    True, it depends on the type of marriage you're in. Obviously if it's a abusive relationship it'll be stressful

      "New familymember" ranks definitely higher than just 39 in my life...

      But I think it totally depends on the marriage or on the people in general. Some take stress easier and from different things than others. I think you cannot generalize that very much.

      And if you have been very unsatisfied with your job, firing shouldn't stress you too much... I think...

    I don't think that chart is really accurate. Stress levels vary depending on the situation and how a person handles stress. Sometimes a pregnancy can be more stressful than getting fired, especially if it's unexpected or unwanted. The holidays can also be really stressful especially if you take on a lot of responsibility during that time. Many happily married couples turn to their spouses for support and stress relief. And if you're the type of person who can't handle stress, a paper cut would probably give you the same level of stress as getting fired.
