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.

Meanwhile, on planet earth…,

I believe so. But be patient and let every man be master of his time...

Love it

Shall ye bring the cauldron?

Appalled this post is sailing over the heads of so many posters.
It's so well written as well.

I can put you in touch with three witches if you like , they do takeaways but the ingredients wouldn't get them through the food standards agency ratings system

Happy to bring the cauldron. Can you bring eye of frog? The shop by me is right out of them. They've had a run on frogs, newts, anything slimey really. I think people are getting stuff ready for the US midterms...

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

Yeah, that's exactly how Early Middle Ages monarchy worked.

If I were him I’d chop down Birnam Wood pretty sharpish. Just saying…

What's done cannot be undone. Weird sisters, hand in hand.

Maybe he's perfectly happy where he is. I find your behaviour very odd.

The cry is still, 'They come!'"

LTB and run off with the current CEO, it’s the only way

I think it is satirical but idk the reference 🙈

Does the company your husband works for value brown nosers? If so definitely invite the CEO to dinner.

I wonder what the wives of your husband’s competition will cook for the CEO. Maybe they will get a personal chef in for the event. You should do that.

Hello Lady Macbeth or is it Lynette Scavo

In the military there used to be an expectation that the 'wife of' , rarely her own name!, would be involved on aspects of her husband's career, eg an expectation to entertain, overseas they acted like mini-social workers to the wives of young soldiers and even to older wives with far more military and life experience. It used to be that a commission from the ranks might not happen because of the man's wife! Hopefully things will have changed!

I think you are pushing too hard, a man who doesn't want to get involved in office politics is not CEO material.

You're obviously not familiar with the plot of Macbeth ... along with quite a lot of other posters.

It's obviously a spoof thread, but people are enjoying it 😁

I know of at least one wife who slept her way to her husband's promotion!

I think You need to back tf off….

It's all very well having your eye on the tree/prize, but it means nothing if you don't keep the other eye on the woods. Have you checked Birnam for activity recently?

Can you not damned spot the clues?

Of course he will gain confident in his new role and will probably remain respectful of other workmates.

His hard work and staying out of business politics sounds great.
