My friend has been married for about two years now. Since they got married her husband has never had a decent job. As a result they had to ask support from his parents. My friend is getting tired of this. She wants to be totally independent from them. How can she tell her husband this without hurting his feelings?

There is always a chance that her husband will get hurt but she has to let him face his responsibilities. He should try or make the necessary actions to get a decent living for his family. They can't be dependent on his family forever.

he might get hurt but she must also make him realize that they cannot be dependent on his parents forever...he has to make his act fast and try to be a good provider for the family...she should talk to him in a pleasant way and try to be supportive of him also...

Both of them should find a way to be financially independent from the parents. She should not pressure nor put down her husband when she suggests this. She must tell him that being independent now will make them prepared for the time when his parents can no longer support them.

Maybe she should discuss their plans for the future with her husband. Then she could bring up the topic of him finding a stable job so their whole future wouldn't be dependent on somebody else. She could also offer to help out in earning a living for them.

He might be hurt by this but she assures him her love while they are talking, matbe it will be lessened. She must ask him to be more aggressive in looking for a good job or at least a well paying job or jobs. He must do all he can just to be able to supoprt the family.
