I am not offering to counsel your husband vis a vis his relationship with you.
I'm here to help him get to work. I'm an HR professional and a headhunter I also will do so with the understanding that he's repented of his affair and needs to stop burying his head in the sand.
He needs a Christian who can give him permission to live like he's forgiven.
I think it's more of personal coaching and encouragement.
I won't judge him.
And the most important thing -- I'm foul-mouthed and have a disarming sense of humor.
Theo, I spoke with my H today briefly about the 3 folks who've offered email correspondence, and their different perspectives/backgrounds. He initially cringed about it, but actually is interested in being in contact with you first - and yes, about the job thing. Nothing else, friend, I understood your intent! (each person who offered contact has totally different things they wanted to bring to the table.)
For now, you win a tentative, trial friendship with my very smart and witty H! ... but not until the 2nd week in September. Family trip to the beach -yahoo! vacation! (complete with added bonus of inlaws! whee!) from 9/1-9/8 and no time to get connected until afterward. Hope that's okay with you, dear man. Will email H your info!
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
Even now, he saw his old boss at church last week and mentioned how much he missed being a PART OF something via work, and this boss went on some random tangent about how that was prideful, etc. and just lopped the head off that my H had tentatively stuck out of the sand. F*cker. That just infuriates me. And makes reaching out/trusting that much more difficult the next time.
F*cker is right!!!! It's prideful to want to do good work and support the family you did NOT run out on?
Yo, Theo? Where R U, dude? R U Okay? Wish you had your own thread I could go hijack -ha! Again, check your email man. Email me if you can at the instepford gmail.com addy. Missing you and your warrior spirit, worried about you. ((((theo)))
