Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I accepted a job but don't start for another couple of weeks. It's overseas and there's more paperwork, so they have been patient on their end.

I had applied to many places when I first started looking, but one of them that I'm really interested in had only recently contacted me. Without having worked at either, I could envision myself being happier in this position. Well I interviewed, and it went really well. They have asked to speak to my references.

The problem is, 2 of my references know I've accepted the former job, and are making me feel bad/guilting me about what I'm doing. I'm hurt and angered they would make me feel this way, but does this really make me an asshole?
