Need more time with my love
| Wed, 09-01-2004 - 12:21am |
Hi, I have been dating the best man ever for the past three months and we are totally and completely in love with each other. There is just one thing, we seem to both have very busy schedules. I work retail and work weekends although I do get a Sunday and a Saturday off now for each month. He works sometimes 11 hour shifts and sometimes on Saturdays with his job. There also is the factor that he has other friends to spend time with and I have other friends that I like to spend time with. I usually let him call me and we typically talk on the phone about once a week, although I call every now and then too. I know that the reasons are totally understandable and honest. We have established good trust with each other. His friends and family know me and my friends and family know him. I know that we will work this all out because we truly love each other. I guess what I am asking is have you ever known of other couples in this situation who have gotten through this kind of difficult time, and what has there experience been like with this? I know that there is really no recipe for love and it really is different for everybody and I know in my heart that our love can get through this. It is just kind of hard because I really miss him sometimes and I know he does too. I mean, my thoughts are that a relationship is like a garden and if the garden is not tended to, the plants will die, which would be a devestating thing to happen. I would appreciate any advice on all of this, or if you have further questions, please ask.

My bf of 6 mos and I didn't get to spend much time together at the beginning our relationship either because when we meet I work 9 - 5 every day and he was working 3 pm to 11 pm on weekdays and 7 am to 3 pm on Sats. But he works different shifts now and we get to spend everyday together and we are going to move in together soon. I know it is hard but there is the old saying "Absense makes the heart grow founder". If you two truly love and care for each other you will find time to spend together and a way to make the relationship last. Good luck
