If it doesn't, then I would say it's time for a heart to heart. BTW, WH didn't really realize how serious I was about everything until he found out Friday night that I had looked at apartments and lined up cosigners. He thought it was all just hot air. Sometimes I think that they think that we're bottomless pits of tolerance, and they need to be reminded that we have a breaking point, and you're standing on it, asshole.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-8155631180849891472008-09-21T04:26:00.000-04:002008-09-21T04:26:00.000-04:00Dayum...Linda D. in SeattleDayum...<BR/><BR/>Linda D. in SeattleBRAINCHEESEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04478852688645497036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-17435800510103420262008-09-20T10:52:00.000-04:002008-09-20T10:52:00.000-04:00Wow Tricia, I'm really sorry.

Like you, I have had jobs before that I came to truly despise, but never have I walked out without protecting myself. Over the last year or so, I've been increasingly questioning what I want most to do with my life too, and have seriously intensified my savings efforts. More and more, a part of me is thinking that at some point in the next few years I may take a sabbatical of 6 mos to a year too; however, if I ever actually do it, I will do it with a plan and plenty of money to hold me over and my savings intact. I would NEVER be happy with my SO footing the bill, even though he would. Likewise, Pete shouldn't be putting you in this position, particularly since he's done it twice before. Well, best case scenario, he will actually get the job and get a bit of a break for the few weeks between too. I am hoping for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7462129981306834664.post-28756867667218585542008-09-18T23:44:00.000-04:002008-09-18T23:44:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry.I really hope you can talk some sense...I'm so sorry.<BR/><BR/>I really hope you can talk some sense into him either way. He has to realize right now isn't the time to be "taking a break."

I think you're doing the righ...Man, I got nothin'. <BR/>I think you're doing the right thing to wait because I NEVER say what I mean when I'm pissed off.<BR/>I've always thought you were amazing and I'm SO SORRY your husband doesn't see how totally awesome you are. I mean, that he doesn't appreciate you in a way that he'd know this would NOT be a good way to deal with things.<BR/>A story that probably doesn't relate. My first husband did a similar thing. He drank himself out of several jobs and finally got sober. <BR/>When he did, he told me that, instead of getting a job, he needed a break. Meanwhile, I'd been totally burdened picking up the pieces after his many drunken escapades (which was all MY responsibility. I could have left it to him, but chose to clean up the mess). <BR/>What I found out years later was that he'd TRIED to get a job, but no one would hire him because he was an alcoholic. <BR/>We got a divorce, but I wasted a lot of years believing he needed a break when in reality he just couldn't get that job.<BR/>My point? Maybe there's more here than just "I need a break". It's possible.<BR/>When you're calmer, maybe you can ask him.<BR/>Or not. LOL.<BR/>Big hugs to you though.Jennifer McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613714863799177911noreply@blogger.com
