it along and continue looking for work and beggin God not to find one.

Tell him that if he doesn't look for a job, he can forget about blow- and hand- as well

No offense, but your husband sounds lazy if he asked that.
