Girls, Could you date someone who worked 75+ hours a week?

Question

I have, and I don't want to chalk up 1 bad experience to this. But I find that if someone works that much it makes it really hard to have a healthy relationship.

I refuse to date another workaholic. If its mandatory, thats different. But i’m referring to guys who would literally volunteer to work more hours, not because they needed the money but just because they were money hungry. I would prefer someone who works no more than 10-12 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. I would also prefer they not work before 6am and that they are off work by or before 7p. But if they feel too drained to do anything after work then its absolutely better that they only work 8-10 hour day shifts. Even I myself refuse to work night shift AND/OR more than 10 hours a day AGAIN.

Yes- I have. Presidents of countries have healthy relationships if they want to. It depends on the person and their priorities + their mental health. But also the needs of the partner. If you are with someone that needs to see you a lot, then maybe it won’t work. If you’re with someone that’s ok just cuddling at night when you come home and doesn’t need long chats and all day long together then it’ll work. And maybe plan weekends away so you have something to look forward to every month or 6 weeks so it doesn’t feel like you’ll never see the person. It just depends on creativity.

No.

A relationship takes time and I value work-life balance. Someone who works 75 hours a week doesn't value the same things, and won't have the time to join me in developing our relationship.

Also, that's mega workaholic hours to me. I doubt I'd get along much on a romantic level with someone who works that much

Probably not. Barely any time to actually spend together.
