There is background and much of it played out on here but i don't want to do an rpic post.
After many years of mh issues (that im stoll on meds for) i have just been offered a full time job.
I'll be doing something i love in a very "safe" environment for me (familiar) for not that much money but literally 2 minutes walk from my.house. I'll have to retrain and it will take 3 years.
Im happy. nervous with moments of what have i done? concerned te childcare but its workable. been sahm for 10 years.
But
dp is not pleased for me. he is making the right noises but when pushed admits to being disappointed. feels the job wont challenge me enough and doesn't pay enough. I have a phd but ive no real post doc experience and there are other reasons i haven't persued acareer in the field and now its been too long.
Im so hurt by his reaction. This isn't a high flying job but it is definitely challenging. last year i was pretty much a basket case. my employer has shown faith in me .say they are thrilled to have me and actually gave me the job when they had already chosen a candidate (i feel bad about that).
i just want dp to be proud of me :(
