so me and my boyfriend have been together for almost 2 months which isn't that long at all...but i'm getting to the point where i don't really have time for a relationship...i'm working almost 48 hours a week plus trying to go back to school...but i don't want to hurt him...it's not that i don't want to be with him but i'm just sick of the fighting with him because i'm trying to do something with my life...it's as though it's ok for him to work and all that but when it comes down to me trying to, he gets angry...i don't know what to do or really what to say...any advice???

Well, man.. 48 hours a week plus school... yeah, I can see why you wouldn't have time for eachother... well, maybe you could set a time aside every week where you guys could get together. Talk to him about it. You guys can't just go with the flow anymore, and it seems to be tearing you gusy up... maybe you guys should start planning things.

^ The planning things is a good idea. Unless he makes enough money to shower you with gifts every day, then I don't see why he's complaining that you're working. Try to talk to him and tell him how you feel. If he doesn't want to comply, well, since you've only been going out for about two months, perhaps it's time you two go your separate ways?

You guys need to sit down and have a talk. Communication is the key.

^ if he gets angry when you guys talk, he's probably not the guy.

It might be a good idea to take a break until things get less hectic.
Or just break up, period. If he doesn't respect that you're a busy girl, well, that's his problem.
Take care!

Well, I presonally think that he may be upset because you guys aren't able to hang out whenever you want the way you used to. I really believe that you need to start planning things.
Well, I see three things you can do here.
-Talk with him about it, and start planning a time when you guys can spend time together
-Take a break from your relationship until you are less busy.
-Break-up with him, and don't start another relationship until you have more freedom.

the difficulty with planning things is my work schedule changes all the time..i can work anytime between 10am and midnight...his work schedule stays the same...5pm to 5am...so by the time he has time to do anything, i'm either at work or school so there is no time to make time to be together...our phone conversations last 10 minutes tops so yea...that's what makes it so difficult

cmon, Im sure your boss will understand if you take one day off every week or decided that you can't work at a specific time one day out of the week... you can do it... you just have to work at it. even if your relationship doesn't work at least you will have more consistancy in your work schedule. More consistancy = less stress.

yea i work about the same amount of time and i still try to juggle a boyfriend with stuff. but talk to him about it. let him know you are intrested in making something of yourself. he just may be jealous because all your attention is being diverted..

UGH he seems like he does not want you to work buts its okay if he works. gurl i would have a talk with him about it because you have YOUR future to consider its not wat he wants all the time its wat you want I HATE IT when guys have to say "oo yea you dont spend time with me if i work its enough for the both of us" hell no i support that you should go to work and skool so you can be independent on yourself and you dont have to rely on no man.
althought 48 hours is alot to balance skool and your boyfriend at the same time so i think you should talk to your boss about a part time.

Make a schedule and try getting some time together to spend with him if you really want the relationship to work. If not then I suppose you need to just talk to him and tell him how it is, and that you really want to do something with you life and you don't have time to be in a relationship at the moment.

i understand. me and my bf have been in the same situation before, but we never fight about it. btu he should understand that you want to do soemthing with you life. maybe you can have a day with him, when you have a day off. thats what usually me and my bf do now. cuz im in school and work all week and so is he. our off days are saturday and sunday. so if we can spend time on those days, we will make plans. :)

if there are problems right now, there'll always be problems, unless you change your perspective on what you want to do with your life, or he changes his perspective on how much time he feels the need to spend with you. i say break it off, because otherwise it'll just get worse.
