Aaaack! I don't like the answer to your question PM..lol Yes, I could live with him not taking this job. I think that's the best decision for him to make right now. So the thing is... why won't I just tell him my opinion? The answer is what I don't like in myself. I don't want to reassure him that I'll be fine with him working with OW until the right job comes along. That's like letting them win. Stubborn, huh? After telling him that this was my number one issue, it's like rolling over to tell him that I'll be OK if he doesn't go to the other job.
I'm being prideful and stupid on this one. I guess what I should do is tell him that it's OK, I'll understand the spot he's in.. that I won't take his decision as an effort to continue to hurt me and that I'll be patient until the right job comes along and we both decide it's best. It's like saying it's OK with me to continue to be in contact with her though.. I'm having a hard time making peace with it. I guess I should choose to be happy instead of choosing to be right.. or something like that. I'm gonna have to suck it up and let him off the hook on this I know. But, in the meantime, he's trying extra hard to make contacts and send out resumes. I'm also afraid that if he thinks it's OK to wait for the right job.. he'll stop making an effort to get out of there entirely. and.. I still do hate it that they see each other all the time.
