Mina and I have been in a relationship for a long time now, it’s about 4 years and we’re currently living together in the apartment I’m renting. We both have jobs and I know we’re both tired whenever we come home. Sometimes when we argue, she tells me that she needs emotional availability from me because she doesn’t feel loved or important to me. I’m just busy with work and the reason I work so hard is also for our future together. If we ever have children, I want to make sure I already have savings for them. I don’t really understand what she means whenever she brings that up. So now my question is, what does emotional availability mean in a relationship?

You need to give her time, affection, effort, and love so she can feel that she is important and valued.

Maybe what she means is that you’ve started to lose time for her—that it feels like you’re just living together in the same house, but the sweetness and emotional connection between you two is no longer there.

Your intention of working hard for your future is good, but it’s also important not to lose the care, sweetness, love, and emotional connection between you both. Because what’s the point of building a future if, in the process of focusing too much on work, you lose the love for each other and end up breaking up anyway?

What he means is that you two have “babe time” together. Your intention is good since you’re both working, but maybe you’re overdoing it and starting to forget each other. The most important thing for a relationship to last is not losing connection with one another.
