Question Hubby May Change Jobs

I knew he was very unhappy there, but I had no idea he was this miserable. He works in a auto body shop in Lafayette, about 35 -40 minutes from home. I guess the other few guys that work there don't talk with him and just generally ignore him for the most part.

He's going to talk with a guy he's known for about 20 years about working for him. The guy wants Rick, but Rick needs to make sure he'll be happier there. It's in our home town and will only be about 15 minutes from home. He's going to go talk with him on Monday. He probably won't be making quite as much, so it will most likely get even tighter around here. SUCKS!!!!

I am not real sure how I feel about it all. I don't want him to be miserable in a job he has to go to everyday, but he didn't plan very well. He doesn't know how or have any experience/skills to do anything else.

Just what I wanted at this age, to keep on struggling. Guess I'd better stop now, before this becomes something that should go in the VENT thread.

Aww Janet that sucks if your hubby is not happy at work, I can understand that. I hope if he gets this other job that he will be happier there. He should really assess the pros and cons , after a certain age its hard to get jobs that easy. I will keep you guys in my prayers and hope all works out well.. Good luck !

I know what you mean about the struggling at this age. I thought we'd be in a much different place at this age. After I became disabled 2 years ago we lost our house and had to move after 16 years. We had to rehome our 3 dogs and 2 cats. (we did manage to get Tucker, one of our dogs, back). Now my hubby is working one full time and two part time jobs and we still can't make ends meet. I hate living like this. Sorry, this thread isn't about me! I hope that your hubby can find something that makes him happy. With the price of gas, maybe the drop in salary won't be too bad since he won't have to drive far for this new job. And, you'll get to see more of him if he isn't commuting.

Suck that the money might be less. Do you think if he's happier, you'll be happier too? There's nothing worth more than happiness. If not, you better get to shopping! I hope something great works out from this change.

Janet, I too hope that things will work out to be a positive for you both!!! Maybe this is why he has been hard to live with. If he's unhappy at work, it's bound to affect things at home. Will be thinking about you, and praying for your family.

Hopefully the difference in the commute will help make up the difference in pay.
My prayers are with you!
