Little worries...

I posted on here the other week about feeling depressed and stuff, it's not as bad now as I have gotten myself a little job! It's kickass, 2-10 everyday, tiring as I am standing on my feet all day, but I love it as it's in a Microbiology lab and I need to get scientific/lab experience before I finish my degree, plus I can do part time hours when I start Uni and any holidays so w00t!
Anyways, enough about my job...The reason I have these worries is because my boyfriend is kind of annoyed, we usually only get to see each other when he finishes work which is normally about 5/6-10 at night so now I am doing those hours we don't get to see each other, only for about 30 mins or so because he has kindly said he will pick me up every night after I finish, he says he is glad I'm working and he's proud of me but he's just pissed off that our limited time is now even more limited, then earlier he went in a thrombo saying he wasn't gonna see me on Friday then saying '**** it, forget the weekend we may as well give up' which upset me and he keeps saying he thinks we will drift apart and I will get bored of him, I dunno what to do I took this to get my experience and a guaranteed job, and to help my mum as she works there and ends up having to work sometimes till 1-2am, 12 hours a day so if I have the job there, as well as some other new people who I have made friends with (The other thing I was down about but I digress) then the work gets done quicker and we can all go home earlier, but he is just being all depressive and moody and I dunno what to do, we were supposed to go to the movies on Friday (before we knew about me getting the job) and he wanted to take me see Harry Potter but now we won't be able to go on Friday and he is really pished off about it...I am trying to reassure him but it's just falling on deaf ears and I am worried incase he will get sick of me, I'm trying to do the best by everyone around me but it's so hard...Gah!

Sounds like he's just angry and saying "we oughta just give up" because he is upset. He doesnt really wanna give up, but he's missing you. You both need to work out when you can see eachother. If you're working 2-10 and he's working 5-10, that still leaves time. There's 24 hrs in a days. Dont you have weekends off or something. Don't feel like you shold give up your job over the relationship, it should work around it.

what about stayin over the night ??
or ther is always wkends i dont suppose you are working those if you are working through the week

lets look at it this way, if he truely likes you which it seems he does he should stick with you i take it he would prob see you less due to uni restarting anway
if not ther is always other people and it will help you out in later life

Hes just upset cause he cant see you every night. You'll soon settle into a new routine of seeing him at weekends and maybe staying over at each others houses a couple of nights a week?

You've been lucky to be able to spend so much time with him, i wish i could see my other half once a week not alone everyday!!

I'd talk to him about it and see if there's any way of still being able to see each other.
My boyfriend also blew up a few months ago because I was studying, and we weren't able to see each other for 4 months.

Thanks for replying guys, it was actually me who was working 5-10 just to clarify until I went full time today on 2-10 working hours, he works 8-5 so it's a pain, I guess it was better tonight we talked he doesn't feel as bad he says he has to get used to not seeing me as much, and we have the weekend together plus about 30 mins each night which is better than a kick in the teeth...The job is actually winding me up now though as I am having to work 8 hours with only 30 mins to get a munch no other breaks which you are supposed to, I have to work overtime every night which is till 12am most of the time, and there are no chairs/stools, I am on my feet for 8 hours a day it's dreadful.
