ok heres the deal my husband is in iraq we just got married may 2nd then he had to go back on the 12th. well im in the process of finding a good office job but not having much luck. I wanna go to some fast food job or something to make a lil income to help out but he wants me just to continue looking for a good job. Ive been paying everything on my own for the last 3 years and not used to someone taking care of me. She i do what he said or go find a job just to get some income in till something better comes up? |

Think of the money as being your money rather than yours and his. If the income from your husband is enough for you and whatever expenses he has and a little bit of savings, then it makes sense for you to hold out for a better job.
If it is an issue of having something to do, try looking to volunteer for something similar to the job you would like to be working in. Or volunteer somewhere where you will make contacts that could help you land the job you want.
Have you looked into temping. Even if it does not pay as much as the job you want full-time, you could get your foot in the door and make some contacts to help your job search.
Good luck with your job search and congrats on getting married. |

I think you should explain to him that you need to fill the hours of the day - he should understand that. Then get a job or find a volunteer position - volunteering, beyond the obvious, helps you make connections and keeps your skills sharp. I personally believe that employed people have an easier time of getting hired, as opposed to people who are not busy doing something. |

Get a part time job for some income and keep looking for the long term job. |

It sounds like you're looking for ammunition, not help. Like you've already decided and want to get others on your side.
Well, let's examine this from your husband's point of view. He wants to provide for you but right now, he can't. He probably feels guilty leaving you after 10 days of marriage and doesn't want you to give up on him or look down on him. He may even feel insecure ("Ive been paying everything on my own for the last 3 years and not used to someone taking care of me") and is afraid you'll discover you don't need the hassle of having a husband 1,000's of miles away - you can do without THIS!
Marriage is a big change for BOTH of you. Let him be your husband. If he really loves you, he wants what's best for YOU. And you need to do the same for him. If he wants you to keep looking, do that, but ask him if he would mind if you worked part-time or did temp work in the meantime. Don't set your heart on the idea and get defensive if he says no, just offer the suggestion, then listen (say something like, "What do you think about me taking a temp job while I look)". This shows him you respect his opinion and are looking to him for guidance. If you listen carefully to his response, you should be able to figure out what he's feeling and why he's being so insistent. One way to let him know you're listening is to re-state what he just said but in your own words.
As I said, marriage is a big change for both of you. You need to work as a team to solve your problems, but if he says no, you need to accept that - not sneak around behind his back and do what he EXPRESSLY told you not to. Try (as best you can from 1,000's of miles away) to keep the lines of communication open. Remember he's not here to see what you're dealing with, but you're not there either, to see what HE'S dealing with.
You can work this out. |

Explain to him you would like a job to help with teh bills and something to do with your time other than sitting there waiting and doing nothing. If you need to, just go get a job. |

Before you said I DO to your husband you knew for sure that it will not all be a bed of roses....that both of you will have to go thick and thin,for good health and bad or let me put this way SACRIFICE. So if you can tell him to help you out and then for you believe in to your self that others can do have a better job you can also.we have to understand that the inspiration of our husband is us. If we good the more they are happy....be open to him in all your need and i do he'll understand and help you out too because that is his reponsibility. All we do is to communicate in a good way. Friend this is a challenge for a wife like us and that we need to face it because we are in the real world. Be strong and build your self conffidence that you can do better for you and your husband and for the future be a woman in the book of Provebs 31.Hope you well |

Don't want to strain the marriage, but do what you have to in order to get by. |

Explain to your husband that you miss him and that you need something to fill your time. It does not hurt to get a filler job on the way to a 'real' job. |

Join several Temp agencies. You can pick and choose your own hours, and often a temp job could lead to a full-time job.
Good luck! |

it looks better if you do not take off long periods of time, might as well stay busy and have extra cash |

It's always better to have something coming in, than nothing at all. I wouldn't do the fast food thing though. Try temp agencies. There a great way to make some quick dough, plus most of them turn into permanent jobs. |

You have to get money from somewhere! You were self sufficient (obviously) before you got married and you need to tell your husband that you still plan to be that way after. You do whatever it takes to get by, my dear, and kudos to you for striving to get a job (any job) that will help you do it. You are so newly married and at a difficult time too! You will both figure all this out with time I am sure and it is hard for him to not be there helping to take care of you, but you need to let him know that you are willing, able, and planning to get any job you can to help makes end meet. A temp agency is a great idea, but a fast food job is not to be sneered at. It is a job that pays you money - end of story.
He should (and you may need to instruct him on this little tidbit - sometimes guys are dense, god love them) be proud beyond measure of you for your willingness to do this. Many men have the absolute opposite problem. Also, this is modern times! You are not ruled or owned by your husband. Marriage is a partnership and he needs to trust you to make decisions that are in each of your own best interests and your marriage together. Get out there and get that job, hon, and congrats on the marriage. Hope your husband stays safe and God Bless. I am sure this is equally hard on him, but he needs to let you be independent and contributory! |

As a military wife you make enough without working. You should just keep on looking for the type of job you want. Their are lots of ways to contribute to the house hold, so you don't feel useless. Take this time to educate yourself and do home improvements. |

You said you've been paying for yourself for the past 3 years. Well, how did you pay for yourself? You must have had a job. So go back to that job |

If you get a filler job you will get stuck doing that forever, why work when you can rob banks and gas stations. Shooting Apu is only a 20 dollar fine now. |

If you want something fulfilling why don't you go to college? You could get substantial assistance from Pell Grants and your state because your husband is military... If full uni study isn't your cuppa ... how about a short course and certification in something like medical assisting, transcription work, nursing assistant, office management, or something like that. You can't get a great job without a little education and it would give you something to fill your time. |
