So, B has two phone calls with potential new employers this weekend. One in Atlanta and the other is really far away.
He's scared. It'd be a big change for him.
I'm scared. It'd be hard to let him go.
I've tried long distance relationships before and they just don't seem to work for me. * sigh *
My first instinct is flight. Rational or irrational, it is what it is. I don't want to be surprised. I don't want to have to endure the torturous countdown until he leaves.
Of course, it could be a moot point, right? I mean, he's got a lot of things to consider, i.e. his children and how that would impact them, his ex wife and how that would work out with the kids, etc.
Also, I cannot tell him that if he had to move that might mean our romantic relationship would end. That's selfish and not fair. I WANT him to be happy and fulfilled in his job. I WANT him to do what's best for his family. The thing is - I'm not part of his family and therefore I feel like I don't have any say in this whatsoever. (And that's how it should be.)
Patience, grasshopper.
The waiting is the hardest part.
Fuck.
p.s. The Atlanta gig would allow him to work mostly from home. The other interview rubbed him the wrong way. While it's not even remotely a possibility that he'd move anytime soon - it's still something I needed to ponder and get out of my head. I'm a worrier. What can I say? * sigh *
p.p.s. Just got word from B that it fell through because they want someone inhouse. I hate that for him. I know he was excited about the prospect. Meh.
