[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where's the other thread everyone is referring to? I've searched but can't find it. [/quote]

I can't find it either. It went on for 30+ pages. Basically, in his first post, the OP said that his wife was offered a really amazing job with a mentor in California, but that he did not want to move because they lived in their "forever house" and his kids have activities that are important to them. His oldest child is 16 and on student government. What the OP failed to mention for several pages was that he had an affair with a coworker and that he still works with his AP and will not consider looking for a new job. He is in counseling but he doesn't seem to be taking it very seriously and seems to believe that apologizing and admitting that he was wrong should fix the situation. He also made some mean-spirited side remarks about his wife ("can't lose what you never had" in reference to her career) and suggested that she would be punishing him for the rest of his life for a one-time mistake. He also picks and chooses which questions to answer, giving very little detail and [b]ignoring everything that doesn't confirm his worldview[/b].[/quote]
What questions do you have that I failed to answer because they were outside my "worldview"?

I don't that it was outside your "worldview," but you definitely were selective in answering questions. Off the top of my head, I remember you ignoring the repeated question of whether you'd discussed the job offer in your marriage counseling, and what your counselor had to say about it.[/quote]
It was brought up during several counseling sessions and is an issue in which we still argue about. Our counselor wants me to explore the idea more instead of being completely closed to it but also recognizes that we shouldn't move our struggling family to a new place with no support system.

What did you and your wife finally decide? I presume she's had to give a decision by now. If you didn't move, how does she feel about that? Is that what you were fighting about when your son overheard you?

Why did you have the other thread deleted?[/quote]
