[quote=Anonymous]I’m wrapping up a project at work. One of the projects I could express interest in working on next would give me more responsibilities in a roll I’ve wanted for a few years. But the topic is related to something fairly heated on both sides of the aisle., but doesn’t really weigh in directly on the contentious topic.  I’m struggling to find a good anonymous example, but let’s say it looks at teacher salaries in schools with a large percentage of immigrant children. My DH wanted me to turn the project down because of the risk, however small, that it would put a target on my back from people disgruntled with the results of the project. I think there was a bigger / more likely risk in terms of my career if I didn’t express interest in the new role. Well, I found out I got the role a week ago (got an email). I didn’t want him to rain on my parade so I didn’t tell him. And then we’ve been busy and he’s been really grumpy this week / short tempered for reasons I’m not clear on (I assume work related) so I still haven’t told him. I assume he’ll eventually ask, or over hear a work call, or be standing next to me when someone asks what project I’m working on. But I feel if I tell him he’ll just be worried and grumpy. I’d kind of rather wait until it’s humming along. But I’ve never kept something that feels important to me from him for this long. (We’ve been married about 20 years.) should I tell him? Or just let him figure it out eventually. It’s kind of a bummer - in my dream world I’d be celebrating this new role with him. [/quote]
