What not to do when your partner is making a career change decision

(just a fun post)
Umm...dont do any of these when your partner pulls the ground right beneath your feet by spilling at the eleventh hour that he is switching career (not just job mind you) :


i. dont slap him and dont shake him violently around the shoulder in the hope that some sense will seep into him or that his disorganized brain will somehow fall into place. Dont even think about doing these two things; believe me it shows in the face, it does.


ii. dont try to talk about food when he asks what you think about his decision; he'll gather that you are worried about this move.
iii. dont tap your fingers or try to blow non-existent dust off ur nails; he'll gather you are trying to change the subject.


iv. dont try to think about how you think this is the most stupid thing you have heard any one say in a long time,


who in the world would want to change his career in their mid 30s?
isn't the world unstable as it is?


But dont let him even guess that behind that charming patient smile of yours lurks these thoughts. Career decisions are really sensitive you know, its like when they ask us if we are having our periods if they cannot decipher our moods.


v. dont let him see that your deepest fear is that may be you  coming into his life made him take this decision to change career, may be your presence is causing a certain stress in his life. 


        so basically, keep a cool facade. There's always time alone to sip your cold tea and think about all the things that you had been bursting to shout out at him but which you didn't. Do remind yourself that it was not the job but the man that made you fall  for him in the first place. Although of course, his cool job too had a certain appeal, dont you dare think in that line!!!!!
