Last week H told me that he is considering applying for a job 400 miles away. He told me that he spoke with the head of the company earlier that day (the head of the company used to be in upper management in the company where H currently works).
H speaks with his sister that evening and tells her about it. The following day H's sister calls me and tells me H suggested to her that I would move with H. What?!? I told her there was no way on earth I could do that. IF I were able to secure a job in my line of work, it would be mean starting over from scratch. Which would translate to a huge paycut. I would be totally dependent on H. AND if it did not work out and I decided to move back, I would have to start back over at my current company. They would not take me back at my current position, if they took me back at all. H knows I wouldn't/couldn't start over.
I think he was intentionally misleading her so he would not look like a jerk for leaving his son behind. But I could just be speculating. I suppose this is where is should not believe any of what he is saying.
Two days later he told me he actually submitted the application. He admitted that most of it was done when he first mentioned it to me. (**Thanks for telling me.**)
Today, I happen to be home from lunch. The headhunter called the house looking for him. I later learned they are scheduling an interview, but he has yet to tell ME this news.
I can hardly believe that he would seriously entertain taking a job 400 miles away and leaving his son behind. This person he is now, this coward, astounds me. In a million years, I never thought he could walk away from his child. I never thought he was the type of person that could do this. What is he doing?
I can only guess that in his mind it would be easier to just run away. To start over fresh somewhere else. Leave his troubles behind him. OMG! How could he do this? How could he really think this is a viable solution?
Not only am I completely flabbergasted at this new job, but I am so hurt that he hasn't told me yet.
