And everything sounds fine. Give her your honest opinion when she asks. And you have a job with a decent salary and can get it up, so there shouldn’t be any huge issues

I do give her my opinion. At her former practice she never had to manage staff so this is a new experience for her and she is learning. Combine that with just starting out and adjusting to being a single parent as well has been stressful for her. She is a pessimist by nature so I try to help her see the positive aspects to the situation. Knowing her history does put some pressure on me especially in the sex dept. she said she would not have cared if he didn’t have a job if he was a good father and took care of other responsibilities as well but he didn’t. I do know she loves her son very much and I have seen her get really upset when he comes home from his dads house looking a certain way. He is adopted and I have never got the feeling from her that she has regretted that decision considering. How her marriage turned out.

Her sister is coming into town this weekend and. It will be the first time I am meeting a member of her family. I found out last night that my dad is coming into town next week so she will get to meet him and my stepmom as well. My mom won’t get to meet her until the holidays assuming we are still together.

I wasn’t criticizing her. I imagine the stress of being a single mom and starting your own practice is very tough. I’m sure the load is heavy.

I was reading this this morning over breakfast and didn't have time to respond.

Bwoop! Bwoop! Bwoop! Danger Will Robinson! Danger!

We can muse amongst ourselves about all sorts of things - and with both apologies to and due deference to kml - from my understanding doctors in many cases tend to be in the "god business". They have an instilled belief that they are right in all things. They are also trained as medical practitioners and not business people or managers so their skills there can at times be lacking.

I'd suggest that anything beyond some validation and perhaps a gentle nudge might be a problem. Your Dr seems happy to take a secondary role in the relationship but in her professional life I expect it's her way or the highway. And you don't want to be road-kill.

Just my 2 cents.

PS - you've come so very far J9 - you should be proud of yourself. I remember only a few months ago when you were always second guessing yourself and trying to find a system/method to success. You seem so very confident now. It's good to see.

Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
