friday hax chat q: she's married to a musician who is spending his time being laid off to pursue his dream on her dime

Married to a dreamer (online only)

I'm married to a talented musician and artist. He got laid off 8 months ago from his regular job. He decided that with his severance it was his chance to make a go of the music/art thing. It's been 8 months, he almost has a CD out. He's working on stuff, but spending lots of money, not making any. We are in our early 30's, just married, no kids. He says this is his last chance to try this. I get it, but at the same time, really just want him to get a job like everyone else and keep doing this stuff on the side. Am I selfish? Should I figure out how to support him? We are OK financially.

"We are ok financially". So basically you just are annoyed that he's not working like you do. Give him some more time if you can afford it and agree - pmb Mar 2, 12:37 8

  - The problem is she doesn't provide any good reason why it's a problem. They're doing ok financially and it appears he's using his severance money - Guigue Mar 2, 12:53
