What I do for a living is executive career coaching. I will tell you that this is a very difficult market and you may be doing everything right and still get no results for awhile. However, the key to success is to continue and the more you get out there the more chance you will have. Do not let lack of response get you down. Press on! If you want to send me a private message on what you do I may have some more advice I can offer you. Job searching is very difficult and many of my clients who do not find jobs right away become depressed. When they allow that to happen, they fail. So brush yourself off and get yourself out there. It may also be the job market where you are too so you may have to leave.

The other part of your issue is separate from the first. Sounds like your hubby did not want to grow up and his mother doesn't want him to either. Your money issues ARE your husband's issue. His issues are NOT his parents. If he can't cut the apron strings then the relationship will fail.

One of the things that I insisted on early on is a joint account. We have no "my" money and we discuss major purchases. Even now when things are rocky we're still handling money jointly. I never wanted money to get in the way of our relationship, entire countries were destroyed due to money.

So to answer your question, no you are not wrong he is. How to make him see it, is another story sounds like he has been raised to believe that his wife's money issues are not his concern. Also they sound like they are sabotaging your relationship suggesting you move out and they take care of him. If he feels that way, time to move on!
