The guy I'm dating works day and night so I only see him once a week, sometimes twice. My ex worked about the same amount but his effort to make time for me got less and less so that contributed to our breaking up. I think as long as they make an effort, seeing them less isn't too much of an issue especially if it's not going to stay that way forever. People manage to be in LDR where they don't even see the person for months at a time and somehow they manage so it isn't any worse than that because at least you can still see each other

thank you for the replies, ive always been a full time worker and full student and managed to make relationships work...new guy is telling me hes a bit on the needy side so my guards are up about continuing...

but the end result is a better career and more time and money to share so i would think patience pays off in the end, no?


oh so ur the one who does everything full plate? ;p

have him work next to u and you can have lots of talks and tasks together...sharing.. work

and have him study same stuff as u ;p

and u have a man there all the time.

Quality time is literally everything.

So when you are together put down the phone and give him your attention. Make it count.

Plenty of couples live together but also don’t connect and just pass each other like ghosts in the night, driffting apart.

Dude, if someone likes you, they MAKE TIME FOR YOU.

If anyone feeds you that bullshit line, you ought to feed them their fucking tongue.


For real tho.

What do people think happens as time goes on? Life doesn't get LESS busy...it gets much much more busy.

Work plus relationship plus kids plus hobbies plus caring for your elderly parents plus starting a business plus dealing with health issues plus caring for gran kids plus plus PLUS.
