For The Fans Of My Work Husband

I just found out that my Work Husband lost his job. He's got a little time to work it out, but the bank decided to let him go. (In that bank's language, he was not laid off. He was "displaced".)

I feel so badly for him. He's quite stoic, and as these past few months and terrible mortgage crisis has happened, he's figured that he would lose his job. He would always say that it's only business, nothing personal, and it would be OK if he lost his job.

Still, it very much stings to be told you're no longer needed. Hell, it stung when I lost my job at the bank, and I was only a temp. I'm sure it bothers him more than he wants to think about, and I hope he'll be OK. I also hope at some point he'll answer his phone. I can read his voice pretty well and see if he needs anything.

So, all you fans of work spouses, think good thoughts for my (separated) Work Husband.
