Dave, I agree with you based on 1st hand knowledge. I had a wonderful "stay home dad" husband for 18 years. Even I would get the questions "Has your husband found a job yet?" or "wow, it must be a tough job market out there for him, eh?"  In terms of re-entering the workforce, it is also harder than it is for a mom.  All that means is that your pipeline of opportunities needs to be twice the size and it may take you longer. Why? You need to find the company culture and individual hiring managers/recruiters who 'get it'.  You can do this! Please let me know if you want a free 30 minute conversation on tricks, too. Thanks for writing!
