Men, how do you handle job loss while in a serious relationship?

[Anonymous]

Like do you feel inferior to your woman working while you are seeking for a job?

Do you close off?
Are you open about your feelings with your partner and work together?

Are you brave enough to ask your woman for help with job seeking if she is better than you at making job applications form and other things?

Unfortunately things happen in this world & when it comes to job loss I really feel for people especially nowadays if someone loses their job. As for me although I have never experienced losing a job knock on wood I hope it never happens & in the event it does happen I wouldn’t be afraid to ask for assistance when seeking a new job.

I always tell people have a backup plan & an emergency fund as well.

No. My earnings don't decide my value and importance. I want to pull my own weight, so I'd gladly accept her help.

My aim here on GAG is to decode relationship behavior and keep it real… with a little spice 😏

Losing a job can crush a guy’s ego, so many men feel inferior, shut down, or go quiet. But the healthy ones communicate, let her in emotionally, and accept help. A supportive woman becomes a teammate, not a threat. Refusing her help is pure red-flag pride. Accepting it is green-flag maturity and commitment.

When i need a woman for such things, i better vanish from the face of the Earth, i'd work in sewers and in garbage and won't ask sh*t from a woman!

Not very well. For me my job was my identity
