WORKAHOLISM

we are so "busy" working, and doing things that we neglect those who love us.
we say we are "tired," but a text message or an email does not take that one minute. It does not matter the extension. It's the detail whta matters.
A 5 minutes phone call is not to goint to put us behind in whatever we are doing at the moment.
People who are in a "relationship" can spend days without talking because they are "busy" or "tired."
And when the other person asks why he/she didn't hear anything from his/her partner, the "partner" gets aggrivated because he/she does not understand how "busy" or tired" he/she is or was.
so guys let's keep having these kinds of "relationships"
let's keep being individualistics
and let's keep pretending that everything is fine if we don't talk to each other for a couple of days
because we need our space anyway, right?

I never had the problem of an ex spending too much time at work. On the contrary, it was getting their dead carcasses off the couch or out of the bar to get a job.

It's a proven study that the #1 thing couples argue about is money. In all seriousness... I wouldn't mind being dirt poor, so as long as my other half contributed 50/50 in every way.

I had to work 2 and 3 jobs AND take care of kids... while my exes partied, cheated and spent cash we didn't have on useless crap.

Happy to say that now- I work 1 job, take care of 2 kids on my own and pay all my bills on my own. I think I like this life better... less arguing and hassle.

when a person have the intention to cheat is not a workaholic
cheating is whether pathologic or because there is a lack of something in the so called relationship.
if we revised statistics, cheating is not.
we can kill love for neglection.
love is like a campfire at night, if we don't keep adding fire wood to it it will vanished easily.
neglection hurts more than cheating because I'm being changed for a thing.

Golden and Walker ever think of a slight compromise in that you both have valid points but It may very well be that The #2 cheating may be a direct result of not enogh effore #1 is put into the relationship. Walker you might have already stated part of this but in just a diffrent way.happy

Cheating and finances are number one killers in relationships. I am a work-a-holic and know what you are saying. Unless both people have the same busy schedule and are both going at the same pace then one is sitting waiting on a call or a message or something and feeling neglected which can lead to cheating on the persons part that does not feel they are getting enough attention from their s/o. Finances are killers if one is contributing much more than the other or one is spending more than the budget can afford.
Solution: Pick partners that have same work habits, work ethics, and finance ethics/resources that you do. Opposites do not generally attract in those areas!
