This reader was an unemployed journalist whose wife had had an extramarital affair. Original post here. The reader writes:

Things have actually been going well here, for the most part. My wife, sadly, lost her job in early November, so it will be a slightly stingy Christmas, but I was able to take my time away from work to find something rewarding that I enjoy doing. I'm self-employed (and marginally enough that I still freak out about finding enough work every month), but we're doing all right.

And we're doing all right personally too.
