my husband has his own landscaping/snowplowing business, but I believe he is finished cutting grass and now he is waiting for the snow to come. In the meantime, should I mention to him about getting a job in the in-between time or just sit back and wait to see what he has planned?

........ask him what he has planned?? Then you'll know whether to mention about getting an in-between job!

It's his decision. If you start bugging him now he will think you are a nag and most divorces are caused by money arguments.
Or you could get a job and support him for a while. There is no law saying a woman can't work and that it has to be the man. Plus you will feel better knowing you are contributing and not just spending his hard earned money

Depends if you guys are hard up on money. How much time has he had off this year? Does he need a break? If you feel that he is not pullin ghis weight and could do more, or if you need the money then you can "suggest" to him that he can look for other work until the snow arrives.

That depends....how long has this been going on and what other sources of income does he contribute. Unless you want to be the sole source of support for the family, you'd better bring up the issue. Pick a time when his defenses are down, make it clear that you're committed to him, and find out what his plans are. You should consider in advance what you want to do in the event he doesn't actually have a plan. He doesn't sound real motivated. You know him better than anyone else and should consider whether this is normal behavior for him. My guess is that you know in your gut what's going on--Good Luck

Ask him in a polite way what he plans to do until it snows. Just ask if he intends on taking a break or finding another temporary job.

Communicate with your husband. Ask him what his plan is. Don't be condescending, be supportive, and point out that this winter is said to be a mild one, so he may want to pick up a job in the meantime. Painting is pretty easy work. He could do that in the meantime.

Tell him there are still bills to pay and money is still needed while he is waiting for the snow to fall. All men need money coming in all year round.

Stella let him take a break for awhile, cause when that snow hits he will be to busy for anything, so go on a few dates together, or get some extra cuddling time in.....

I missed what the pressure is that you are asking about?
The pressure of a spouse that isn't working outside of the house? Or the pressure of having to goad a spouse into working outside of the house?
What pressure are you asking about?

Your husband is a lazy rubbish that should do something other than wait for the seasons to change. Hell if I did that in my business I would be bankrupt.

yes men have this pressure. Its called the pressure to succeed or provide for our families. Its called LIFE!!! No stop pestering him and help him get a job, or YOU get a job and supplement some of the weight off of his shoulders.
