So.
I just found out that the job I've been wanting is MINE.
I get the top range of pay that I wanted.
I get to finish out this job and start seamlessly with the new job.
Benefits, 401k, parking, the WHOLE bag.
And I'm not happy at all.
Because of him.
I write him a letter on Sunday. Telling him how I've been feeling. To which I'm told: "We'll talk about the email tomorrow, in person. Have a good evening."
Then he gets sick.
Monday passes and we email a few times and text a few times that day, Tuesday - a bit of the same but I call him that evening and he doesn't pick up - I don't leave a message. Wednesday a little emailing during work and I call him after my second job - no answer, no message left.
Today...I refuse to start conversation and let him. He waits until 2pm to send anything - but he doesn't ask how my interview went, doesn't ask how I am, he tells me a short quip about his office. I respond telling him about my new job and I get nothign back.
So I call him when I get off work. No answer. This time I leave a message basically saying I'm wondering if he's ever going to call me back.
I know he's sick, but you'd think after dating for six months he'd give a shit.
All I can think about is resolving this. If I need to I want to know if I should be walking away NOW. But I have to wait. I jsut want to talk to him.
I'm soooooooo pissed. I can't even be happy about my job.

Have you actually considered going to see your boyfriend? If he is sick take him something and see what his reaction is then maybe things will become a little clearer, his reaction to the email and the job, the interenet is a funny old place and it's very easy to misread people, I hope things work out for you.
Posted by: at September 16, 2005 12:56 AMBe happy about your new job; it has nothing to do with him. Don't let a relationship, especially one only six months old, define who you are. He soounds pretty self-absorbed to me, usually a sign of someone who is emotionally unavailable.
You say you "know" he is sick. How do you know? I agree with the above commenter: drop in on him and see what's what. It sounds to me like you're the one doing all the work in this relationship.
Posted by: at September 16, 2005 7:13 AMI say fuck'em. Even after telling him in e-mail about the new job, he can't even acknowledge it in a reply, he's being a jerk. Few people get what they shoot for in life, don't let this guy ruin that for you. If he had one ounce of respect from what his mama should've taught him, regardless of being sick, this guy could've at least answered the damn phone, or at least replied back to your e-mail with a 'Congrats, leave me the hell alone.'
So yeah, fuck'em.
Posted by: at September 16, 2005 3:33 PMYep. The above commenter is right on the money. Don't let this jerk make you act like a needy little girl with low self-esteem. You don't need him, you have you.

Posted by: at September 17, 2005 2:19 PMI would love to be involved with a woman that has a career such as you. Your so called boyfriend must be stupid. My best wishes for you and your new position. And may life serve you up someone more deserving of what you have to offer.
Mr. Lonely
