Rhienne Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hi, I've been going out with my boyfriend for 6 months. We're both at university, and about 200 miles apart. Due to a very fortunate lecture schedule I've been able to visit him most weekends in term. I do this because we can't see each other at all in the holidays because our homes are in different countries about 650 miles apart, which is a bit less manageable! Recently he's been forced to get a job at weekends. He still wants me to go and visit him, but I don't think we'll be able to spend any real time with each other as he'll be working both days. It's also very expensive for me to visit him at weekends, and if the only time I'm spending with him is when we're asleep it seems like a lot more money... Does this seem like a situation where a relationship would work? I'd really like it to, but I don't know if its plausible if there isn't really any time that we can spend together. Thank you for your help! Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for your help! Could you go to work with him? Sounds crazy, but if you visited every other weekend, arrived, say Friday (although idk if that's possible or not), went out to dinner, went to work with him Saturday, and Sunday, then went home Monday morning. Could you at least meet for lunch while your there on the weekends, go out to dinner after work? I would still visit, take the time to prepare super special stuff for him, waiting when he arrives home from work, romantic type stuff, stuff that he wouldn't ever forget! Maybe with the work schedule, you could visit slightly less, but save money? Plan a trip together over a vacation, and go somewhere for a long weekend? That's what I'd do, I wouldn't break the relationship because he works weekends;) Link to post Share on other sites
