DH lost his job, what to do next?

[10NutNut]

DH works in what most people would regard as quite a difficult professional industry particularly with respect to relationships with colleagues (disagreements, backstabbings etc.).

DH was very high up in the pecking order, but unfortunately as time has progressed, it has become clear that he is not really up to the job, despite his bluster and hyperbole.

Anyway, DH has finally resigned from his role, several months after it became clear he is no longer respected by his colleagues.

Accommodation was provided through DH's work, we have two young DC, and a dog called Dilyn. I own a small flat that is not really big enough for all of us, and DH's home is currently let, so we can't move in there. We don't have anywhere to live, and we don't have any income.

DH says he will be able to earn money easily, drawing from his previous career as a journalist.

I am very nervous about our future. Can anyone offer any advice please. I am a SAHM.

Brilliant op 😂😂😂

Have you at least a tree house you could stay in temporarily?

LTB!

I think you and your husband have also planned a lavish late wedding party in another of his works accommodations? Can he hang on until the party's over?

I feel workhouses may be on the way back, I'm sure your family can apply for places if neither of you are gainfully employed.

I'm afraid that even Dilyn is tweeting against you. You must keep your dog away from both Larry the cat and laptop.

LTB.
You can do so much better than this deadbeat, lying, cheating idiot of a man.

Love it OP

Love it! Be sure to take the wallpaper.

Not sure I would have caught on without the mention of Dilyn!

It is ok, you are director of comms for a wildlife foundation! I think you’ll survive.

I think I've got an idea of the sort of job your husband had. If I'm right, then I believe that someone else used to do the same type of work. The one I'm thinking of was at one time very gung ho at the prospect of a good (?) war. Does your husband show any signs of feeling the same way? Because the first one went on to get a job as a Peace Envoy - do you think your DH might fancy doing the same? I'm sure if he put his mind to it he'd be just as successful at it as the first one.

Fear not op! DH normally has a helpful Latin quote for such occasions.

if that doesn’t lift your mood, you could LTb. You’ll find a supportive community of ex wives - I believe there’s even a FB group.

Either way great times are ahead! Taking back control! Levelling up! You’ll save £20m a week! It’s all going to be roses!

I also got has far as Dilyn before realising, if the dog hadn't had an unusual name I would have been fooled😂

He does not have an actual hairdresser surely?!

Don't try it for a leaving OP. Not even remotely amusing

just carefully peel the wallpaper and sell it!

You could retrain, perhaps your next job could be in cyber?

Oh hun, have a hand hold from me. What a mess. 💐

How long is his notice period?

Kick his butt to Job Centre tomorrow and sign up for UC.

Research the Food board,plenty of recipes on budget,you’ll easily feed your family with 1 chicken

He should get a job with just eat. Something is better than nothing

Have you tried the Russians? Don’t worry, no need to declare it or anything proper like that.

I hear Go Ape are hiring. He’ll need a penchant for the zip wire and be comfortable with his head in the clouds.

I hear that the circus are hiring.

Could he paint you like one of his French girls and sell that for a 20 that will tied you over the weekend
