Work/Life Balance

[threattonature]

I’ve heard both men and women complain about people being too busy on the grind to be emotionally available in a relationship.
For women, I’ve heard them complain about dudes who work too much to be emotionally and romantically present in a relationship.

For men I’ve heard them say they don’t want a chick too into her career that she can’t nurture them.

Both are expressing similar desires for better work/life balance.

What say you Coli?
If you meet someone on the grind, do you work with em even if they don’t have a lotta time for you?

Or do you pass or cut em off b/c u need more?

Or do you keep em in rotation until timing is right?

Also it this legit or is it a cop out?

If the chemistry is there then I am patient with the person as long as they are making an attempt to spend time together. I've been on both sides of the equation. I worked a job that I was on call basically 24/7 and it kept me on edge and made it hard to devote too much time or energy to anyone I was dating so I knew I needed to be with someone that was patient and understanding and had their own life.

I've also dated women that were busy. I was usually patient but it depending on if they tried to fit me into their own life. One woman would randomly be like "I'm going to Florida for the weekend so I won't be able to see you" and then complain about us not spending enough time together. I told her I understand that she is busy but just taking random trips because you need a mental break instead of us spending time together shows I'm not a priority so I cut her off.
