Thanks for all of the input. I said I was approaching her about the R and approaching her with my feelings, etc. before. I haven't done so now since Monday and am not planning on doing it anymore. I am making a conscious effort to avoid falling into the temptations of doing so moving forward.

I am still planning on the joint session we have scheduled for Monday because I do want to know where her head is at so I at least know a little bit more about what I'm dealing with/where her head is at. Like I said, my whole objective in the session will be to validate her feelings.

I don't know if/when she will approach me if she does get a job offer that she wants to accept. At this point, if she does, I'm going to try to do a 180 and not necessarily congratulate her on it but I'm not going to do what she thinks I would do (and what I want to do at this point) which is be negative about it and tell her all the reasons she shouldn't take that big of a step. I guess I will see how the conversation goes and try to respond accordingly without any negative comments or advice.
