If you are not able to spend a lot of quality time together because of work...?

Not necessarily sex but if both are working then also the stable environment that is being created is also part of what is keeping things together.  although having quality sex certainly helps keep some security in it all.\nOtherwise it's just two roomates who share bills and that's just not as much fun as far as i'm concerned.

Work relationships are bad news.\n\nFocus on someone that is not in your business world.

NO way. I would include my boyfriend and tell him what is going on to stress me out. If the relationship is a strong one then you should be able to lean on each other in the rough times. If the person is saying they want to leave someone because they are stressed at work I think that there is more going on, and they really aren't committed to the relationship if something as trivial as work is going to stress you out enough to leave. Maybe your better off, I mean would you want this person around if there was a tragedy or a sickness to deal with. Doesn't sound like a very strong person, and doesn't sound like someone that truly cares about you.

Sure there is no time to communicate?? I work overnights, I've been there. In my past relationship, we used to communicate during dinnertime, and the time remaining before I went to work. Also had some time to do so after I came home, and before she went to work. It is trying, but it is possible. Also, take advantage of his night's off. If you can get him to "reverse" his schedule on his night's off, that'll help out too. Good luck!!

Is it an option for him to get a different job? If so, does he want to, or does he like what he's doing?\n\nIf he's happy with his job, it's not fair to ask him to change it. Instead, find ways to make the most of your time together. Meanwhile, find something to keep yourself busy while he's at work. Get a job yourself, get a hobby, or be a volunteer somewhere.\n\nDr. Barb Nefer, http://www.bnlifeskills.com

I would say they dont usually because of work.  However, you could be that way anyway even in a relationship and that wouldnt be a bad thing.  I know for me personally, im a very hard worker but if i had someone in my life, that would be my first conceern, so it is possible to be a hard worker and a good companion.

When you're more happy spending time away from the person in your life than you are spending time with them. But remember a relationship takes work from both parties and isn't always going to be a bed of roses. Make sure that it's something that can't be fixed and not just a bump in the road.

I think that you should spend good quality time together as often as you like, as long as your not getting on each others nerves. When dating first starts it all about getting to know each others likes and dislikes. If your really into each  other then I see know reason not to spend as much time as possible together, that way you can really see what a full time relationship would be like and if the both of you can handle it.

Send emails,call..appreciate the times when you are together.The absence makes the time together that much more special.You need both..there is a dichotomy in everything.A high and a low..an opposite,that is necessary for the Universe to function.So for you to be together,there must be time apart... simple.It may not be an equal time,but it is there.

My boss is a workaholic- he works on me day and night. We enjoy our sex and there are no strings attatched. It's thrilling especially when we know that there are risks of getting caught, trust me with all that adrenaline pumping, it's a climax every time It has'nt affected our work output  if anything, we work better because we know of the rewards thereafter!! Enjoy yourself.

It sounds like your relationship is really not much of a relationship since you get to spend very little time together.  Unfortunately he is working towards a profession where this schedule problem will probably be an issue for a long time to come.  If you can't deal with it then it is time to get out and move on.

Your company might not be happy flings withing the same department or workspace, to avoid distractions. (Just like they'd look down at playing bridge on company time)\n\nYou might also want to consider your life after&if you break up, both in terms of bumping into each other in the cafeteria, and feeding the rumor mill.\n\nAside from that, feel free to have fun.

work relationships are complicated, they can distract you. if it all goes wrong theres always a pretty high chance you'll end up office gossip. plus alot of companies frown on it so if u do go there, keep it quiet.x

Sometimes its not a good idea to get into a work relationship because if it ends in a bad break up then you still have to face each other every day.  But if you two are both mature then I think it would be okay.

being at work doesn't mean he's really working on your relationship with you.\n\nIf he doesn't take time for you now, he won't later.  Drop him and let him come to you if that's what he really wants.  It sounds like he's looking for an excuse to leave the relationship.\n\nWhy waste your life while he tries to decide if he wants to spend time with you or not?

Yes actually. I keep trying to get my husband to go and work out of town and just come home on the weekends or every other weekend. We fight too much and maybe if we didnt have to see each other everyday we might look forward to spending time together!
