While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent?up (被壓制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can't handle.WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation. Here are their tips：

Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude. Hard as it may be, try not to be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your spouse (配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with something positive. And don't forget, compliments can go a long way.

In order to kill the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well). Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn't take up the time needed to continue the job hunt.

As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore shut out family and friends. They might rely on their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband to talk to their families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather than a support group of one: you)．

You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all day. To the recently laid?off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before you bombard (發(fā)出連珠炮似的問題) him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax.
