Work and relationships battle it out.
I work hard and love my job, though for the past few months I´ve been working Saturdays in addition to my normal Monday to Friday week. These extra responsibilities only come around a few times in the year during examination periods, and I do enjoy the variety of work it brings me, though I get very tired naturally.I´m in a relatively new relationship and as has happened on other occasions, the man in my life isn´t too pleased about my working schedule. I don´t blame him, nor do I think his complaints are unreasonable, but I´ve been single for a good few years now and find it difficult to change, or reduce my hours, much as I would like to. Partly because I can´t afford to, I may be single for the rest of my life so I have to work for as much, and for as long as I can in order to secure a reasonable standard of living when I eventually retire.
I worked today (Saturday) after a long week, and was too tired to go to a mutual friend´s party so I´m in his bad books at the moment.

I worked today too and I understand you completely. I don't think men really some men to be unreasonable, maybe they just don't think about the fact that when you are dating a woman who is financially responsible for herself and perhaps for her children too she must work many hours and she cannot be there for him many times. He will not be able to see her on his time anymore. With every gain there is a loss an many people men and women sometimes forget about that very important fact of life.
If you want a man or woman who is financially sound and secure ....well, you cannot expect that peson to be able to see you at your time of convenience....does this make sense?
