I Am Happy , He Isn’t Irritable Anymore

My hubby during the more than 5 months that he has no job, was always irritable. This attitude would sometimes get into my nerve, so I would quarrel him about it. Though sometimes , I try to understand him.
But aside from that , having no job yet, and waiting for any of the applications he submitted to different companies to be answered , he is just at home and does the cooking of our main meals, to which I am openly happy. He cooks deliciously and I , being a foodie, likes that, especially when I arrive tired from work, at night.
He likes it when I tell him at the dining table, that his dish is delicious and also when the two of us eat out sometimes, my treat of course.
Thus 3 weeks ago, when another courier company who hired him, finally called again & agreed to a higher salary he asked since he will be the operations supervisor and will be visiting other branches , he was ecstatic. He is now working with them and is now in a happy disposition always. 
I am happy for him that he has a new job now. I know where his being irritable was coming from, before. Although, I miss the nice dishes he cooks.
What makes your partner/ hubby irritable? What do you do when he/she is in that mood?

@simplfred Sure na sure!
But when my hubby has no job, I don't feel irritated, because anyway I have money of my own.

Hi D! I can fully empathise with your husband’s irritability for being jobless. When I had to go home to the Philippines cause my visa expired and I had to leave a job I was good at, I felt so useless and crippled.
I also became irritable towards my folks. I think a great part of it comes from my broken pride. I’m glad your husband has found a good job and is back on his feet.

A good man needs to work. It is hard for him to be happy with no job. Glad he's working again. Maybe he could cook a bit on the weekend.

It was natural for your husband to lose his cool. Happy that all is well now but sad that you no longer get to taste food cooked by him (lol)

Oh well I guess its very hard for a man to just stay at home while the wife does the working. It may be one of the hardest thing to swallow while waiting for a new one. Glad that you were able to ride on his mood swings because that is just I believe temporary while he looks for that job.

Congratulate your husband on finding his niche as an operations supervisor ! I relate to your husband. I don't know how a man there thinks of losing job,here some would think that they live on women if they are out of a job.

Really. But I suppose , it is seldom that he is like that. Sometimes, our hubbies has their moods too, just like us of course.

This time, I think it will be you who will be irritable because when you arrive home tired from work, there's no dinner waiting because your husband is late from work :)

The helper cooks our meals again. Hubby has taught him some menus and I also instruct him what to cook for lunch and dinner. He can cook delicious ones now also.
Hubby cooks on Sundays or sometimes me. @sunrisefan (28524)

I am glad he had a new job. Being unemployed is surely no fun. But it does provide a life's lesson. NEVER EVER expect you will have a paycheck. Live your life, and save your money as though you will NOT have a paycheck and life will be so much better when it doles out a surprise.
Never, ever, EVER rely on simply a paycheck to pay your way through life. If you do this, you will surely wind up at the end of the road broke. It's not a...

Yes, that's what he wasn't able to do. When he was offered an early retirement plan, he invested most of his money in the buy and sell of used cars. It takes quite sometimes for the used cars to be sold. He also keeps improving them so much so that he ended spending a lot and when they were sold they were of little profit only. He also invested in another business., That too didn't make money.
He was hired for jobs one after another because he didn't like those jobs , where he is a clerk not the team head anymore.
My prayer was answered when finally he has this latest job where he is an officer. He likes it and i keep praying he will have it until he reaches his mandatory retirement.,

@SIMPLYD When one invests in anything one needs to have a strong bit of knowledge about what it is he or she is investing in, otherwise you are sure to lose your money chasing some dream. I hope he gets it right and figures it out and comes out ahead in the end. But seems like he might be blindly chasing dreams rather than actually researching where he is putting his money, and that could be a problem.

To me, I believe what makes a perfect union is being there for the other in times of need. I know he will love you more because you never nagged at him when he was jobless.
I believe, he will be finding time when he is off duty or on Sunday if he doesn't go to work to cook your favorites.

Yes, I absolutely agree. The wife or any partner should be supportive to their partners when they are in their down times. As to my husband, it is when he was jobless.
Indeed, on Sundays, when he has no work, he sometimes cook when he sees me busy with cleaning. Though, sometimes he asks me to cook. I take that as missing my cooking.

Hooray, congratulations to your husband! Well, my partner tends to be irritable when I am not in the mood. He hates it when I am being cranky and overly sensitive, sometimes.
