Ooh congrats @Ainjoule that's so awesome! Keep us posted! Actually makes me wonder if we should have a job-hunters thread of some sort, where folks can share ideas, encouragement, interview tips, all that kinda thing!
@Healandlove Just wanted to share another little thing that I found helpful re: your husband needing to get a bit better at re-opening the discussion. Something that really helped me was asking the person I was in conflict with to give me an approximate time frame of how long they needed to be alone for. It's a LOT easier to manage my anxiety about 'fixing things' if I know that the issue will be addressed in 72 hours or a week or whatever it is. I also have found great benefit in always keeping in mind the idea that when it comes to relationship conflict, it ought to be 'You and me vs. the problem', not 'You vs. me'. Promotes a collaborative approach and shifts blame to be circumstances-based!
Welcome @Sunda-Billi 😍 I actually always wanted a 'van-cat'! A kitty who would be super down for road trips hehe. But then my two bubbas were born underneath my house, and have grown up to be home-bodies!! But I don't mind cos they're just too cute hehe
Howdy @Shaz51 hope your Wednesday is treating you well! And yeah you're so right, knowing when to fight and when to walk away is a skil in itself! Sometimes, walking away is a fight, an internal one haha.
