My stbx got a new job back in June. She's been looking endlessly for the past two years when she finally landed this one. She told me one of the reasons she was so unhappy with her life was because of her job. I was a huge encouragement for her from the beginning and even authored her resume at her request. Helped her distribute it and even told her where to mail it for the Job she did eventually accept.
When she got the job, I was the first one she called to announce it, but it was her girlfriend that she went out with to celebrate. That was only because her OM is in prison though.
I didn't feel bad, but I did think of how we use to celebrate personal accomplishments (hers or mine) together in the past. Guess that's just one of those things we realize we've lost when they come up. There will probably be more reminders in the future.
