rosevine is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI thank all for their help in this matter. I failed in myself in explaining the "carer" meaning looking after someone is has a severe disability. I can not work because of this. I can take on some of the advice given about making time for each other but the problem still remains. Thank you.

Hi hun
Boy can I relate. Having a full time and challenging career can make a difference to your relationship. I think if you have the right guy he will like and respect you you all the more for your independence. If you have a guy who is willing to pitch in a bit with the housework and cooking that is only reasonable if you are out there working hard. Do not make your career your whole focus....your personal relationships are just as important.Make a pact to leave the office at the same time every day...I am not a believer in working late. When you are at the office..you are at the office but when you come home to your boyfriend focus on him and focus on your friends when you are with them. I think sixty percent of women work these days so there are alot of us dealing with this.

Like you schedule in your meetings and work and eating and laundry, scheduling in your relationship can be a good way to make sure you set aside time. You sound like you're a busy woman, and good for you for keeping your career!
If you both agree on a few times that you can reserve for each other, it will make your time together a priority.
Good luck, sweetness!

Would you consider changing the amount of hours you work so you could have more time together?
If not then you need to make sure the time you do spend together is quality time.
Take care.xx.

Try to make time for each other. Like having dinner together... or sitting and watching a movie together.
Sit down and chat with your guy about how you feel and see if you can both reach out to each other and pull yourselves back together.
