Q: I Don't Want to Be Mad Bc Its Nobodies Fault

Hi. I'm new here so i'll just quickly tell you whats going on. I'm 18, my bf is 24. I have been dating him for 2yrs. Last year he got a new job, doing shift work. He alternates between days and nights and works 12hr shifts.
I just started university this year, i'm not living far from him, about the same distance as when I was at home. Lately i've been getting really annoyed with him and his work. I don't want to because he has a great job and makes really good money because of the shift premiums and nights/weekend/holiday premiums. He just bought a farm, so he's paying for his morgage and stuff too. He gets lots of holidays, but he saves them for when he goes away to cattle sales. It just feels like i'm always playing second fiddle to his work. He's always so tired and when I do see him he's so tired! I don't really know if theres a question in here....But if there is I guess it would be should I tell him that I feel like this? Like I don't get the attention I deserve? I love him to death and his job is great, but its just like we're missing something because he works christmas, xmas eve, new years, his birthday, my birthday, our anniversary..Its just not the same celebrating the say after/before...I don't know...I just wanted to vent...Now I feel better =)


i know that this post probably makes nooo sense...But =d

I know what you're going through - sort of. My boyfriend works a lot, but the problem is he isn't making much money, so the time we get to spend together is at home and we don't go hardly anywhere. He's going to start attending a new college that is even farther from me than he is from me now. All I keep telling myself is that if he really loves me as much as he says he does, than he won't let anything come between us. My boyfriend and I were the same ages you two are, i'm now 19, and he's 25...But we started dating when I was 18 and he was 24.

I Feel For You
Hunny I know where your coming from. I dont have exactly the same problem but my fiance is addicted to computers I mean addicted so much that if we go out to a bar its a computer/videogaming bar. All he does is work on computers all day, all night. I love him more then anything but damn how can you not get tired of that?!?! Lol but yes I just lay down the law and say hunny I love you soo much and I want to spend time with you on our anniversary. Not before not after. If im important to you then you'll make time. Dont get me wrong im sure the new job is great and im sure he's working so hard for a very very good reason (maybe a ring you never know?) so dont be hard on him just let him know that he is loved. And that you need to feel loved too. Just explain that you know hes trying really hard but you cants see the balance between work and together time. He'll get it. If not just give him a taste of his own. Once you start being to busy for him... He'll make time for you it might take a few weeks for him to figure out but he will. Best of luck hun.
