I didn't know where to put this, but relationships seems the most logical place.
We have had a rotten last year, lots of illness for me, so lots of stress and hardwork for dh, looking after us and working.
Anyway, he's been really unhappy at work for some months, since the company was taken over and the whole structure changed. He now hates his job, and since November has tried to talk to his boss about making changes to how he works. They've made promises to help, but naver carried them out. They've told him one thing, then done something else, about 7 times. In January he got a really good appraisal, and a payrise, but in February someone else with less experience was promoted above him, even tho' he was given reason to expect the promotion. He's been looking for another job, but not found anything yet.
Anyway, last thursday he resigned.
He says he will find a freelance contract once he's free to start, but you can't get those if you've got to work notice.
He's now much happier, we've had the best weekend with him for months, he's even up for sex, which he's been too depressed to consider for some time.
But I'm really worried. We have very little savings to fall back on, and I'm not quite ready to search for work yet. Even if I was, I doubt I could earn enough to keep us. What if he doesn't find a contract? The fixed rate on our mortgage runs out next month, and I was just going to try to renegotiate. Can't now, and the payment will go up just as his salary stops.
How do I keep my chin up. I cried when he'd gone out to work on Friday, I'm so very scared.
I guess I should trust his judgement, but this time he's skating on thin ice.
