I work with my DP. We have been together for about five years.
I have always made it clear that I would love to progress in our organisation. He has always maintained that he has had management experience and didn’t enjoy it.
There will be an opportunity in our company soon to apply for a manerial role. It is the perfect job for me and one (without sounding big headed, I think I could do well).
I was talking about it with DP and he firstly said that he would apply but if he got it would decline it so that they offered it to me. Then, when he found out the pay increase, he said he was definitely going to apply.
The thing is, I don’t have the direct management experience that he gained ten years ago. So, in all likelihood he will get the job ahead of me.
I can’t help feeling upset that, despite appearing to suppprt me when the job was theoretical and maintaining that it didn’t interest him, he is now willing to compete with me for it. I suppose this is one of the downsides of dating in the workplace.
Am I being over dramatic? I don’t think I would be so upset if he’d maintained all along that this was something he was interested in.
