Workaholic Partner

[ennaem]

Hi, I admit from the start I knew already that he is a workaholic but I still gave in and got into a relationship with him. I am adjusting as I want to work things out. Yes, he gives time inspite of his busy schedule but it is not enough.

Has anyone been in this situation and how did you handle it?

My ex bf at naging hubby was alsoi a workaholic. That's why I got free time din on my hands and focus on what I do also. We schedule once a week dates para at least we keep in touch.

Kaso the relationship fell apart when we were married at nagka mistress sya. He was irritable at laging busy. The problem is di ko alam kung talagang busy sya or dahil gahol sya lagi sa oras dahil hati time nya.
Siguro point ko lang is - knowing how men there in Pinas are prone to infidelity, sa experience ko, hirap masabi kung busy or babae ang kinab-busyhan nya.

Pero sayo, I think yung important thing is pag magkasama kayo, sayo talaga attention nya at hindi yung nag t trabaho pa sya or accepting calls, answering emails etc. You have to have a healthy communication at conscious effort on both sides not to take each other for granted - lalo na kung busy mga scheds nyo.

My ex partner sobrang workaholic nya. To the point na sa office na sya natutulog. Hindi ako masaya, pero more than that naawa ako sa kanya. Recently lang nakapag usap kami and ganun pa din sya and he was complaining about not having a life anymore. Sabi ko sa kanya paano sya magkakabuhay kung puro work lang naman sya.

Okay lang maging workaholic, pero diba nga, love is making time when there is none. No one is ever too busy -- nasa pagprioritize lang yan ng mga bagay bagay.

Ang sipag naman, nakakatuwa at the same time nakakainis kasi namimiss mo sya.

He said, he is working hard now because he will retire 5 yrs from now. Well, just being hopeful that he will improve. The thing is, he's a lovable person and I get to enjoy my time with him. Oh well, tingnan natin where this leads us.
