Danie Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Work related stress. We’ve finally gotten to the bottom of the recent issues that we’ve been having. I understand more fully now why he’s been acting like an ass and why I’ve been pulling away from him. Not mine, his. He’s extremely burnt out with his current job, duties, and lack of support. Long story short he’s been at his current employer for 15 yrs. He’s assumed additional duties over the years and he’s tired of it all. I don’t blame him, I’d have moved on from that job a long time ago. So the game plan is 1) he applied for a different job within the same company – if he gets the job great if not plan B…which is that he resigns from the additional duties that he assumed and he starts looking for a different job. As long as we keep talking and keep each other informed on our issues (work, etc) then we’ll be ok. I can’t and I won’t go back to the way we used to be. We both started down that old path and now we’re heading back to the right path for us. I think the thing we both need to keep doing is paying attention to our own ways of communication with each other….to recognize when we are actively choosing the path of least resistance…and to actively choose the other path. In other words, for me I need to not withdraw into myself and he needs to not give into his inner *******. Link to post Share on other sites
january2011 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't know what the back story is, but well done on figuring out the root cause and making a plan for the future. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
