Investing a Husband with Potentials, Between a Husband & a Wife

A woman who’d found herself a GOOD CATCH, lucky HER!!!  Translated…

At the age of fifty, my husband retired, with a full pension, I’d jokingly said, that he got laid off quickly.  With his parents and our children still in school, we both felt, that he should seek out another career opportunity elsewhere.

Losing his employment in midlife, he’d finally realized, how hard it was, to find a job.  Turns out, there was, an age-limit to the related industries that he’d worked in from before, after he’d accepted that, he’d started showing his fatigue, for bumping into the walls in his job hunting.  Just so happened, that the place we’d gone to often, to participate in the religious rituals needed a male helper, disregarding my speaking against it, he’d gone into it.

From before, he’d worked with the machines, and now, other than working the odds and ends of the place, he’d needed to get along with the female coworkers; and because of his slow to act trait, he couldn’t catch up to his coworkers who are swift, and would often get told, to move faster, and, the fast-paced work didn’t make him feel fulfilled in work, and he’d had difficulties, dealing with the personnel offices, and in the end, he’d finally, quit.

Seeing how my husband returned back home, all beaten up and bruise, I clearly knew, that he could only now, use what he’s best at, taking tests, set a goal, and, work towards it.  After he’d gone through the trials of how cruel reality of the job hunting forecast was, he’d not only taken my suggestions, he’d wanted to make me proud.  I’d decided, to allow my husband to have NO other worries but to study hard for his examinations, and, for these six months, I’d taken care of everything, providing for the family, and everything ELSE that went on in the house, all he needed to do, was to HIT the books at the library.  I’d feared, that my husband’s ego would get the best of him, that he was just, hiding out, with the books, in the libraries, and so, I’d spied on him once, and, after I’d realized that he was really working hard, studying away, then, I’d felt much relieved.

My husband researched the area of expertise completely, and, every time we’d gotten together briefly, he’d told me of what he’d learned from his studies; other than hitting the books again, he’d managed to clarify for himself, the concepts that he couldn’t understand when he was younger.  Seeing how hard he’d worked at studying, and accepted the challenges as they came to him, I’d felt very relieved.

As the written exam grades were posted, my husband had beaten over a thousand people, and, that, was when the whole family became impressed, that he hadn’t lost his touch.  On the day of the interview, we all gotten our minds settled, but, seeing how the competitors are all from the younger generations, we couldn’t help but feel worried about him, and, at the same time, we were all, in AWE at the courage he has.

And, my husband’s hard work paid off, he’d gotten on, and, now, he’d carried his full confidence to work every single day, hoped that at the stage of his life, being mature enough in the mindset, he could, contribute to the world again.  He’d also truly thanked me, that if I didn’t invest in him, he couldn’t have let everything go, and hit the books again.  It seems, that my ability, in picking a blue chip husband, had also helped him find the drives in his life once more.

And this still showed, how behind EVERY successful man, there IS a woman behind him.  This woman encouraged her husband, helped him find his own area of expertise, so, he won’t have so much spare time on his hands, after he was retired, and this man, with his hard working mannerisms, was able to succeed.
