Parallels, and plenty to do

Much as I went through a 'What have I done?' phase after coming out to my wife last week, she's had a similar experience about the situation with her job during the course of today. Like me, though, I think she's burnt her bridges, and needs to look forward to what comes next, as opposed to regretting what's passed, and I've told her so. We spent quite a while earlier looking at job and housing options, courtesy of the internet, to the point where my wife's eyes were starting to glaze over more than a little. The only immediate practical outcome is that we've rung the relevant agency to express an interest in a rented house back in the village we lived in when we first moved to Cornwall, somewhere that all of us are very fond of, so there could be a sliver lining of sorts if circumstances find us there when the dust settles. There was another house, too, one that I would almost sell my soul for, if I had one to sell, and not out of reach financially, either, with a view across a favourite beach of ours and out to sea, although I have to admit it would make transport options very awkward, especially for my daughter to get to and from school. A very appealing daydream, though. Jobwise, we found a couple of things that I certainly believe my wife could do, and do well, albeit in a slightly different field than she's been involved with hitherto, but whether I can convince her, or, probably more significantly, she can convince herself that it's for her remains to be seen.

Love & best wishes to all
