Today, I finally quit the job that I've been complaining about. Before I could tell my husband, he informed me that he had been laid off, and was thankful we still had my income. FML

Why didnt you consult your husband before quitting?

At least you had a job! Even if it sucked, in today's economy you should have just sucked it up and looked for something better before you quit. ydi completely.

YDI first off for not talking to your significant other before doing something like that. Second, who quits their job before you have anything else lined up to do??

You quit a job in the middle of the worst economic climate since the Great Depression, simply because you didn't like it. I consider myself to be an articulate person, but right now I have no words for how unbelievably stupid and immature you are.

You quit you job without discussing it with your husband? You totally deserved it, idiot.

you really should have discussed it with your husband before you quit. YDI in that respects. If you're both paying for things together, the most polite thing to do is at least give him warning he'll be financially responsible for both of you for a while. That's kind of common sense there. If i was married to someone and we both payed the bills, i'ld be VERY angry with the fact they will just expect me to suddenly support both of us without even having the decency to discuss it with me first. And sure, she should have kept her job in this 'economic climate' but it's kind of her decision. Whether you think it's stupid, there isn't a law that says 'you have to be grateful for having a job and therefor never quit'. Seriously if someone is really suffering from depression/suicidal because of their job (speaking generally, no sure if OP actually is), i really think i wouldn't give a shit about not having any money for some time if it meant being happier and/or having my health back. plus now someone who really wants her job can have it instead. OP, i hope you thought this through... because i'm thinking you're going to struggle finding another job..

It might be her decision to quit one job without finding another first, but I feel that in doing so she loses all complaining rights.

Its called communication in a marriage . it's something you do when you make a big decision that will have an impact on him and your household. try it sometime.

that's very selfish of you. with this economy you should be thankful to have had a job. F your husbands life for having a wife who won't even discuss major decisions with him. but YDI.
