Tiger, I’m so sorry about your H’s layoff. I think you are right about him not looking for another job is part of MLC, and specifically the depression part. I have been out of work for quite some time now. I had some days when I was very depressed, and it affected my motivation to keep looking for work. I know that I can only rely on myself, there is nobody else to rescue me or support me, and I still was not motivated enough on some bad days.
I’m afraid that if your H doesn’t find some work soon, it is going to put him deeper in MLC. The opposite could also happen though. I think you could give him some support and be understanding, even he starts doing some stupid things (well, like it is something new, LOL.) I wish him all the luck to finding work.
