Wow Ali, I don't know what to say. I'm still trying to get my wife to get a job again, She hasn't worked for 17 years now. I have aways thought she needed that outside interaction. So I tend to agree with you on this one. I know she had much more sex appeal then, because it got her into the habit of looking good for work.
If it is something that makes you happy maybe you can talk with him about it again when he is not so stressed.
