Congratulations on the new job! I'm sorry the VP is being a total jerk and yes, he is definitely an insecure person. I worked w/one of those for 7 months and then I left too. It really does make a difference when you work w/people who are secure in their jobs and in themselves. One more stressor down for you!
Things are slowly progressing w/your wife. I would continue as I have been for a while longer. You don't want to do a temperature until maybe a month or so after the trip. That will give her some time to reflect back on the trip and how things went. Don't rush the process!
Good luck tomorrow!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
