can you devote to your work when your girlfirend want your accompany often

The man that I am with now is a workaholic and I feel neglected at times because he has so much to do and sometimes it seems that he is quick to help other people but not me. Maybe it's because I am an independant person and when push comes to shove, I get what I need to get. But I told him last night that I am feeling lonely and neglected. You have to learn how to balance it out.

If you had a girlfriend and you are serious with your study. A problem may surely occur. I don't think that you had to give up your lover because you have no time for her. You can explain to her the reason why you can't always be at her side. I'm sure she will understand, that if she really love you.

I think when someone loves you she/he will understand each other even the pain or the hardest problems that will come. In a relationship to work out their is cooperation,agreement, and compromise. In a relationship it is also important that you both grow together and learn together. There's nothing wrong pleasing her but not all the time. A relationship is a two way street. Relatioship is a case to case basis. Why not talk to her and explain it to her that your education is for the both of you and your future. If she will be not opening her mind about it now it's up to you. What will you choose your future or your girlfriend? If she loves you she will understand not only her benifits that she should think. You have your own life to make. Have a nice day!

well then you should talk to her clearly that you won't be able to devote time to her very often ... better you both keep timings when you can meet in that way she won't be expecting you every minute to talk to her and she will wait anxiously for the next meet. anyways its just my suggestion good luck friend.

When I was in college the second time around after a divorce, I just wanted to concentrate on studying. Sometimes I went on dates and eventually had a boyfriend. Everyone wants to be loved, but you have to also put forth some effort or they might not be there later. YOu might want to tell your girlfriend that you are doing this for your future and hers, too, if she is going to stick with you. Another thing to try is to let one class grade slip a little so you can spend time with her. It is hard to balance all the things you need to do in your life but some things must be done. I used to work long hours in college in the lab finishing my studies and my boyfriend would call me and wonder why I was at school so much. LIke you said, it is easier to concentrate when you are not bothered. But I think if you want someone to be there for you then you must also invest the time in the relationship like you do in school. There is no easy answer. It depends how secure and understanding a bf/gf is with you. I hope you figure it out and good luck.

You must do time investment of time an schedule your time accordingly, give some time daily for your studies and your girlfriend. Make your girlfriend understand more about your studies and its importance.
