AIBU for saying my DH needs to man tf up

[ambitiousqueen]

DH has just gotten a very good job promotion, and I am very proud of him. Obviously. Lovely salary, lovely title, everyone congratulating him etc. BUT. He is destined for an even greater promotion (CEO level). Don't ask how I know this.
The problem is DH keeps saying he doesn't want to "get involved in office politics" and that “nature will take its course” I've tried encouraging him. I've said, hypothetically, if there was a person standing between my DH and the CEO position, then perhaps one might consider... removing the obstacle. metaphorically I mean
Also, I may have suggested that DH invite the current CEO round for a nice little dinner.Purely hospitality, obviously. DH said he was worried about the consequences, particularly the whole "divine judgement, eternal damnation" side of things. Blah blah blah
Honestly, he's overthinking it.
I am NOT saying DH should kill anyone. Obviously not... at least not with his eyes open. I'm only saying that hypothetically, if one wanted to rise to the very top, one might need to show a little more ambition
AIBU to think DH needs to man up and seize his opportunity?
FWIW, I’ve already laid out the plan, and the metaphorical dagger is just waiting to be used.

@Enigma54 we are not talking abt this rn

No, just Brush Up Your Shakespeare!

The “metaphorical dagger” comment absolutely sent me But yes girl, stand by your man and get him that CEO position!

The OP has obviously written her opening post as a parody of Macbeth - look at her name 🙄

Not very well done either

2/10 OP.

If only you were man you could do it yourself.

Is this your first attempt at writing a cheap telenovela??

Is this a joke thread? Hello 1960 and Terry and June

Sounds like a lot of officers' wives who like to wear their husband's rank, a neighbour one collared me as I arrived home from work to proudly announce 'We've got our Majority!' she was most put out when I, a mere civilian, had to ask what she meant! Apparently her husband was being promoted to Major!

This one is simple. Imply he's a coward by saying something like:

“Art thou afeard
To be the same in thine own act and valour
As thou art in desire?”

Then he'll bend to your will, and you'll both live happily ever after. (I think.)

Watch out for moving foliage in your garden.

BTW, do you believe in ghosts? No particular reason.

You need to lay off the 🍷

I disagree, it's bloody brilliant. 9.5/10

Props to OP.

Goodness, you know what happened to Lady Macbeth, yes?

And i bet none of them put the effort in themselves living through others achievements it seems

You do you- you go get a promotion or whatever it is, take over the world but leave him to enjoy what he’s earned for now- I’d hate someone saying ‘you know, you can do even better!’ Plus: the phrase mss as n up is one of those horrible horrible phrases used throughout history to make people feel less than.

Yeah women are not capable of anything themselves

No idea what I've just read but no..You need to give it a rest OP. You can sort out your career, leave your DH to deal with his.

Clearly your mind is full of scorpions. With that in mind I suggest that you invite the big boss over for dinner and look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.

Your husband sounds a better person than you!

And great to get a good job on merit, not by being an utter c**t.

I call troll - this is Christopher Marlowe's post.

Hubby needs to be bold, bloody and resolute. If he screws his courage to the sticking place, he'll not fail.

Terry and June was nice though! None of this crap ;-)

No amount of money in the world would tempt me to be this kind of person and live this kind of life.

I can't work out if the fact this is a Lady Macbeth parody is genuinely going over the heads of 80% of posters on this thread?!

Poor Man, leave him be. It's his job, he has to do the work involved, not you. Why does it matter to you so much? Money, status? Oh yes that will be it.
