Everyday I think about quitting & how much I hate my job. When do I say enough is enough and quit? I have a family to support & a ton of student loans so it not like I can be unemployed. Just recently switched careers so it's unlikely I'd be able to find something better soon. I feel so trapped. Sometimes I have thoughts that if I'm seriously hurt I can take time off suddenly & have a real break but I know that's not good. (More in comments.)

Recently started seeing a therapist and whenever we would discuss our arguments, the therapist would emphasize that she won’t determine who is right/wrong. But she would always side with him in subtle ways. For example, I discussed a scenario in which my SO was controlling, she said “oh, I don’t see how that’s controlling.” Am I overthinking this?

Seeking advice on chasing up on an email. Mid-June I had applied for a vacancy with a fashion company based in Germany. I didn't hear anything for a while so I contacted the recruiting email address first week of July to ask what was going on.
