If I were you I would look at all the positives of the sitch...He wants to try be it only for 2 weeks. It 2 weeks of Dbing your butt off!!! I would LOVE to have that opportunity now. It will be 2 weeks of validating like you never have before and being so cheerful and happy that your cheeks hurt from smiling so much!!! LoL.
Hang in there this is a great opportunity to SHOW him that you are listening to what he is saying and are making the improvements on yourself.
