Today I was reminded why there is a high divorce rate in emergency services (no, I'm not getting divorced, nor am I thinking about it). It's difficult to sit back and do nothing when your significant other is so miserable with their job. A year and a half ago, J supported me while I quit a full time job (with amazing benefits I may add), to figure out exactly what I want to do with my life. Today I'm applying to the Radiography program at LCCC, working at the store and thinking of applying for a killer position at UW. How I wish I could tell him to quit and find something that will make him happy. I know my quitting has put us in financial strain (thus a little relationship strain), but J has supported whatever I have decided to do with myself. Some days I think it would be easier to pack up and move. I've also thought of applying to various places for him and let him decide whether we go or not. There are many days I think about leaving here, but it is home. It's a great place to raise kids and I love being so close to my family, but if he's not happy, I want to make him happy. Hopefully things resolve themselves when this election is over (which I can't freaking wait for btw).
'til next time
