The situiation is im on graveyard shift and i arrive home at 12noon.. I can only sleep for 3 hrs to meet my girl friend everyday.. Tgen yesterday i felt really tired and when i went to see my girl friend i told her that i think its better if we can see each other every other day so that i can rest sometimes.. But she suddenly got mad.. Ive been doing that process for almost two months straight and im feeling that my body is already giving up physically.. I dont know what to do.. Even if i told her in the most nicest and sweetest way that i can..

is it not possible to meet her later? i remember when i was young seeing things like this as a sort of test of a relationship that my boyfriend would pay met lots of attention, and come and meet me at the time i wanted, and i am sure i had quite a few arguments over this sort of issue, but i think you have to put your foot down, and either meet her later, or as you say, every other day.
i think its quite normal when you are young to have this sort of argument, i remember doing it, and in a way you should be flattered. i think. but then they weren't lasting relationships, and i would never be that mean to the special person in my life now, but then i am older now.

Welcome to mylot!
If your girlfriend loves you and you tell her exactly why you want this, there should be no problem. If she likes you and only want you to amuse her, she will get mad no matter what explanations you give. Talk to her again and be clear. Your health is important. For you, to begin with, and to her if she loves you.

I know what do you mean here.
I also worked with graveyard shift and rest is the best thing to sustain life and have energy for the next shift.
So,every minute counts.
You need to explain to your girlfriend the importance of your health,or maybe your girlfriend is not considerate to understand your situation.
She doesn't love you, but only love herself and never think for your welfare and health.
You need to tell her about it..or let her read this topic,she might understand then.
have a good day

Maybe she is afraid of losing you or she is just selfish in a way that she can not see the real picture in your explanation. Caring is very important in every relationship, and if someone does not want to give you a chance to relax you mind in resting, then that person wants to kill you softly. Just do what you told her

if i were on your shoe, i would really consider my health than my girlfriend. .if she can't understand then i better leave her and find a new one who can understand my work and my health .. that girl is just being unfair all she think is herself not thinking about you . .our body needs to rest at least 6 hours a day . .

Well your gf is not working isshe? is she a student who does not have her own life to live and that she needs you by her side everyday even if that sacrifices your health?
i think this person does not love you, it is very selfish of her to not know what you are going through and how you are dealing with the situation by telling her about what you are already feeling due to lack of sleep. doesn't she notice that in you?
I think there is some problem with her understand and if she does not get that into her head... i think you are better off.
its simple how would you think your life will be when you end up with her only to see her get mad at you for the natural things you should be doing like sleeping and taking care of yourself.

I think it's unreasonable for your girlfriend to make such a demand. If she is a person who truly loves you, then she must understand the difficulty you're going through. Sleeping for only three hours a day is very bad---it can affect all aspects of your life. You won't be able to function effectively at work. When you go see your girlfriend you're probably so sleepy she'd be annoyed. If she wants you to suffer for her sake and she doesn't care about your health and well-being, then probably you should rethink whether you still want to be with her.

Hi johnarvin1990!
Maybe you should ask your girlfriend why she wanted you to see her everyday. Well I know that you're in a relationship and it's an ought to see each other, but I think there's exception in the rule especially in your case. And more over with today's technology, there's just so many ways to communicate and even express your sweet things with her.
I believe if she really loves you and concern with you, definitely she will understand you're situation, and even worry more about your health.
Have a nice day!

your health is more important than girl friend.tell her that you need some rest both mentally and physically.if you dont rest you will be admitted in hospital for more days and you cant see her whenever she wish.many will wont understand and its in our hands to make them understand.due to posessiveness she may act like that.dont mistake her.tell your situation straightly without hurting her.she will understand you.

True love can understand . It is also patient and no selfish. Maybe it would be better if you will explain to her the consequences of your lack of sleep. I she still cannot understand and insist on seeing you everyday, then she may only have that infatuation .:-) hahaha
Tell her, that not seeing everyday does not lessen your love for her. Give that assurance and that you only need some rest. If she wants that to see you 6 feet below the ground after several months of having lack of sleep. Then you make your own decision what to do with her. :-D

Your health is important my friend. You wouldn't be a good company if your feel sleepy and tired when you are together. Your girlfriend should consider that you are working and not just fooling around.
She should remember that if you are not well and not fit it will always affects your relationship. Seems like she is so selfish, she is even jealous with yourself! Wow!
she should take care of you and not the other way around.
