[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was laid off a year ago and I’ve struggled to find something since, well at least well paying anyways. I had some come contracting work here and there but nothing FTE. A lot of my colleagues in the same industry were/are in the same boat because the market has been absolutely awful. Luckily, I had a few interviews the past 2 weeks ago and I got an offer, looks like there’s a very very good chance of getting another tomorrow, just advanced to the next round with another company today, and got an invitation to interview with another company on Friday. I was updating my SO on me moving to the next round with another company and he said, “Where was this a year ago?”. I just stared at him. I responded with, “Really? I’ll let you answer that question”. To which he replied, “I think you wanted to take a year off and just started applying”, followed by a giggle. I looked at him and asked if that’s what he really thought and he said, “Yea”, paused then laughed again and said, “Come on you know I was just joking. Grow up”. I told him that wasn’t funny and it was stupid and he said, “I guess you want to act brand new now that you’re getting a job”. I asked him what he meant by that and he said never mind and tried to change the subject and I asked again what he meant. He finally just said that he was going to bed.

Was I being too sensitive? [/quote]

Yeah, this is typical "thoughtless not-joke that didn't land, followed by accusations of hypersensitivity instead of an apology, and then projecting his deficiencies onto you (the grow up part, which he clearly hasn't done for himself)" and it's usually something kids do.

Then I read your follow-up comment about the BBL nagging. DTMFA. What does this person bring to your life?

You're not overly sensitive for being upset, but you're complicit in your own suffering if you stay with someone so emotionally stunted and devoid of benefit to you life.[/quote]
