I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years, and he's always worked a lot (6 days/9hrs) but he recently opened a new small business with a friend and now works 6-7 days/12 hours a day.
He doesn't know when he'll get a day off/which day it'll be and he's always on call if they need him.
I've always been an understanding girlfriend, I know he needs to work, I know he likes to see his friends after work sometimes and since I work less hours I always clean the house/do the laundry etc (we live together).
But I'm starting to think I'm being a push-over. I usually call him, but if don't, he'll maybe text me once or a 2 minute call a day. I know he misses me/loves me though.
I've even hung out at his workplace, just sitting with him for 10 hours just to see him. I know for a FACT he wouldn't do this for me.
He never gets up early to spend the morning with me, as he doesn't sleep until 3am (finishes work 11.30pm) However, I frequently stay up until 2am to see him.
I feel like he makes no effort. I've talked to him about this a lot, he just tells me to stop nagging, and sometimes begrudging does as I ask if I get upset. But I always feel guilty as he works constantly and I don't like seeing him so tired.
I just hate to be a clingy, needy girlfriend. I don't want to stand in the way of his ambitions, but at the same time I don't want to be taken advantage of. Am I being fair?
Put the internet to work for you.
