I’m starting to see my bf as emotional baggage and feeling very claustrophobic. He’s intimidated by my job, he can’t stand to listen to me talk about work even for 5 min; he’s started doing this thing being very insistent with pda and the harder he pushes … the more I just say “no.” I’m not a prop/toy/trophy/side piece/cheerleader/emotional anchor/house maid…. For free. I don’t mind pda. But I don’t like someone mackin’ all over me when it’s disingenuous and has nothing really to do with me.

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month. They decided to go with an internal candidate after it came down to me and him. The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
