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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

Well someone needs a change in mentality.

Get that lazy lout off the couch! I'm paralyzed with cancer and I have to work for a living.

If he's not going to work, he'd better be a pretty awesome house-husband.

Why not just an average house-husband?

I wonder if everyone would be so hostile towards your average housewife.

No, I've seen a few awesome stay at home dads but the vast majority I've seen are hard working family men. :). Just pick your future hubby right.

This depends on whether or not he does his share of working at home. Is he caring for children? Does he keep up the house? Does he do all the grocery shopping and cooking? OR is he a lazy moocher? OP didn't specify.

What's the problem? Sounds like you have a good job and in most couples only one works anyway. When you have children who's going to look after them if you both work full time? As long as he does the housework and has your dinner on the table when you get in it should never be an issue.

@49 Actually, both spouses generally work, unless they have young children (even then, many parents use daycare) or one spouse makes enough money to support the whole family. In my family, my mom has always been a stay-at-mom because she's unable to work.

I'd say nope but you might need a lawyer ;) unless he does the home maker duties then it's no different than a man working and a women being a home maker

Has he always been this lazy?

Leave him, OP. My boyfriend's brother is exactly like that. He lived off his inheritence for ten years and to this day does not have a steady job, choosing instead to mooch and manipulate soft hearted family members to make a living. IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. Find a man with some worth.
