AITA for offering to pick up a second job after my husband got laid off?

My husband recently got laid off.

I really believe he will find something again.

He might even try to build his own business.

He has been talking about it for a while and has even tested it a bit.

This woman thinks it might take a while for her husband to find a new job.

The thing is, his role was pretty high level.

Finding something similar will probably take time.

I do not think it is a good idea for him to just grab the first random job.

I am worried it could affect his confidence and his future career.

She suggested that she would get a second job for herself.

So I said I could try to find a second job for myself.

It would be part-time, just for a few months to help us out.

My current job is flexible. I can technically do it, even if it is not super easy.

I did not mean anything bad by it. I just thought it was a practical solution for now.

Her husband got upset and accused her of undermining him.

But he got upset. He said it makes him feel bad.

That it feels like I am undermining him.

He also said he is worried I will get exhausted.

Now I feel a bit confused. From my side, I was just trying to help.

Am I wrong for suggesting this?
