Is it too late for a husband vent?

Zane hates his job. When the economy took a turn, they laid off a bunch of people, and his boss is such a bunghole that several others quit. They're terribly understaffed, so Zane is having to do several things he was expressly told when hired that he wouldn't have to do. He understands that, but his boss sets unrealistic expectations for one person trying to do three person's worth of work, talks down to all of the employees like they are five, and sees nothing wrong with randomly yelling at them for things he actually screwed up. Anyway, I get that Zane is miserable, and I do my absolute best to be supportive, give job searching suggestions, etc., but for the past two days, he has been sending me almost hourly texts about how miserable he is and how angry whatever boss just did made him and how he just wants to quit and how he is about to walk out the door and blah blah blah. I know he's not ACTUALLY going to do it, but it's stressing me to no end anyway. I started crying on the way to my haircut yesterday because he texted me about quitting. My hormones are starting to whack out, and I just can't handle the stress of thinking about trying to live on only my freelance income. ::end vent::

Re: Is it too late for a husband vent?

  • It's never too late to vent.That sucks.  Especially now.When I was pregnant, I had to tell my husband to take it easy on certain topics because of how easily I would breakdown.  You might want to have that talk sooner rather than later. 
  • It is stressful when they say that, even when you know they won't actually act on it.  Just try to remind yourself that he needs to vent so he doesn't actually go crazy and quit, so being there for him and listening to him complain is really important for his sanity.

  • I'm sorry Buddha.  Your husband's work story sounds exactly like mine (too much work, being talked to like I'm an idiot, etc).  I'm freakin miserable here, and have said the same things to my H in frustration.  I would never just quit, but sometimes it feels good to say it and get it off my chest.  I'd just tell him that you know he needs to vent, but that it's stressing you out in your delicate little state  :)
  • Why would you plan a pregnancy when you are unemployed and your husband wants to change jobs?

  • That was a serious question.
  • Well my serious answer would be that I am not unemployed, I am self-employed. And he's not actually going to change jobs, He's just venting. Being self-employed is great. There's nobody to lock you in a closet.

  • It really is a shame you're self-employed, Buddha.  Who will you complain to when your boss doesn't pay you for days you don't work?
