    Hi 🙂

    I have been with my boyfriend for nearing two years now. Those two years have been really great for me. We have been really good together, and I can say I love him more than anything. The problem is, recently we have hit a bit of a bump 🙁 .

    We moved in together three months ago, but now we barley see anything of each other. I work from 2pm-3am and he works 8am-5pm. The only time I ever see him anymore is in the early morning, and that leaves almost nothing for the relationship, although we do try. Every night I come home, I find dinner waiting in the oven, and sometimes my boyfriend, who feel asleep waiting for me to get home. Sometimes he will wait up and when I get home we will go out together, although we are always tired so that dampens the whole thing. Whenever I wake up (Usually about 11am) he is already off at work. We would look for new jobs, but we can’t find any, and we barley get by as it is (and when I say barely I mean by the skin of our teeth). I really feel that our relationship is dying, and that if we don’t do something soon it won’t last much longer 😥.

    Do you think there is anything we can really do, in order to bring a little life into the relationship? Keep it alive?

    Thanks!

    It sounds like this is more of a math problem than anything else. You have certain hours you need to work; you have to sleep a certain number of hours; and that leaves xx hours in the day. Then (here’s where the advanced math comes in….) you have to overlap his free hours, after doing the same equation for his life, and make them count. I think you both probably have weekends off — so that’s the best time for you to rekindle your relationship. You’re going to have to really get creative and make romance and that sexual spark count, but if you’re focused and committed, and appreciate the fact that you both have work (in this economy!) and you have each other — you may be able to pepper your time together with appreciation for what you have and make your glass half full — instead of empty. 😉 I hope this works — please let me know how this goes.
