The husband is taking a hard look at his career. His company has just gone through a large reorg with many job cuts. He is very uncertain about his new job and his new manager. He is pretty sure that he could earn another $30K or $40K at a different company.
He has traveled to Dallas this week for internal meetings. He is having good talks with his new manager.
C2 and I had dinner last night. Over dinner he mentioned that he had to "be on" when we have dinner together-- be a nicer person-- be a little more talkative. Sometimes he just wants to hang out with someone and not talk about things, or be nice.
Late on, I told the husband this. He laughed a little.
From that point of view, the husband is the opposite of C2. The husband is uncomfortable when he's around people and they aren't talking to each other.

That is a good jump in pay if it doesn't come with added stress.
Reassessing Career options seems to be prevalent these days. May the next chapter in your Husband's Career decisions be on point. As for people communicating or not, sometimes Silence and just being present with one another, for some people, is enough. I'm talkative but The Man is not at all, so he can often be in a room with anyone and say nothing or very little and it doesn't have to be awkward at all if you really know the person and that conversation isn't a necessity for them.
