My husband continued to challenge me, saying that I am too soft on forgiving, and that I will likely stay in my job for a lifetime, even when my boss is mean to me, which he sometimes is.
Your partner is confusing forgiveness with reconciliation. You need to point out the difference between the two. Forgiving is a moral virtue in which you willingly decide to have mercy on the one who behaved unjustly. Reconciliation is not a moral virtue, but instead is a negotiation strategy between two or more people coming together in mutual trust. Therefore, you can forgive and find a new job if your boss continues to be unreasonable in your judgement.
