Not only did we agree to it but he quit mediation because *I* didn't sign it fast enough.
Do I mention anything about how that's what we've agreed to???
His stance is always, "Claire, I want you to have the time you need so if you ever want some extra time just say so."
I guess I just have to say so and stop over thinking it. You're all totally right-- why do I care what he thinks? Why should I feel guilty about taking advantage of the biggest benefit of my job. It would be different if we were together, but sorry you fired me.
Also... the timing of this vacation coincides with the first anniversary of his dad's death.
I feel like I have a constant internal battle between being compassionate and giving, and being manipulated and a pushover. I do think it's manipulative-- "if you are going on an actual vacation then your time isn't really valuable ". Mena while this is going to be pretty much my only time off till summer. And this is what he signed up for and chose.
