because of our different work schedules, we never see each other, except weekends (we live 2gether).  what can we do to have that connection during the week without that???

My boyfriend and i have gone more than a week without sex and we have tight scehuales as well but we usually talk on the phone maybe you could do that on your breaks but if you too really wanted to have sex then you would find the time say in the morning but when you go a while without it its absolutley amazing when you have it well atleast in my opinion

I have felt like this so many times!  It sounds like you guys are spending too much time together. Maybe spending less time together would help.  So when you are apart you miss him and then it seems like a treat to get to see him.  Then when you finally get to see him it will be exciting.  If this feeling continues maybe you should think about the fact that maybe you really don't miss him, you just miss having someone around.

No, quitting your job, neither addresses the problem nor allows you to deal with the situation if it occurs again. Obviously something has happened. The hard part is deciding on the action steps to explore the situation and reach an resolution. First, I would suggest the direct approach and reach out to the co-worker. A sample conversation would be" Hey I just wanted to tell you how much I miss our weekly meetings. They really helped me plan and prepare for the week. I am disappointed that we have not been able to meet and communicate as regularly as we once did. I am concerned about the reason for the sudden lack of communication between us. " The important part is to seem sincere and non-confrontational. Your co-worker might be going through issues besides you. You simply want to facilitate communication between you and them and express how beneficial you have found your time together. I would suggest reading Harvard business review that addresses many real life situations like this.

NOpe. I don't think that could be an issue. Since you both also have separate personal lives. One thing I could advice though is to keep an open communication. Even if you don't see each other everyday, a call on the phone, a text message, a special delivery, an email could perk up the relationship. You could also think of other ways to keep it spicy. Sometimes being with each other every single day gets kinda boring and infact this will have a deeper negative impact in your relationship rather than giving each other enough personal space with the 3 days a week dates. :-) Hoep everything works well with you and your boyfriend. If you not having a car of your own repells him from you, then that means you don't deserve him. You are far more valuable than a car. If he loves you and you love him, you both will always find a way to see or even just communicate with each otehr everyday. Distance could also make you miss the person, and missing the person makes the times when your together sweeter coz you'll both cherish every moment. :_)

If he'll be living close by, I'd suggest setting up a time once a week or something for you guys to spend time together, and don't let ANYTHING get in the way of it. Phone calls work too, but nothing beats actual physically being together.

you are getting to know the real him.. sound like he works alot and might be stressing so that's normal .. you need mo make time for each other no work or friends just the 2 of you. you will see we will start to want up to you the way you want him to. but it take hrs to get your head out of your work obligations and some times weeks were it just one big long day..

Oh, I know the Sunday Blues... And I have recently found the remedy: I try to organize meet-ups and dinner invitations for Monday and Tuesday nights now. That way I look forward to the new week, sometimes I can't wait for Sunday to pass because I want to meet my friends asap. \n\nOk, yes, I am only fooling myself, but then again, if that doesn't work for you, you might want to take a look at the reasons why you don't like your work and change employment?

Ah you are in a tough spot there; you know I can kind of relate to you my boyfriend works everyday of the week even weekends. I feel as if his job is more important than me. We argue about it all the time and his job seems more important anyways. I get bored because hes always tired and doesnt want to do anything. Hes always seems to tell me oh "when I get a day off we can do something" he never gets a day off though.\n\nYou are going to have to set your foot down here and do things to make it interesting...\n\nfor example, make a romantic dinner for the two of you when he comes home from work when job comes up change the conversation. \n\nif little things like that don't work then you are going to sit down with him and tell him I know your career is important but so am I and I feel bored when you jujst want to sit and watch tv you should make some time for me too, I want to go out do things with you.\n\nI really wish you luck and good luck on your masters

It is difficult to have a distance rlnship but you don't need to pressure him.try to have more phone conversations. avoid chat rooms and text messages. please also try video chat if you can. that is what my distance rln-ship tought me. at certain poit these txt messages become senseless, keep in mind the time difference. when you are feeling romantic at night he is in the middle of his job. you see what I mean...

If he misses your birthday, I'm sure there will be other disappointments as well.  Hang out with your friends, and have a good time.  \n\nI guess it depends on why he works so much.  Is he doing it so he can support the 2 of you?  Does he use work as an escape?  Does he just really love his job?  Is this a requirement of the job?\n\nHave a talk with him, and say you would like to spend more time with him.  You are having doubts because he is not reassuring you that you are important with his time.

Pay attention to him when he's around.You say he's traveling because of work,so he's working to help support you right?Well when he's home,put friends on hold and some things you want to do,put on hold until he goes out of town again.That will give you plenty of ME time when he's gone. Make him feel like you want him around,ask about his plans for that day.Maybe he wants to spend time with you,maybe alone,you never know until you ask,but he most likely wants time with you since he's not around much. I'm sure he missed you. he might want to visit some of his friends or relatives while he's home too,just ask what his plans might be for the day. If he visits his friends then you can maybe visit yours or do something on your own. You can work things out with a traveling partner,it just takes some adjustment.You have spent alot of time alone and have got into suiting yourself alot.It does take time to readjust to someone else being around. Just try to communicate as much as possible.Even your eating habits might have changed since he's been gone so you have to figure,what time is lunch and will we be eating together?Just be available as much as you can so you both can decide on your days activities together.

If you can stop at work and get a little talk just to see whats up, with out causing trouble with his employer, if not just send a text message to him saying your thinking about him and missing him. Or you can sit and wait. If he is that much on the fence on which way to go then let it push him one way or the other. It will be for the best what ever way it goes. It just the enviable.

My husband & I lived apart for a while and may have to do so again soon.  \n\nWe tried the following:\nPhone calls\nEmails\nDedicating a song at a local radio station to the other\nSending "local" things to each other\nVisiting as often as possible\nSnail mail with cologne and perfume on it to remind each other\nMaking each other CD's to listen to\n\nWe always knew where the other was (but went out with friends, etc- jealousy was not an issue), and kept up on the "little details" that you miss so much of when you're away.  We even had Thanksgiving dinner (made the same homestyle box meal w/ turkey in it at the same time) over the phone. We would rent the same movies, watch them the same night, then talk about it after. \n\nGood luck, and hang in there if he's worth it.

Perhaps if you start spending less time together, like seeing each other only on Friday's.  That should help you/her miss each other and will re-spark that "first love."  This wouldn't be breaking up.... when you do get together.... go out on a real romantic date.  Do this until you two are crazier about each other again!  Re-fall in love.  If it don't work, perhaps it's a sign.  \n\nI also checked out your "Vicenza" question... I lived there.  I loved it and I miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nI lived in a little city in Vicenza called:  Torri di Quartesolo.  \n\nGo! Enjoy! Live! You'll never regret it!

I've done the long distance thing..  You two are doing everything right in my book anyways.. lol.  My advise is to stay busy with friends.  That way the time will go by faster.

i definately think you guys should take some time apart try and start over again like you didnt even know each other dont think that just because you guys are not together means that you are going to loose you closeness from what it sounds like you will loose it the longer you are together i say take a break still see each other and get to know each other but dont live right on top of each other trust me it will not help the situation at all.

do you two like any of the same activities? if so then do that together, do something to have fun so you will both be relaxed and not so focused on forcing the other to talk
