I still haven't tried this angle out of respect and love. You may be joking but this outspoken way may actually work.

No I'm not.love her to death and make time for her of course,but when i had a long day and she's trying to bother me with stupid gossip and bullshyt I tell her exactly what i posted.took a little time but she respects it now

Women like it more when you aint got time for them, makes them thirst for the dikk intensely due to their lack of fulfillment. Plus if you're making money it only increases their hunger.

I ran into this situation. My girl doesn't outright tell me she is unhappy with my schedule interfering with "her time"...she pouts.

I am not the type to NOT have time for her either, but I would cut corners and end up only engaging when it's "clobbering time":troll:. So I just explained to her that she can assist me when I'm home...like a sexy ass secretary. My productivity dips slightly...and she getting attention.....and I'm still getting guts....and I get to hit with my work boots still on occasionally. I love hitting with my work boots on.:yeshrug:

You got to have a balance. it's hard giving advice when you don't know specifics. I would say if you are struggling then grind but if you are financially stable and you're just being money hungry then I can't blame her. Money isn't everything.

Some women are fukking retarded when it comes to this and that's usually because they aren't too bright to begin with. If she doesn't understand and throws a little hissy fit every time this discussion comes up, it might be time to cut your losses... seriously. If I'm with someone long-term they need to have some ambition so they will understand when I'm on my grind, I'm on my grind, doesn't mean I like/love you any less but I got work to do to position myself better in the future.

It depends. If you aren't truly treating her like an after thought while making sure you have time for everything else, then I can understand her being upset. I saw my dad work 40+ over time 80% of the time and still made time. If its important to you, you will. But if its greed and you are cancelling plans if money comes up constantly then you should just be single. You are focused on money right now nothing wrong with that. Just don't drag someone along when you really don't have time or care to.

If you are really trying to make time, you have explained this to her from jump, you are working for the both of you, have a goal, balance your time etc... If she is just being irrational I would throw her in the bushes

Edit: I didn't read spouse, still would say you aren't compatible and want different things and are in different pages. Counseling might help sometimes people need a third party, unbiased person to explain to them.

Do you have goals? Like you want to save up a certain amount and then you'll stop working as much? If that's the case explain that to her and ask her to be patient.

If you're just slaving away for the sake of, then it's probably best you break it off with her.

Me, myself and I
I'm running into a hell of a time trying to take my finances to the next level and trying to explain it to my lady. Women like the perks of a man having extra money but they don't like a busy man but if we didn't have the extras, she would still complain and act shytty. How do you explain shyt like this without coming off sounding like a pimp selling his hoe a dream?

So you work every day? You have no days off? No vacation weeks? The only time you are home is to sleep?

If she is important to you,you will find ways to spend time with her, even if it is 10 minutes. Make those 10 minutes count. When you come home and she is standing there, do you approach her, hug and kiss her hello or do you walk by, wave and go straight to the bathroom?

Do you have any meals together? That's a great time to catch up and show interest in each other's day.
