What is the one problem in your life at the moment that is bothering you the most, it could be a huge problem like loosing your house or it could be a small problem that bugs you like not being able to get your nails to grow.
So what is your problem?
My problem is feeling as though I am loosing my boyfriend to work. He has recently got a new job in a bar and he works Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights, on the Friday and Saturday he usually works 6pm until 2am and on the Sunday and Monday he works 6pm until 10pm. Its means that I never really get to see him over the weekend as he is either working or sleeping. There is also a new job for me on the horizon and I will be working days, a couple during the week and a couple on weekends, this means that we will barely get to see each other if we can barely see each other when only he is working.

I have so many petty problems right now it would be hard to pick just one!
I suppose my current top problem would be that I can't seem to lose weight. My husband continuously buys me "treats" and I just can't seem to get it into his head that I am trying not to eat that stuff. He just bought me these delicious cheesecake bites. They are really delicious! The good thing about them is that they are small and 20 calories each. However, I can't just eat one. He also likes to buy me pop.
I just can't seem to make myself exercise either. I can't/won't do it alone and don't have a "buddy" who will pair up with me and nag me into exercising with her. Or someone to do weekly weights together who will tell me not to get discouraged when the needle doesn't budge as fast as I would like and will cheer for me when it does.
I am sorry that you don't get to see your boyfriend as much as you would like. That really does stink. But you will just have to make the little time that you do have together count more. Quality not quantity.

I did start going to the gym, and it was good for two weeks, but now I can't seem to motivate myself to go as it is a 30 minute walk to get there and another 30 minute walk back, so that is a workout in itself. I wish I had someone to walk up with and then it wouldn't be as bad. Good luck with loosing the weight.
I am seeing my boyfriend more now than when I made the post, he has promised to get up earlier so that we have more time together, before he needs to go to work.

What is the maid doing wrong? Have you talked to her about it? And if your Mam can stop her doing whatever she is doing then why not tell her?

The problem in my life at the moment is my current exam session - i really want to pass them all, so i don't have to pay about 25 $ for each exam that i not pass, to take it again in fall.

I have just finished my exams, if I fail or don't get the grade I want, I have to pay £15 per exam paper, which is $30 and could mean $90 for one subject and I do five subjects.

I know what you mean with your boyfriend. I feel the same thing with mywife. She only thinks about work and works after hours. This affects me too much not because she is away, but because she gets too stressed with it and doesn't feel in the mood for hour relationship. I guess it is not the time you spend togethet that matters, it is more if things are fine between the couple. I would say that this is also the problem that is bothering me the most.

I hope that you manage to sort things out and that she learns to calm down a little and realise there are more things than just work. I have got a job now, so I think that things will be a little better and won't bother me as much, because I will be busy too, although it means we will actually be seeing each other less.
