My friends out there, I'll be brief & to the point.
My husband has just lost his job after a struggle of 6 months. He'll have to resign & will get some money which will see us thru for another 6 months (he's spent all his saving these past 6 months). He says that he'll get another job pretty soon, but he's a free spirit and this is his 3rd termination in 10yrs of our marriage. Should I start worrying?
Secondly we had scraped and saved every penny for our annual holiday next March & my 7yr old son is verrrry excited. Should I tell my husband to cancel the trip without sounding like the typical nagging wife?
I'm at my wits end, pls advise.(I can't discuss this with family & friends, of course and I feel like crying out!)

Isn´t there anywere you can borrow the money until you get back on your feet? if not i do not see ny other way than to cancel the trip. i do not think you will be able to enjoy it while worrying about financiall issues.
On the other hand - if u have money for the coming 6 months i do not see why he will not be able to find another one during this time - or did i get soemthing wrong?

thnx a ton for responding. no we cant borrow money coz as i said i wouldn't like to share this with family and friends (think of the ignominy!) also we want to shield our son from this. yes, we can definitly pull thru next 6 months, but what i worry is if he doesn't get a job by then, then what? as i said, he has lot of difficulties in adjusting with people.

Wow I think you will have to have a seriou sheart to hear t talk with your husband .Maybe you need to sit down and watch international news in which many people talk about how difficult it is for persons in this time who have lost thier jobs for him to get the gravity of the situation .You may have to ask him if he wants this to happen to his family but you may have to do it in as subtle a way as possible maybe even use reverse psychology like say while you are watching the news "I am so glad that we are not liek those families "
But in the long and short of it he needs to get his act together .With regadrs to the vacation trip you may tell him that he needs to put off the vacation until he gets a new job .Tell him you are not canceeling the trip just postponing it and explain to your son why

talk to your family. Discuss your worries as well as your possible remedy. talk to your husband about the finance and his job issue. tell him, your worrying for your kid future. money is money, it must not ruin your relationship with your husband and kid. talk to your kid, if you cant really afford it and instead go somewhere new but not that costly. all that matters is, you share that moment. Lastly, pray and believe that God will provide according to your needs and His promises
