We went through this twice. P left a job to follow me thinking he would find a job easily in the new town. Took over a year and he ended up living in Virginia while I lived in Alabama. The second time, I had refused to quit my job when he asked and then the contract he was hired for didn't come through so he was let go. If I had quit, we would have been in a really bad spot.
As it was, he ended up working in not-his-field for almost a year before he found this job. He's been here for almost four years and while he isn't always happy, he does enjoy the challenges and has a good time with it.
He is, however, much like Rob. If I push him, he shuts down and can't do anything. It was a really, really rough situation both times and I don't envy you having to do it again.
