I thought I had acted supportive of his getting the job. I told him maybe he could work his way up through the company and may not even need grad school, or maybe they would send him to grad school (some companies do). I didn’t bad mouth his fiancé to him at all (I know better).

But I just came to a plan; I’ll ask and expect nothing from him, I’ll only give to him what I want to give to him, and I’ll act like everything he does is great. We’ll all get along just fine.
