well you could do what i did to my husband he was out of work for almost two years so i just bugged him and kept on bugging him till he finally got up and went to look for a job and then he did get a job finally in almost two years ogf not working he got tired of me nagging him to get a job and also threatening to divorce him ps also i was at the time the only one with any kind of income coming in and paying the rent and all the bills we moved to a smaller place after he lost his last job cause they had laid him off of work then he finally got one after almost two years of having no job when we moved and now he is working and getting paid every week it isnt the best job in the world ok i have to admit that and he isnt making alot of money either ok but he at least has a job and gets a pay check every week ok

I think you should give him a reality check. Let him know what he could possibly happen if he is not willing to go out and get a stable job. I learned the hard way.

Dress him up and you take him out and help him look for jobs. You may also need to get work for now too. Why is he not wanting to get out there and look for work?

There is nothing that you can do. He is the one who has to want to get out and look for work and obviously he doesn't want to do that.
