Can a workaholic ever focus on their partner?

I’ve been with my current boyfriend for almost four years, however, I’m starting to get really fed up with his work habits. He works a reg. 9-5, 5 days a week and runs his own business which takes up most of his nights. The time that we do spend together, he’s too tired to do anything at all (especially being intimate). He doesn’t really enjoy anything as much as he does working. He loves his job, which I admire, yet I feel like he doesn’t even find me attractive and that I don’t matter at all. Please help! I love him to death yet I feel like we’re growing apart.

    They can focus on their partners, but they have to make the conscious choice to do so…. You can only do so much. Good Luck.

    You need to sit down with him and talk to him. Tell him how you feel. He needs to know that you feel neglected but that you admire his good work ethic. Just be honest with him.

    you say that you love him, then i suggest that you talk to him and find out from him how you can be more involved in what he’s doing and try to get him to do someting that you like
