My husband (46), a former expatriated CEO for a multinational company, has been laid off 2 years ago. In the same period he has been considering without success neither strong interest numerous sectors and countries to invest in. My question is double: Has anyone in the same situation (absolute lost of professional identity and networks) been able to start a new professional life? How to deal with his aggressive behaviour at home? Up to now, I chosed to focus on my job and kids to remain strong, but it is not enough.
Thanks for your help.

Good for you. He should be contributing to the family effort by now. Lay down some rules, things have to change or
they will get worse. All right, so he was laid off, so was I.
It was horrible, but I pulled through it. When I was at the end of my rope, I got a job, any job. Just contribute. Ultimately, I wound up with a bigger better company, in a job that I love and excel in.

Has he consulted a head hunter (job search firm). He may be able to find something in a similar field.
Not quite the same thing, my hubby was home for a very long time due to illness. He got very tempermental and short tempered. When he felt better, he joined a gym and worked out his aggression on weights and tread mill.

Has he stated something to you about it bothering him? per chance if its bothering you a lot, you could sit and search for advice from with him and observe no matter if it really is even an situation for him. per chance its in no way. per chance chatting with him and finding out his stance on it may actually help you sense extra constructive about the precedence, and help you choose the position to flow from the following with you!

My husband was out of work for two year. It is a very emotional time. It takes a huge commitment to your relationship to get through. For men the ability not to be able to provide for their family is devastating. It makes them very depressed. Which is usually what causes problems. Can you get him counseling. Build up his self esteem. Tell him to think of this as a time to start over. think of your family first. Do you need money? Then your husband need to go get a job. Anything it may not be what he had but any money is better then no money. Good Luck

Sometimes we fall off the mountain and have to crawl back up to get back to the top. Your husband needs to continue to pursue his quest for success but at the same time needs to exercise patience and understanding. As a professional he should already understand that we are only sitting at the top temporarily

Your husband is young enough to start a new carrier, you can help him with suggestions as what he would like to do. Remind him that a family man should always have a plan "B" or "C" if necessary", tell him not to rest in his laureles and get up his butt and show you what he is capable of.
Be nice to him though
