My Parents Judge My Partner’s Career: Here’s How It Affects Us
But especially the bad news
I’m definitely not allowed to share any bad news pertaining to my partner’s career. If something bad happens, like he loses a client, we have to have a game plan on how we’re going to talk about this change. We will use very calculated language to make it all sound like something different. It would be nice if we felt we could tell them bad news and just get comfort and support, but we know we can’t. We know the “I told you so’s” will be on their way—not the, “You’ll get ‘em next time.”
