A female Ireland age 36-40, *airygurl writes:

Hi everyone, i have been goin out with my boyfriend for 12months. I have known him very well since school so 9 years...Finally we got togther after months of him chasing me cause i had a bf for 4years. He promised he would treat me better than my current ex and would definitely spend more time with me seeming as my boyfriend at the time worked an awful lot and the relationship had more or less faded. So i broke up with him and few months passed and got with my bofriend now. everything was great for first 6months after that the time he was spending with me got less and less. He plays football for his county so he trains 3times a week and has a match most sundays. He also works for his dad. His dad rings and asks him to work sometimes but other than that he just works anyway which i dont understand cause he doesnt have to. He works 7 in mornin till 12 then 3 till maybe 11 at night!!!!!! I see him maybe once a week and go cinema but other than that he just constantly has somethin more important to do. Should i just dump him! Im so mad at this stage, i feel single so i may aswell be!! Any advice?

I'd give him a final warning first.

Tell him you can't cope and are going to split up with him unless he starts working normal hours.

Tell him to be home so you have evenings together. His football is important (and keeps him fit and sexy) so I wouldn't tell him to cut back on that. But there is no need for him to work so many hours for his dad.

Sit him down and work out when you want him to be home by and what you can do when you get time together. Do you go to his matches on weekends? You could go and then help him celebrate afterwards.

If nothing changes then yes, dump him and move on but give the guy a chance to change first.

Good Luck!! xx
