What would you do if you were Meredith and you know you were costing your bf...

his dream job? If Meredith finds out that she's the reason Derrick isn't getting the promotion, what do you think she'll do?
What would you do in this situation, if you were her? I'm not sure. I'd hate to think that someday my boyfriend might resent me for keeping him from his dream job. I'd probably pull away to give him the opportunity to go for it. Then, I'd see if he came back for me, or tried to keep me with him. That way, it would be his own decision, so that he couldn't resent me.
Tough situation though...hope I don't ever end up having to deal with that. If I were Derrick, I'd stay with Meredith. In my experience, most jobs don't make you happy--it's people and my relationships with them that are the most fulfilling.

Unfortunently Meredith and Derrick are in an impossible situation. They waited so long to finally be together and things were going so well for them. If I was Meredith I would probabl let Derrick go once again, but I would let him know that this time I am not waiting around for him. And tell him not to come back to me until he was sure he wanted to be with me. Derrick pretty much strung Meredith along all last season until she started dating McVet. Then he decided he had to have her. Then he wanted to break up because he was having trust issues when he found out about Addison & McSteamys long-term affair and he told her to choose the other guy. Then he wanted to be with her again. He is too wishy washy. I know that Meredith comes with a lot of baggage but so did he. It wasn't easy for her to forgive him for not telling her he was married and then to see him try to make his marriage work with Addison. I know that he has goals and ambitions but like you said jobs won't make you happy. If he is not careful he will end up old and alone just like the chief.

Wow...what a great comment. How about we meet up for a drink, and you can hit me over the head when I'm doing something as dumb as Meredith in a relationship! I totally didn't put all that together like you just did. However, in my relationships, I never see things until it's too late either!
I bet your friends hate you when they're in crappy relationships. Then, about 3 months after they break up, I bet you get an appologetic phone call from them, don't you? Saying they're sorry for not listening to you? Don't you just love being a girl? Geez!
Now that I hear your thoughts, I'm really mad at Derrick. How dare he string her along then decide to drop her because she's getting in the way of his job. Jerk! And you're totally right. He only came around when there was competition, and he was jealous. Forget McDreamy. Meredith can do better!!

I agree. Your comment was right on. Watching the storyline now with Derek pulling away because he wants the Chief job makes me want to smack him upside the head.

I think in a relationship you have to be honest and the problem is that they arent being Honest with each other. Meredith wasnt Honest about the incident where she stop swimming for her life.And now Derrick is not being honest by telling her what he is thinking.I think the chief is being ignorant about the situation cause either way Meredith is going to lose if Derrick decides to leave her for the job.Or when she finds out then maybe she'll want to stand back. I agree , Tough break , I hope this gets resolve for the better. I cant wait till the next 2 hours of Greys !
