]]> 74969 2 32 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/196005/32.jpg But don't be a sap, either But don’t cut them too much slack, either. If it becomes obvious your loved one is neither looking for a job nor pitching in with the kids or housework, it’s time for a serious discussion.

]]> 74970 3 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/196005/43.jpg Discuss expectations Discuss one another’s expectations, preferably before tempers flare.

If your partner turns to alcohol, drugs, porn, gambling, or other destructive behaviors, insist they get counseling.

]]> 74973 6 86 Tip Men are particularly susceptible to depression after a job loss because much of their self-esteem is tied to their work.

]]> 74974 7 95 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/196005/95.jpg Keep up their spirits Keep assuring them that you have complete faith in their ability to find another job. Most importantly, stay positive yourself.
