I have a wonderful relationship with my husband. We compliment each other very well. However, we did make a New Year resolution for each other after a lengthy discussion. I resolved to be less stubborn and he resolved to take on more responsilbility.

I want/wish that my partner would somehow spend more time with me. He seemed to be always busy at work even on the weekend and sometimes on some evenings but no matter what i have to understand him. I felt like I've been takin for granted...

Oh, yeah I understand you, I experienced the same thing as well. And yeah, you're right the best thing is to give understanding. You can also do other things that you love and enjoy so you would avoid thinking of the feeling being taken for granted. Of course he cares for you, just give him time and don't stop to show him how much you love and care for him. I'm sure one day he will realized and appreciate what you did. Wish you all the best. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

There are so many things that I would like from my husband. I would like him to want to spend more time with me and the kids. I would also like him not to lie to me. Right now it seems like he lies about everything. What is the point of being in a relationship if you cannot trust the other person.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, yeah it could be impossible for a relationship to last without trust, since it's one of the foundation. And having less time will only create gap and doubts will crept in. Well it's real hard in your situation, it takes you so much understanding for your relationship to last. How about doing something that will makes him able to sit down and talk about your problems? You both need time to spend together so you could able to open your self and honestly talk about it. Remember the worst thing anyone can do in every problem is to sit down and do nothing. Do something and give your best for the sake of your relationship. Anyway I wish you all the best. Good luck and God Bless. Thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I want to spend more time with my partner. We have this kind of a long distance relationship for years. I miss him a lot. I hope we could spend more time together. I also want him to be optimistic at all times and not be so hardheaded.lol.=)

lol, well being stubborn is quite usual, I myself is the same. Yeah, it could be real hard to live far away from your love ones. Being optimistic all the times takes a lot of courage, because there would come a time when you just get tired and weary living in this world. Well anyway,I'm sure one day you'll going to spend time forever with your partner. Wish you all the best. And thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

my boyfriend for me is perfect but for life circumstances we can't spend a lot of time together, and I wish that would happen for us. I wish we would be able to put our work aside every once i na while and be able to just be together.

I want time, bonding and physical moments with my partner... It' just that he's leaving for work again and we won't be able to see each other again for 10 months... He's very responsible, loving and mature person. It's just that he don't give much attention to our communication when we are away..

Yeah, we need so much time from our partner, because they're the one who give us happiness. And being away from them is quite hard, anyway I'm glad to know that he's a good guy based on your description, maybe he's quite busy that's why he can't able to communicate with you much often. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I´d be very pleased if he were able to open up to me more and discuss things which bother him. I feel excluded when he won´t, but do understand that we have different ways of communicating.

Yeah, there can be some people who aren't used on being open with their feelings and emotions. That the best thing we can do is to understand them, anyway if they want to tell and express their feelings they will. We just need to accept their kind of personality that differs from us. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I want more time with my partner alone without the kids. I want to scream during - well - figure it out. I want to be on the same page with my partner instead of us thinking we are on the saem page.
