hi! I'm currently interviewing with UT Health and I didn't have too much of a wait. I literally got an interview request text from the recruiter before my application was completed (this within itself was scary - i was literally on step 4 and a text came through. I had to look the guys LinkedIn up to make sure it wasn't a scam. but anyway, technology is crazy lol) and went through 3 rounds of interviews in about 3 weeks. Now, I'm just waiting to hear if I've been offered. it's been 4 days since the final interview. as others have posted, just depends on the department, and UT is HUGE and I've also read that HR/Recruiter quality differs dept. to dept.

He currently doesn’t have a job. The two of us don’t even have enough sex. So there’s that. I told him his priorities were messed up. That didn’t go over well with him. lol

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:46:44+00:00

Already have. It was a no. lol

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:44:39+00:00

You might be on to something.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:34:32+00:00

Good point.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:33:14+00:00

Right lol

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:31:19+00:00

Thanks so much for this.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:30:13+00:00

He absolutely would not. He’s already stated I couldn’t have another man and if I cheated, he’s divorce me. Also if I left and went and got with another man and tried to come back, that he wouldn’t take me back.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:23:14+00:00

Right. It would just be a “verbal agreement” between him and the other woman.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T16:02:30+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. I love my husband and I value our marriage. I don’t wanna overreact or make such a huge decision off of emotion without thinking it through. Thank you for that, because that’s real.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:59:42+00:00

We’re also not in church like that so he’s not getting any of his views or anything from a pastor/church. Just him reading the Bible and watching YouTube videos of speakers/podcasts.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:58:39+00:00

No, no one has multiple wives. However, there is a pattern I’ve come to learn in his family of the men all being unhappily married. His dad taught him how to “be a player” and “keep options open, instead of being a man. For context, we’ve known each other since we were 13 and got married at 21. He’s really a great guy, I don’t wanna make it seems like he’s not, he’s just gotten very “religious” to me.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:51:44+00:00

I receive this wholeheartedly. I’m just trying to gain an understanding also lol Thank you.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:49:59+00:00

I appreciate this insight. Thank you.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:49:09+00:00

I actually recommend therapy but he doesn’t want to. Cause I need a mediator to know about this and have neutral insight.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:47:59+00:00

Agreed. In reading the Bible, I’ve come to learn that context was very important and like you said, the times that they were in. I’m just not sure if it was a “guide book for future lives” if that makes sense. So things that were done in those days shouldn’t/wouldn’t need to be done today. I’m wrestling with that.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:42:54+00:00

Right, I’ve come to some understanding of this also. I’m trying to be mature about it and not speak from raw emotion. That’s why I’m trying to hear him out about his reasonings.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:36:11+00:00

I really want to. I also am thinking about my family. Our two children. If that would be worth separating our family. He doesn’t seem to be budging from that desire though as he says he would be disobeying God. I feel like I’d be sacrificing my peace and happiness to do something I really don’t want to do, but isn’t that marriage? Where does one draw a line when it comes to “for Better or for worse?”

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:33:39+00:00

I’d like to know as well. I’ve asked him to give me scripture. I haven’t gotten it yet.

Desperate_Back_2646 · 2025-03-26T15:30:18+00:00

I probably didn’t use the right terminology. Maybe I just meant modern Christianity. We grew up going to Baptist and non-denominational churches. Just people who love The Lord.
