I thought an ugly scene was about to happen but instead she went on to say she was offered a different position at work and what did I think.
I always was her sounding board for her career. So I listened, validated, and offered suggestions, without *fixing* it. She seemed pleased and treated me better until we departed. She even mentioned working on her resume - I always helped. I almost felt she was going to ask me to proof read it - but she did not.
Wow. Just Wow. You were the alpha male, the 'man' in this.
You put aside all the crap and treated her like you might treat someone on 'the street'. as in 'What Would Jesus Do?'
I hope I can get to the same point you are at soon.
you didn't fix things, you were just being a good man. Treating her like you might treat someone on the street.
