DV and Elbreth, thank you. Yes, E- I really did picture myself in that position. I was excited. I thought it was mine until I found out she interviewed. It still kind of stings, but I’m holding onto the bigger reason I didn’t get it. Maybe there will be a another new opportunity, but I think I’m meant to ride this one out until it’s time to move. I actually like what I do, I love my coworkers, my nursing unit the social worker I work with it. She’s a really close friend.
As far as “rebound guy” I don’t think that is so accurate. 4 months isn’t 4 weeks. So far we are having a blast getting to know eachother . We have long phone calls nearly every night, and he’s coming over tomorrow night, he’s going to cook me dinner and we are going to watch a movie. We are going to a concert together next Friday.
He is absolutely not avoidant. He has no problem talking about what he wants, expressing his feelings, etc. he’s employed, self sufficient, can go with the flow and deal well with change. We are on the same page about a lot of stuff and we just really have enjoyed our time together so far.
Something just feels…. Right. And comfortable and good. I’ve decided to go with it and embrace it while keeping my eyes wide open.
