Alicia: Before I jump to conclusions, should I actually just ask her if she met someone new? I didn’t get that impression when we had the “talk” as she only suggested it as an option for us to figure things out.

Anita: So the trip is actually the first weekend of March. She suggested we take a break until that Friday before the trip, which also coincides with my last day on the job. Could it simply be that my obvious unhappiness with my job is affecting the relationship immensely? I’ve been working 55-80 hours all of January and will continue until the end of February.
