I agree with the last poster. BOTH your behaviors changed six weeks ago when you lost your job.

Unless the kinds of jobs you can get are so low wage that you cannot make more than day care costs, then your decision to not work does not make sense. Especially if you consider such things as health benefits.

If you arrived at that decision with no input from your husband, I could see how that would be irritating.

He may see your decision as you basically deciding you need a two month vacation. What if he got laid off too? The economy is not done with us yet. Deciding to not look for work all summer may not be a wise decision if you rely on two incomes.

Getting back to your original worry. He staying up late and not being affectionate. If you perceive a change in attitude, you have to address it directly with him. Don't *****foot around it either. Be direct.
