In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane suggests a reader may want to rethink her relationship in light of her boyfriend's selfish behaviors.
Annie Lane wonders if complacency plays a role in a reader's relationship with her boyfriend in today's Dear Annie column.Dear Annie: I’ve been with a guy for over four years now. Things were great in the beginning, but now I feel we’re together for convenience.
I started working nights again almost a month ago, which I will remain on until the midnight girl comes back. The problem is he doesn’t understand that working nights is taking a toll on me. I’m always tired. When I get home at 6:15 a.m., I want to go to bed so I can be awake in the afternoon to be with my children. I understand that I’m not giving him much attention, but I feel he also needs to respect the fact that I’m exhausted, physically and mentally.
He makes me feel guilty for sleeping. He’ll wake me up to spend time with him, which I don’t appreciate at all. Again, I feel like it’s convenient being together and I don’t know if I want to be with him anymore. He stresses me out a lot and blames me for a lot of things. No matter what, my children come first. I’m always with them and he isn’t. I know they’ll appreciate the time I spend with them. I’m confused and don’t know what to do.
With your work hours currently in flux -- and who knows for how much longer -- it’s critical to communicate and make sure you and your boyfriend can get on the same page. If he can pitch in around the house and with the kids during your workweek, it might make spending the uninterrupted quality time together that he’s looking for more feasible. Ultimately, if you can’t depend on him to have your back when you need it most, you’re better off finding someone else who can.
