My friend's husband has problems I think. She told me he would tell her he'd take his own life, especially when he's drunk. He does not have a stable job, maybe that's depressing him. It seems he's always on the edge. My friend has tried consoling him about his job but it has not worked so far. She worked less hours so she can be home more, but still the same. What else can she do?

she has to make him gain confidence in himself. she msut make him realsie that he is not a loser and that he is still capable to work and earn and live normally and that life does end if he doesnt have a stable job.she must drive away all those crazy suicidal ideas form his mind.

Just tell him that killing himself won't make him get a stable job nor will it help his wife. He doesn't have a stable job but he still finds money to booze off I see. Everyone in life has seen up and downs and once you're down you only need to look upward else you'll end up downer...isn't there someone who can talk to him? Someone to whom he'll listen if he doesn't want to listen to his wife. He has to get back on his feet on his own cause he can't know when he'll find a better job so he can't wait indefinitely without ruining his marriage.

Well he needs to quit the booze and get himself a stable job..maybe it's because of his qualifications that he cannot get a good job, in which case maybe he should go for courses to improve himself..however he might also need professional help from a psychologist!!

all these advices are good ones in my opinion!! However she just can't come home early all the time or reduce her working hours if her hubby's not working!! On a long run Her boss' may cut cost and this would not help them at all...for he's not working . They should seek advice from professionals as quick as possible before things get worst...and the inevitable to happen

My uncle suicided because he was into a no-doing-good job. First of all, his wife must make him quit alcohol consumption. She should talk to him, explain that money is not a big deal, and money COMES AND GOES. Then reassure him that their life is going on great, they dont lack anything and there is not a dearth of jobs out there in this world. Help him to find a good job, which he likes, because self-satisfaction matters a lot. Then both of them should go to a peaceful place, and discuss about the relationship. He should feel needed, and loved. He needs comfort and reassurances. All the best!
