With his always working , i know he wants to get ahead for the future but at what cost? I know he loves me - but just cant find a happy medium between work and play. How can i show him that giving up on our relationship is the wrong thing to do and what are the benefits of staying together? I know he doesn't want to give up but he also knows at our age i deserve more and could deff not be in a relationship that is so diffucult. Maybe i need a break to let us both step back and see what we will be missing out on and gaining... im just not ready to lose him. please help.

I think you need to tell him that you are going to leave if he doesn't cut down his hours.
If that doesn't work then perhaps a break would be a good idea. See how he feels doing all that work and not having a girlfriend to come home to.
Find out why he feels like he has to do it all so quickly and work so hard.
Good Luck!! xx
