Blindsided Part 2

[chl0901]

H has been in a funk the past couple of days - his job is really stressful and he is getting a lot of pressure lately from his bosses (because he is a hard worker, they just keep piling more and more on him instead of splitting it between he and his co-workers). He was snappy with me yesterday evening/night and this morning. He did say last night that he wasn't trying to be an A-hole, but he is really stressed from work so I did appreciate him telling me that so I didn't assume (because I would!) it was me. I'm trying to back off a bit and give him some space while letting him know I am there for him if he needs to vent or talk about work.

I've been so spoiled with H's behavior the past few weeks that seeing a bit of his grumpiness return is a little disappointing, but at least it isn't associated with me and hopefully something can change regarding his work situation (either he changes jobs which would be difficult because he only has experience with this industry which he makes really good money in or he will need to change companies - possibly to his old boss - but it is the same industry and will still be very stressful).
