Things going really well with H. Feeling more connected every day.
Last night, he came home from work and said he might be recommended for a job as a sales manager. A little history. He's been floundering in his career since he got out of college. Pursued the golf pro thing, but he ended up being an assistant at a golf course. Since that's all he knew, when he decided to leave that job, he was quite lost as to what he could and wanted to do.
He moved in and out of a few jobs. Then he got one as a Pharmaceutical sales rep. We thought it would be great for him -- giving him a jump start on a sales career. Well, it was when he was at this job that all went to he!! in a handbasket. Yes, problems had been building, but this job catapulted it all.
Any, this job required him to wine and dine the doctors. It was at this job where he met OW. Also in the same industry, in the wining and dining vocation. I was at home getting more and more anxious about where H was all the time.
So, fast forward two years... he has since taken a job in house at his company. It's been great for him. He's had much mroe structure. So, with this new opportunity, he'd be going back outside again. Although, it would be in a mangerial role.
Anyway, I expressed to him my concern about him going back to that type of job -- and I said that it wasn't good for our M. He said, "It's all different now. You know that". We talked about it a bit. After we talked, I felt more like a team and less concerned. I was honest about my concerns. H adddressed them.
So, now he is away for a night. I usually like it when he goes away so we can get some healthy space between us. If I weren't in such a funk lately, maybe I could enjoy my alone time more.
Still battling the blues. Working through it.
