My husband is in a moral dilemma over his decision to turn down a potentially lucrative job. It would almost double his current salary, but it would mean selling beer made by big companies. He is adamant that he is not going to take the job, and has spent the last hour telling me all the reasons why he can't do it.
I'm not home yet but MH and I opened a really nice bottle of wine last night and there's one glass left that I am can't wait to get home to (and MH, I want to get home to him too...)

BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!

It's ok to admit that you want the wine more. lol.

I am having a couple beers, eating double stuff Oreos and catching up on Outlander because my H is out of town. DS is in bed and I am trying to relax after a shitty day.

Moscato for me. DD has suddenly turned into Satan this past week while H has been working a lot leaving me to deal with her alone. I may have opened the bottle at 4. (We got home at 3:30, haha)

I can take it anymore. I'm drinking.
Do you want him to take the job? Or do you not care at this point? :-)
My grandmother died three months ago today. In her honor, I did her favorite thing: had dessert before dinner. I'm now not hungry for chicken and am highly satisfied from my chocolate chip mint.
I can! I'm just not. Lol. I've decided to only drink on weekends. It was getting excessive. I was self medicating my anxiety with good ol' alcohol, and that wasn't working out well, haha.
I have had a killer headache all afternoon and I'm afraid drinking might make it worse. But I am here trying to get caught up on some threads here. I spent most of my free time today reading PLL theories haha. Also Bachelorette tonight!
@wallflwr926, Does he need to take the job financially? I wish we could turn down an offer like that but based on salary alone we would most likely take the job (unless it involved killing kittens or something equally awful)

I would like to have more money, but not at the cost of his happiness. If he's misserable we won't be able to enjoy things.
Right now more than anything, I just want him to stop talking about the salary increase. If there is no chance he is going to pursue the opportunity why keep discussing it.
****** That's so sweet that you are doing dessert for dinner tonight in honor of your grandmother. My grams passed away a year and a half ago. I miss the cookies she used to make.

Sounds like he is looking for justification that he is not going to take it. He's looking to you for approval or he needs to talk it out for himself. I'd let him rant about it for a bit. He probably just needs to get it all out.

Well it could potentially pay what our current combined salaries are, so I would say yes, it would have been a good financial move. Unfortunately, MH thinks with his heart and not his head. And once he's made a decision, he rarely budges. He's got personal beef with one of the beer companies that he would have to sell product for and he can't get past it. When we were discussing everything earlier I did actually say it's not like you're killing kittens and puppies.
I'm over it. It would have been nice to have money, but he's not willing to sell his soul. He sucks. (i'm joking. he just talks way too much sometimes.)

Personally, I would totally sell out for more cashola.
But I completely understand not wanting to talk about it anymore. DH researched trucks for 8 months before he even went and test drove any. By the time he was ready to buy, I couldn't even deal with talking about trucks anymore. Shut the F up and buy the damned truck!!
