I do not mean this to sound harsh, just giving you an "outside" perspective. If you re-read your first post, you kept mentioning "two years". Your W may have brought that up a few times also, like "you had two years to find a job, and did nothing".
I'm saying this because you are talking about 6 months being hard. Your W has apparently talked about 2 years being hard.
Again, men & women, different perspectives. Men tend to want to solve, women tend to want to feel. What's a guy to do?
