So H called at 11:15. I ignored it at first but his voice was really anxious. I got on the phone, he said his boss told him he wants him to take a couple weeks off to "get his head together" and then go back to work. H's ex-ow threatened to try and get him fired when he broke it off with her 3 wks ago. And he was on vacation from work Wed-Fri last week so maybe she said/did something while he was gone. I don't know. Also, the day before he went on vacation he said he thought his company just got bought by a bigger one. So maybe they are doing restructuring and think if they fire him before the merger they won't have to give him severance or anything? Anyway H was freaked out,said he was afraid he was going to get fired. Told boss he would like afternoon off--moving into apt. this afternoon which boss doesn't know--but then wanted to be back tomorrow and after that. Told boss H needed work to keep himself focused and not dwell on his problems (H's boss knows about the A but thought it was over in November, H has taken long lunches to go to MC w/me and boss knows it). Boss said fine, take the afternoon off, but I think you need a couple weeks. Twenty minutes later (11 am), boss emails h, "Get the f**k out of here".He just talks that way, he is a cocky, mouthy guy in general. He just meant H needed to leave. H went into boss' office & told him he was leaving in the AFTERNOON. Boss said just go now. That is when H called me from his truck. He shows up at home 10 min later asking for # of furniture co. I am on the computer entering checks in Quicken. I don't get up but am looking for # on computer when he says he has it. H is upstairs on phone. I stay on computer doing my work. H comes down a few minutes later and says he stopped the furniture order. Says nothing re. apartment and I don't ask. I stay on computer whole time but say, "Let me know if you need anything, I am here for you". He says thanks and says he is going back to work to try to talk to boss. Really freaked he may lose job. That was 3 hrs. ago. No word back and I am not calling. He is either at work or at his apartment. Although with no furniture, he'd have to come get some of ours to move in. And he has not so much as a toothbrush with him... My plan is to stay the course, NO CONTACT on my part. He didn't say he WASN'T moving out, just that he stopped the furniture order. And for all I know he stopped it temporarily till he finds out about his job. So hanging in there doing my own thing the rest of the day. If there is something I need to know, he'll let me know. But I am going to stay out of the house all evening in case he comes back for his things. It isn't my job to make sure he is okay.....
