Being the spouse of a depressed person who is unable to find a job is a very difficult place to be. When telling someone about the problem, they immediately ask for what he's done or not done, where he has and has not applied and give me their opinion on what my husband "needs" to do. I appreciate the desire to help, but they are not helping. I am not my husband and I can send in an application here or there, but I am not picking up his phone, I am not scheduling interviews and I am not the one interviewing or following up. I have little to no control over his situation and I really wish people would meet ME there. I wish they would treat me as someone who cannot fix his problems because they're just adding to my burdens when they don't.
