well, that would be depend on what he/she feel inside (thrust and faithfull) and the reason of having spend less time together (work urgency or cheat with other).
sigh, sometimes long distance relationship works and sometimes it tearing a part... i dont know why precisely myself as thank God i never experience such relationsip before.

Time does matter, no matter how short or long. It's quality time that counts.
I understand the need for work. The demands of life are such. There is a time of separation necessary, because one partner has to make a living.
But what I would hate--and I thank God that that isn't the case--is to come home to a situation where she is making a 100 other excuses as to why she doesn't want to be with me after work. She then goes somewhere where I don't know where she's at. It would really make me think that she's hiding the fact that she'd rather be elsewhere and with someone else.

Well, to be really understanding a woman's heart is like trying to figure a labyrinth our true way of life... It's never be an easy task, especially when communication is sometimes noneffective or turn out horribly wrong... Even I sometimes found hard to understand my wife point of view, as my simple mistake/act can actually bring her wrath... Yup. Understanding... Sometimes she need a space to be alone...
Keep trying to gain her heart may be your solution as may be there was no one else but you (she need to be alone)... May be your word hurts her feeling... I don't know... And ask her directly is a bad idea based on my experience.

The more you love someone, the more you wanted to spend time with him or her. But, in today's world many couples are busy with works, or other things and have little or less time to spend with their partners, and that doesnt meant that once you spend less time, the love will be less too.
I have to admit that spending time with your loved ones is a very important thing. It shows your commitment toward each other and also every couple need to spend time together to communicate, to relates, to bonds and just to love.
My husband and I are quite busy, we work monday to friday, and at night usually we have church things to go to, be it choir, music practice, singer, bible study and stuff, and this goes on almost every day of the week all the time. Sure we go to everything together... but that doesnt always mean we got to spend quality time with each other.
However, since we got married last year, we tried to limit our activities so that we will have time for just the two of us at least once or twice a week. We need it to restore our love, to communicate, to just talk and spend quality time together, therefore our love is stronger

They say that if you love someone, spend a lot of time with her/him. It is true even if your single or not. I am a married person and i can say that one of the most important thing to consider in a relationship is the time you spend with your loved ones.
You cannot turn back time, nor can you buy it, it is precious to be with someone than just sending cards, gifts and valuables. Don't you think that most family gap happens when parents don't spend quality time with their kids and kids become so dysfunctional because of this, their parents keep on giving them things they need but time to spend with them is lacking.
If hubby comes home after work, i do stop what i am doing and attend to him. I cannot glued myself and just ignore him because that means coldness and uncaring for me. I would massage his back, ask him how's his day at work, and then prepare food to eat, then we watch movie together. I will really stop typing here at Mylot and log out once he arrived and do spend quality time with him alone.
