pinkdarling Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 So I have been in this relationship for five months and I am very happy with him - we seem to mesh very well and there's all that sappy, love, sparky feelings when we're together. The only problem I am having is that he's a workaholic. He's a successful investment banker and with that goes a lot of time in the office - late nights and weekends and all that jazz. It was easier at the start of our relationship to just give him space, and he was 100% forthright about his time commitment to work from the start, but as time goes on and feelings grow, it gets harder. I mean I get 75% of his free time but there's just so little of it to go around. So my question is how do I continue to be supportive of his time commitment to work without seeming needy or clingy? What are some things to do for him during the work week that let him know that I am thinking about him without making him feel guilty? Are there times when it's acceptable to expect that us and our relationship come before his job? And if so how do I let him know that without seeming like I am infringing on his career?
Moose Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 If he came right out to let you know that he puts in a lot of hours, you simply don't have any pull to complain about your time with him. If you're getting 75% of his free time, where's his, "ME", time? I realize you want to spend more time with your new love, but slow down a bit and don't burn out so fast. Put notes in his briefcase telling him you're thinking about him. Maybe a couple of times a week, put one in his car, or breifcase saying that you have a surprise for him when he gets home.....then be ready to let him have his way with you when he gets there.
