Married one. It isn't ideal but you get used to it. He makes as good living and has a lot Of positives.
It's gotten better as he has reached the top of his field, switched jobs to one that allows more of a work life balance. But even over this weekend, he spent most of it working in his home office.
It's ok, I'm busy with the kids and I don't mind having time alone when he has to work or travels for work.
I guess it depends on how bad it is...but a strong work ethic (and working long hours) isn't really a terrible thing in a mate.
Being a workaholic is a vice, but our society doesn't recognize it as such, it's the one vice that is actually somewhat approved of or at least not demonized.
LOL, the older I get it's getting harder just to put in an 8 hour work day, let alone spending most of the weekend in the home office, screw that mess.
He was the supervisor for a banquet hall, working 50 - 60 hours a week, while attending school full-time. Sometimes, the only other time we'd see each other is when he'd come over to crash in my bed. I didn't mind it. Sometimes our "quality time" was basically me being on the computer while he's in deep sleep in his bed. I also didn't mind that. It was our incompatibility on how we view a relationship was what broke us. Basically, how he interacted with the opposite sex, either when we are not together or in my face.
I personally don't mind being put 2nd on the priority list, depending on the severity of the situation. If I am hospitalized and he puts work before me, then I'd have a problem with that. If I'm just having a bad day and he puts his work before me, I'll be sad over it, but I wouldn't leave him for it. I was fine with dating a workaholic because I am a busy person myself. I would expect my man to understand that sometimes, he will come second.
Nope, I've been out with nurses, paramedics etc. And they work 12 hour shifts plus overtime it's no good for myself as I enjoy the better things in life and it's a bit hard to share them if they are either too busy or tired.
I respect anyone that works hard and I've done them hours myself but in a relationship it's very hard to make it work
I could accept a person with a demanding job or career focused.
What I cannot accept is taking second chair to the job.
