So my boyfriend has been overworked a lot lately. He works 14-day weeks. The one day he has off, he uses to catch up on sleep.

I haven't seen him in person in... (checks calendar), 22 days.

3 long weeks. Calls and texts just aren't doing it any more. I miss seeing him.

We're going to a wedding next weekend, but I just want to be alone with him.




Would it be selfish of me to ask him to go out on his day off?

Personally I think it's selfish of him to think he can have a relationship with the demands of his job. rolleyes
Did you mean 14 hours a day?
My friend's kids' dad works like 12 hours a day and gets Tuesday and Thursdays off. He's tired too, but he can't neglect his kids. Same should go for you. He shouldn't be neglecting you.
I don't think it's selfish, but if you want him to hear you, don't demand him to see you. Tell him how you feel and if he doesn't change something, then tell him to hit the road... Srsly, you deserve better than he can give.

Well his schedule wasn't always like this. It's only recently that he's had to work so much due to two people quitting without notice.

He doesn't neglect me. He still calls when we gets off work.

I still see him. I just hate waiting two weeks before he gets a day off. And on his day off he has house work and errands to run. So I feel bad for wanting to go out. Even when he insist.

A few days ago we went to my friend's wedding and he just looked so drained.

Life still happens, regardless of how much you work. Errands and housework should be done here and there, once he gets off work. His days off, should be spent with you.

How have things worked out since this post that was over a year ago?
