he said some really annoying things, that just irked me. Because he felt im letting everyone down by only staying for 4 weeks when i said i would be there till xmas....
I can see his point but given the way he has been with me since i told him about me moving i just cant put up with that until xmas.....
no idea what we're going to do bout money situation tho....Wealth is not measured by currency0 -

You *might* be letting others down but your wellbeing is more important than that and you are more important than that. You didn't do it willfully to get them back, you did it because it was what you had to do.
I can appreciate his point of view, but i woud have hoped for more from the public persona of a man that promotes a holistic approach to wellbeing and self empowerment.

weird thing is, he started talking about it when 4 of us were on lunch....and he asked the other two for their intepretation and they both said you've got to do whats right for you, and most importantly YOUR family.....
Which i think irked him because basically not everyone agreed with his stance on it.
I appreciate that it leaves them short, but contractually I only have to give 4 weeks.....and if he hadnt of behaved the way he has, i'd have stayed longerWealth is not measured by currency0 -
I think you've worked like a trojan - he doesn't deserve you - you are worth more - and one day soon you will be somewhere where you are much more appreciated, valued and happier.... You just have to put up with the carp in between and find any positive things to celebrate along the way....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Just starting to think if we (dh and I) both start thinking positive things are going to happen, i.e he's GOING to get into the fire service....and I am GOING to be able to take a few months off work and we are GOING to move up North, and we are GOING to get to the other side of every the last two years have thrown at us!Wealth is not measured by currency0
