Depends. How long have you been going out with him?
If you both decrease the no: of hours you are working, maybe you still meet up? Working long hours can be quite stressful...

I think its natural that you do not get time to go out when you spend time working together. Me and my boyf. used to see each other 5 days a week 9-5 at college (we shared most of the classes) plus he saw his family on Saturdays so that left little time to ourselves or to do any outiside activities. It frastrated me/ still does-lives to short and all that!

As for meeting his parents - I've been going out with my boyf. for nearly 3 years and I've only met his mum 3 times. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

it is rare i even see him at work i jus scared of losing him :frown: and i been with my bf a yr and not met his mum only spoke to her on the fone and that is for like a minute! Thank u
i know how ure feling... my gf and i haven't seen each other in well over 3 weeks, we live 18 miels apart and that nothing seeing as i can drive, but we have been so busy and recently she has been having problems, and this has meant we are not seeing each other, and tomorrow will be the first time in well 4 weeks and its going to be strange because we haven't been able to talk tor spend much time together, but i think tis true being apart makes the heart grow fonder
In terms of meetin parents, that really isn't an issue. Half my bestest friends parents i havent met, let alone gf! It really isnt important lol!

Yeah.. completely agree. You may alienate him by asking him. Parents are scary things.. and in my experience only judge.
Although it isn't everything, I think meeting his parents is an important thing to do, especially if he's close to his family. I love my boyfriend's mum to pieces, she's great!! :smile:

It'll make you and your guy much closer if you get to know his family, in my opinion. You'll feel more comfortable doing things with them and being around them in their own home. :smile:

As for not seeing each other, you can still make it work. I didn't see my boyfriend for 9 weeks in the summer :frown: as I was in new zealand and he was in the USA.... but when we got back and saw each other, it was awesome - the best feeling in the world!! :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

When you don't get to spend much quality time together.... it makes you appreciate all the time that you do have together so much more. :smile:
