So this is either going to turn out really good or really bad. My partner's store is closing and she's being laid off. I make significantly more than her, and thankfully can actually support us both. She's going through a lot of transition and has never really taken the time to figure out what she wants in life. The type of job she had was what she previously wanted, but no longer wants to work in that field. So she's going to take a few months to figure things out. I'm not going to push her to get a new job, and she'll probably spend these next few months riding her bike, possibly volunteering, and whatever else she wants to do. Secretly I'm terrified she'll slip into being a teenager and just play video games all day. Her income did help, and I'm afraid if anything happens to my income were screwed. But I know if she doesn't take this time now she'll never figure herself out or find a job she really likes. She's never had something like this before and is very excited. So I guess I'm going to see what happens when you give an aspie complete freedom, and unconditional support to follow whatever passions she might have.
