I've been in a relationship for two years now. The first year was spent living like a teenager with him. We did all sorts of crazy and wild things together. I felt as though I was neglecting the important things I was suppose to do like my studies for college, raising my daughter, and other homebound stuff.
Recently I had gotten really sick and ended up in the hospital. I am now very homebound and told my boyfriend that I am busy doing things that call for my attention like house work, taking my courses of study again, and preparing my daughter for school. He had gotten really upset at this and told me I am now starving our relationship.
Before I met him, I was doing house work, courses of study to further my personal goals, and helping my daughter in her learning. My boyfriend watched me do this the first couple months of our relationship before I started to slack. Why is he so upset at my real lifestyle? Is it so hard for the single carefree man to understand these important things?
Has responsibility to family life really disappeared in this world? He thinks I work too much now and that I should take time for myself. I'm just wondering if he is being selfish or if I truly am working too hard....

I think he is being selfish. He shoulkd give you the time and space that you need for your career and family. If not he might not be the one that deserves you.

You are the only one who can make that decision. My belief is that a child should come first if you have one also that the partner in your life should be supportive if they have feelings for you. But remember it is real easy to overwork. Try to balance.
