I’m so angry at DH

Take half the money out of the savings, into an account of your own. That only you can access. He doesn’t get to spend all your savings and have 6 months off. And you’ll have a fuck off fund for when you inevitably have to leave him.

He isn’t acting as a team member, you don’t have to either.

That seems a very long winded way of saying "you didnt, I made it up"

Honestly, I'd leave him 😆
He has shown you no respect by talking to you about his decision or given any thought of the consequences. I'd sell your house to get yourself a little apartment and as you work, you can support yourself. Let him fend for himself.

So where is what I wrote indication of a threat or ultimatum?

Maybe she likes her job enough to stay. He couldn't.

I can see what you've written. "Diddums" etc.

She said with no consultation with her.
That to me is arrogant.

It is okay for his wife to be a slave though!

Where have i issued ultimatums or communicated in threats? Are you ok?

You dont even know me, wind your neck in.

Hopefully he doesn't put the heating on during the day? If so, that has to stop.

Yes, ive lost all humanity because I think its a dick move just walking out of a job over a few words 🤣

"Humanity".....lolz.

So he wants his wife and kids to take care of him the rest of his life?

You're not on the solid ground you thought you were. He made a huge unilateral decision that will upend your lives.

I absolutely would end a marriage over an able bodied person refusing to work when they were able and there's no childcare responsibilities or disabilities involved with no discussion. I'd be seeing a lawyer ASAP to find out my options.

You sound like a right catch. What age were you when you lost the last of your humanity?

Ahhh diddums, he doesn't like harsh words being said to him so his job is unbearable 🙄

Tough titties. You cant just walk out of a job when you have joint responsibilities for finances.

Op id find it hard to respect him after this.

Maybe because he had to leave his job suddenly and so he needs to reset. You know like humans might need to...

ODFOD with your assumptions about my relationship with my DH! I've left a job suddenly, but I discussed my plans with my DH and got my skates on and secured another almost immediately. I didn't just unilaterally decide to retire to stay at home baking cakes and watching daytime telly, which seems to be what the OP's DH has done.

He just needs to get another job asap and understand you can’t just flounce out of a job without having another one lined up. Tell him in no uncertain terms you will not be carrying him or burning through savings while he slacks about at home.
make sure he is speaking to recruiters and applying for jobs, like it is a full time job.
I know someone whose husband has done this a couple of times, clearly doesn’t want to work much now and it has left them in a real mess financially. Don’t let that happen to you.

To add, I am a few years younger but have no intention of giving up work until the children have left education.

I would find this totally intolerable too! My DH is giving up work at 59 at the end of the year (and we have 3 secondary school aged children) which is annoying enough but he has savings and investments and mortgage paid off last year so it is actually not going to affect us too much once the outgoings of train fares and dog walkers and child benefit tax are taken away. If he had tried to pull this stunt 10 years ago I would not have accepted it at all.
He can destress for a few weeks then find another job, hope he is able to see your POV about this.

You need a serious talk where you explain clearly that you don't want to keep two people on your salary. So either he pays his way towards your joint lifestyle, or you would need to plan to go your seperate ways so you only need to keep yourself. Assuming this is how you feel of course, and that you'd be prepared to follow it through.
It's helpful to have an idea of how much you need him to earn to cover his share, because it may be an option for him to take a low stress low pay job as a compromise, or to work part time, provided he brings in the necessary amount.
You may also need to think through your financial past and consider whether there have been times when he's contributed more than you (leaving aside child care commitments) because if he's been the higher or only earner for some periods, then he will no doubt point that out, so you may be expected to allow a compromise that makes that fair.

Oh dear. Sounds like a midlife crisis.
Could you support him in having say another couple of weeks as free time while he works out what he wants to do next? Emphasising that he must get a job unless he can suggest an acceptable way for you both to retire and enjoy free time. He may need, and be able to arrange, a change of career.

OP, is there something more to this?

My DH was made redundant at around 50. He decided he wanted a break; I’d had two years off when the children were born and he’d worked solidly since 21. I, of course, thought he’d never find another job and was so worried (kids at uni). My salary could cover the mortgage and bills but he got a good pay out - he wanted to use that to live on whilst I saw it as an opportunity to bank it.

I decided I had to trust him and understand he needed a break. He took three months, then started looking and was back in work within another month.

It’s hard not to worry but you have savings, can live on your salary and maybe he just needs to take a moment. It probably needs a time limit on it and an agreement that he will work again. But maybe he needs a MH break? Time for a full and frank conversation and maybe listen to what he is saying?

Oh my. I would lose the plot. Is he unwell? You are definitely not being unreasonable.
