DH has form for refusing to discuss or talk about things if he doesn't want to. He'll just stonewall or change the subject. Thought I'd say that first.
About 8 months ago DH randomly decided to take voluntary redundancy at work as he wanted to work for himself. He is a specialist skilled tradesman and so it is a field he could work for himself in. This was solely his decision.
He had a couple of months of living off the redundancy pay and savings, and then did a few months' work for a friend who owns a business, which has now stopped. And he doesn't seem to have made any effort at all to find other work. I have suggested ways in which he could find work and offered to help him but he has all these conditions of places he refuses to work and certain things he refuses to do. He keeps saying he wants to "make a lot of money" but won't actually do anything! And we are fast running out of savings! He also refuses to job hunt as he wants to work for himself.
I work, and can and indeed have increased my hours but my earning capacity is nowhere near the earnings that he was earning previously. He also will not curb his spending and has in fact today bought a £500 bike!
I just a) resent being in an uncertain situation and b) resent the fact that he won't even talk about it.
I don't think he is depressed.
