Career

Hi Mayank,
I am facing a dilemma. I have to choose between two job options -- the existing one and the new offer which I got some 15 days back.
Currently, I am in the teaching field in a coaching institute which is in my native place where I live with parents (they don't want to move to a new place and I need to see them).
I have another job offer in a metropolitan city which is very far from my native place (2,000 km). Though it is in a reputed institute, it is for the same teaching position.
Now, I am confused as to whether I should continue in my present job or take up the new job.
I love teaching and both jobs offer almost same salary and same position. But the opportunity for growth is better in the new company.
At the same time, I don’t want leave my parents and they don't want shift with me to the new place.
I am totally confused, please help me to decide.
Thanks
Geetu

Ans:

Hi Geetu.

I think these specific inputs will help you take the right decision:

1. Many professionals are moving from metros to smaller towns for better quality of life.

2. Time with parents is invaluable.

3. Changing your job in these uncertain times is not advisable unless you are getting a dream job.

Your current roles seem to give you job satisfaction, market competitive salary and, above all, quality time with your family.

I would suggest that you make the most of it and continue with your current role.

Relationship
I 32F have been dating my boyfriend for about a year now. He has a young daughter from his previous marriage, and they share custody. I’ve been trying to get along with his ex-wife, but it’s been really difficult. She often contacts him for things that aren’t urgent and it feels like she’s overstepping into our relationship, especially when it comes to decisions about their daughter. I understand that they need to co-parent, but I feel like I’m always left out or made to feel uncomfortable. My boyfriend says he tries to balance everything, but sometimes I feel like his ex-wife has more influence in his life than me. How can I set healthy boundaries with her without causing tension, and how can I talk to my boyfriend about how I’m feeling without sounding like I’m being controlling?
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you are in a tricky spot but it is important to understand that when it comes to their child, they have the right to make decisions and ignore everyone else's, even yours. You should keep your relationship and their co-parenting situation separate. Having said that, if you think your BF's ex is overstepping, communicate that to your partner, while letting him know that it bothers you and might even create friction in your relationship. An open and honest discussion is the only way around it. If expressing your discomfort is causing tension or considered ‘controlling,’ then you need to rethink the relationship.

I am sure your partner is truly trying to balance things, but since he is dating you, he should be aware of the areas where that balance is lacking. Communication is the only way.

Hope this helps.
