Well this definitely turned into a pile of chaos.

Since she had the first shift on the sales floor after her and my husband had finished training, she basically went around to the whole dealership and ran her mouth to everyone.

So my husband went into work on Tuesday and his boss nearly fired him because she gave him a [censored] story. So, my husband shows his boss all the texts (which good thing he listened to me about not deleting them, like he wanted to) and now it's a whole she said he said fiasco.

Now nearly all of his co-workers are being hostile to him at work because they think my husband "led on the poor cute new girl" and has brought drama to work. In a sales situation this is definitely bad. My husband has Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off this week so he tried to switch his shift yesterday for Saturday because you make 80 percent of your money in a month from selling on the weekends. His boss said it was fine and then he goes into work this morning and now his boss says that he doesn't want my husband working a full shift with "the girl"

I'm so beyond frustrated, I'm feeling like my financial support need is flying out the window for something my husband didn't even start. I even told him to go out and get this job because he hated his last one, this is definitely not the situation I wanted. I don't even know how he can be at all successful here with a boss that looks at him like he's an idiot and co-workers that want to avoid drama that some ignorant girl caused.

And we have been have insane fights about all of this drama for nearly a week. I think yesterday was the first day we didn't fight about it.

I wonder how honest your husband is being with you and with the posters here. If she is (allegedly) a lesbian as he says, then why do people feel she was "led on". This is a lot of chaos agreed, however I cannot help but feel perhaps your husband is being dishonest somewhere about the nature of his contact TO her (when not in your presence).

If she is a brand new employee then why on earth does your husband know her sexuality? Again, boundaries on his part. 1+1 isn't equaling 2?

So it seems like you guys are back to square 1, fighting again.

Has anyone changed and started following MB principles?

We started to work on the Marriage builders stuff, but yeah have pretty much quit already because of all this drama that has happened.

Though he did buy me a pink stuffed frog yesterday when he went to get himself some medicine, so that does show some effort to meet my affection need.

You are passing from different stage of your life. You have to patience and calm and accept changes flowing in your life rather than being jealous. Keep yourselves cool and don't shut down your treatment. This might be slow but provide your sure results.

This is really bad advice. I know that you are a paid counsellor. All I can say is - heaven help your clients.

You're kidding, right? Do you have a day job? Are you over the age of eighteen? Does your mother know what you're doing on the internet?

It actually sounds like a fortune cookie paper, doesn't it?
