I'm sure that my wife and I have held each other back from making the most and best out of our lives at some point in time. We have been together for over 12 years. Today though is the first time I feel that I've made her turn down a big opportunity because it wasn't right for our family and mainly for me.
Today is the day she matches for a post-doctoral position to finish up getting her license, and she turned down the job offered to her in Virginia plain and simply because as a family, I felt it best we move back to Oregon.
This is a terribly awful situation for me because I feel responsible for shooting down her goals and dreams for my own selfish reasons. Whether that logic is true or not, it's how I feel right now.
The worst part of the entire situation is that we don't exactly have a job in Oregon. We simply are hoping something will come about in the next few months. Meanwhile, we need to pack our stuff in anticipation of moving back across the country.
sigh.
Don't know what else to say.
