Not remotely suprising.
Quote: Can you pursue your dreams of a career without giving him the if/or question? What if you actually got some interest from the west coast before you had to bring that into the equation?
Yes, I could make sure not to mention any other applications I've put out. Although he already knows that I have been working on my resume and applied for that one job. I used it as an opportunity to DB and ask for his advice and show him that "one-downmanship" the DB counselor recommended. That worked great in the past. But I think H's other issues are too heavy right now.
The problem is he already got wind that I'm looking and I think he's back to assuming I am choosing career over M. He is a black or white kind of thinker. I want to clarify that I would prefer to go wherever he goes. It seems to me that I've said that before. And doesn't me still being here SHOW that too. Maybe not, I don't know.
When H did bring up a breif talk about where he might get stationed next I said that if he was going off to isolated duty again I wasn't staying in this town for that tour. His voice got a high and he said "what?" I didn't mean to threaten him, I just didn't want him to think that I was content to stay in the town I'm in for another of his tours. But, in retrospect I can see how he probably took it as a threat. And he responds to threats by acting as if he couldn't care less about our M, so it doesn't look like he could be hurt.
