pandagirl Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I've been averaging visits with the bf about every 5-6 weeks, which was working out fine, but this time it's going to be two months! Those who have read my older threads know that we fight about scheduling trips, but he has gotten better about it since our talks. We talked about it last night and he said that he is on consecutive deadlines until the end of July, meaning he's working 65-70 hour weeks. He said that he doesn't want me to come until his last deadline is over, because he wouldn't be able to spend time with me, he would be tired, and also, yes, I would probably get restless/annoyed/bored if I just had to watch him work. After our last fight over scheduling, this was the resolution: he promised to plan trips with me earlier, and I would be try to be more understanding of this work demands. So, this is the result of our compromise. Damn his job!
Spiritofnow Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 Double damn it!!!! Damn! Damn! And, damn again. Are you smiling yet or have I pushed you over the edge? : )
Author pandagirl Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 haha. Yes, it is good that he has a job, and I totally support him in his career... I just it wasn't so hard! 65-70 hours includes weekends, so I guess spread out it isn't so bad, except for working on Sat and Sun.

Diezel Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 And if he were unemployed: Damn his broke ass. Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
Kamille Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 Ah that really sucks Panda. I really have no words of advice except: get busy with your own life. It's summer! Go visit friends and family and keep busy. I'm usually not one to recommend head games, but I'm thinking that if you handle this gracefully and keep an active happy life on your side, he'll appreciate you even more... And possibly realize that he's missing out. Workaholics. Sigh.
JacquesA.LeFrancais Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 My S/O and are back to our 4-6 week rotation after 7 months apart, this is our second visit back on rotation...it was not easy at all 12 days and counting...lol Work, and especially $$ got in the way. Fortunately we are relatively back on track. Thank god!
aerogurl87 Posted July 2, 2010 Posted July 2, 2010 what is he doing working on the BP oil spill?? LMAO. You're too funny sometimes. But pandagirl, 65-70 hours a week is crazy. My boyfriend will soon be working crazy hours though, so I'll probably be complaining about it too soon.
