JustMarried629's Journal, 14 July 2009

So yesterday and so far today Hungry Girl has been good to me. I am full and satisfied. Today's lunch was a cheeseburger salad, and like yesterday, tasted the same minus the bread. I am living to learn once again not to miss it too much, I can have some here and there, but not with every meal.

Aside from that, I do have to say that this economy is affecting me personally. My husband is without a job, and I hate that I cannot make him better. He is depressed like any man is or would be. Any tips/suggestions? Thanks!

Maybe get some chores together for the hubby to do to keep busy and improve your home - have him move around some furniture, repaint something, or move a tree from one side of the yard to the other! When my husband was out of work, he cooked dinner every night - he's a better planner/cook than I am. Good luck!

That is a wonderful suggestion abba. Do you all have any children? If so, you can plan some community activities that are free that he can volunteer for or participate in. When my husband was out of work he put together a neighborhood dodgeball and baseball team. It kept some children out of trouble and kept him busy. He may still mope around a little because the burden to provide is ingrained in every man that has made a commitment to marry and have a family, so keep encouraging him and thanking him for fixing dinner or doing some of the things abba listed. He will "feel like the man" again. This is something my daddy told me in relation to my husband because they feel like they have been stripped of their manhood when they lose their jobs.
