Help!! My Spouse Hates Their Job!!

When anybody hates his or her job it doesn’t make for a happy camper at home. They are not a pleasure to live with. (to say the least) They come home tired, grumpy, irritable and depressed. They can hardly be expected to put on a happy face the minute they walk in the door, as much as they might like to.

But worse still, its horrible watching someone you care for go through that experience day after day. It’s soul-destroying stuff for both parties!

No wonder you are saying AAAAARGH!!!! My Spouse Hates job!!

What can I do?

How to help a spouse who is unhappy at his job (or hers)?

Relax, all hope is not lost!

Maybe part of the reason your spouse feels that way is that they have come to a point in their lives when they are wondering “Do I really want to be doing this for the rest of my life?”
That could relate to the actual job or it could relate to the work environment they are in.

I’m going to assume it’s the actual job.

Your spouse needs to give some thought to their natural skills and abilities. Get them to make a list of all the skills they have acquired over the years (and don’t underestimate any volunteer work). Sit down with them and help them (if they want you to).

Which of these skills and abilities does your spouse enjoy using?

Has your spouse thought about transferring some of these skills into a whole different occupation?

What types of interests or hobbies does your spouse have? What were they naturally good at, at school? Which subjects did they enjoy?

There may be some clues in this information that could start your spouse thinking about different options for work.

They may find it beneficial to work with a career coach who can help them tease out the ideas and help them find a job that is a good fit for them, so that they come home energised and happy at the end of the day.

Then we won’t hear you crying out.. My Spouse Hates Job!!
