Scenario

When job loss and role changes create tension in marriages

My husband lost his job six months ago and we've been living off my income, but he's getting weird about me 'being the breadwinner' and I'm getting resentful that he seems more concerned with his ego than our survival. We're both scared and handling it terribly and I can feel us starting to blame each other for things that aren't really anyone's fault.

More people experience this than they realize.
