His insurance, as well as mine, is free because our companies self fund. It would require a significant pay raise to get him to leave, because adding him to my insurance would take a big chunk out of my salary and most other jobs on his blue collar level do NOT offer such great benefits.

This was a big blow to my family since I provided health and retirement benefits, as well as the “bread winner” salary. My spouse’s job is in a very niche field and his position at the time did not have any type of health insurance, sick days, vacation, or retirement benefits. Since moving here, my career has hit a dead end.
