Could be, but let me give you one thing to think about.

Do you have any idea what it's like being a 51-year-old professional man who suddenly is unemployed and unable to provide for his family? Having to watch your wife work herself like a dog--AND deal with cancer treatments--because you can't take care of her and your child(ren?) the way you used to?

I'd waste away in my underwear a little bit too!

I'm not trying to take his side here, but... I'd encourage you to try and develop a little sympathy for what it's been like for him, too.
