So, as most of you probably know, FI complains about his job a lot. I understand his complaints most of the time because they make perfect sense and he really is mostly unappreciated there. Well sometimes I feel like it's too much and he's being paranoid about it all. Then I feel bad for thinking that, especially when I say how I feel in as nice and supportive way that I can and then he quickly dismisses it by saying "I'll talk to you later love you bye" (all run together and fast).
Now he thinks his boss is trying to push him out of his job even though she's told him in private that she doesn't know how she'd replace him. Sounds like a really dumb move for her to make to me under those circumstances.
On another note, I'm convinced she's bipolar because one minute she's praising him and the next she's siding with the community against him without even asking his side of the story. Most of the time, the community is wrong because all they want is their special snowflake children in the paper just for the heck of it. The sense of entitlement the parents have for their children there is completely insane, she sides with them which only feeds into it and makes it bigger.
He's been applying to all kinds of jobs and only had one interview. I feel really bad for him because I want him to be happy but at the same time I am a believer in making the most out of your situation and he pretty much refuses to do that. He's bringing me down with him when he's constantly complaining about it.
I look for jobs for him to apply for all of the time and send them to him. I do extra things for him and be extra perky and I listen to him. I don't know what else to do.
In short, I'm exhausted from constantly having to try and make FI see the bright side of things and show him that he won't be stuck in this job forever. It's hard when he applies for tons of places and gets one interview out of it all.
GAH! What should I do? Am I being a bad FI?
