You were angling for second-in-command so it comes as a surprise to be awarded the top position. Step into the role. You’ll see it was made to order all along.
Developments in your partner’s life will soon have an enormous impact on you. In the past this was your cue to duck and cover but now it’s time to rise and shine.
You wished for change on the work front and you got it. Whether this is a moment for regret or the impetus to charge forward into the unknown is all up to you.
Hopefully you’re moving with the current of events, because if you’re not then you risk getting swept away.
Just because your partner is going through a rough time doesn’t give him license to make life miserable. It’s time for you to work out some ground rules.
You dreamed of the day when you got to tell off that client or employer who took you for granted, but now that you’re moving on to bigger and better things it just doesn’t matter.
