So yes, MC was focused a lot on the interview and the prospect of W being offered the job. W would love for me to come along if I can make it work but maybe it will be a few months before everything is taken care of.
Honestly, I did have a dark thought last night about if she really wanted me to come along immediately and when we discussed it she said of course. She just didn't want to express that so there is no expectation.
This morning we discussed what would happen if I had to move later.
The MC confirmed that she was rooting for us and that we are both working really hard and that the IC was the turning point in her mind.
Not expecting that this move will fix everything but it helps W's health, aligns with her career desires and other goals. I kind of hope they will let her start in January but probably we are looking at mid to late September. I mean obviously she doesn't have the job offered but why would you fly someone to the other side of the country if you weren't really considering that person.
W. was said that she would be gone right when all the things happen in Florida (Halloween Horror Nights, my birthday).
In the car ride over to work yesterday morning W pointed out how we shouldn't disparage the place we work at (remember: I feel she is always complaining and I kind of went along with doing that as well at moments). So I notice a real change in her attitude which in turn has made our time together so much more special.
When we drove to MC after work she described it as if there was a dark cloud that came over us and the darkness dragged us further down and right before it was spiraling down too far it was turned around and in turn there are now all these opportunities opening up.
I trust her to let her move first but I really don't want to be apart from her. It seems she also doesn't really desire that either. Obviously she should take it if it is offered. But I really hope for one of those famous spousal accommodations that they sometimes offer in universities.
