His sister pays ALL our bills except the house and car loan. The kids pay the phone bill. He simply hides in the house all day and I swear he's going after the wrong jobs on purpose. I swear he just wants to sit at home and hide from the world. I truly understand how he's feeling but I also know its not healthy, that there IS something out there that will be fulfilling. I found it for myself two years ago.
That sounds to me like he might be seriously, clinically depressed. And that becomes somewhat of a vicious cylce ... depressed because he can't find a job he wants, then can't get a job because he's too depressed to function.
