Support him
Validate his feelings
Listen
Let him grieve, anger and hostility is just part of that process

Other than that there’s not much you can do. He lost something very important to him. And it’s a tough job market too so be kind.

Good luck! ❤️‍🩹

Have you both joined hands together in prayers and prayed as regards it?? Are you a believer? You got faith?
Take a deep breath, it happens
But hope isn’t lost
First, join hands in prayer ; it goes a long way
Ask God for direction
Prayerfully apply for another Jobs in alignment with basic instruction with faith-filled
As you are waiting for responses, be prayerful; bible says men always ought to pray and not to faint.
Do things that makes both of you happy
And in no time, you will see things restored; bible says God will restore all the years that has been stolen from you in multiple folds

This happened to me but in reverse. My partner supported me and was my rock to lean on when it felt like everything else was falling apart. It still means a lot to me years later. And I’m sure I wasn’t easy to deal with.

You didn’t give much context on how he’s making your life hell. Remember this is a temporary situation, and so unless he is doing something truly horrible it’s probably in the best interest of both of you to just be there for him.

He's in the wrong, to be angry with you and with the world. But I'd advise you to stick with him, and keep showing him your love, and over time he'll soften up and amend himself.

I'm so sorry. :( That sucks.
Try to be as supportive as possible and be understanding. And help him with job hunting (ex. finding things in his field that he can apply to) and help with interview prep!

When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Now is the time to get to work. He needs to get online about 18 hours a day and do it for 6 days a week until he gets a job. I got laid off 10 times and each time that’s exactly what I had to do. It’s time for him to get busy with it. That’s not really a suggestion. It’s a requirement if he wants to get a job.

Don't do any of the crazy Bible stuff. Have him go to a therapist, even a telehealth one. If he refuses, insist on couples therapy. He's clearly depressed and is questioning everything. There are probably relationship issues that he's been ignoring that need to be resolved now too.

The Bible stuff isn't crazy. Let me tell you about crazy. I used to be a fiction-writer, and I via the fiction made hell of my life, because my fiction was false accusations against the people I knew. Of course, I wouldn't tell anyone about it, except when pressured by my situations; so I masked it with flattery, which is hate speech worse than overt threats. I wanted to write a fiction that had enough truth in it to be believable, so that I'd sell millions of copies and get my parents' household out of poverty; but I didn't have anyone to crash test it on - except, of course, myself. So over the 2+ decades of fiction-making, I began to believe that I was writing future events, living in the fiction, and reading people's minds. Well, then my fiction came full circle and my lies hit me like a ton of bricks; and I couldn't live with myself anymore.
But I'd been reading the Holy Bible while writing my fiction - so I had a little lifeline from the truth. And, boy, did I take that lifeline! When I did, I started to realize that the false accusations I'd made were rebellion against the government and against God, and that if I didn't stop my fiction-writing I'd run into trouble with the government sooner or later. So I destroyed all the fiction that I still owned, and became homeless.
A sickness developed over the years of my fiction, through anxiety and depression because of my false accusations. So I wasn't able to care for myself, because I didn't know what was wrong with my body. So I preached the gospel and my repentance to everyone I could, and I got institutionalized for it because I was told I have religious fixations and delusions. But I didn't stop preaching the truth, and now I've got a job affiliated with my local government, so I can influence them toward law and order and against flattery and violence, and can better influence the people I serve. And I'm about to get stable housing to boot.

Pray for your husband, and do the necessary things around the house, and that way you'll show him that you love him. That light you shine by these works at home should be enough to get him to ask you why you do that, and enough to get him to see that he's got to stop being mad at the world because he's got a loving wife.

So my friend is not going to get any referral incentive.

Wondering if anyone else faced the same issue?
