Why are a lot of women so impatient when their man is working so much?

[Anonymous]

I’ve been working 120 to 144 hour weeks lately, and I’m honestly so exhausted that I just don’t text this girl I’ve been talking too because I rather use my free time to sleep. It’s just temporary. And it’s stupid because she keeps complaining to me, but if I don’t get enough sleep, I could probably die from exhaustion, or a heart attack because my job can be so physically demanding. It’s sad, but there’s women waiting 7 plus years for their man to be released from prison, yet this girl can’t even wait a few days for me. I hate that so much. And my coworker is doing the same thing with his girl. And yet, he thinks it’s better just to break up with her because she stresses him out more. And threatens him with breaking up with him if she doesn’t see him more. And I have other friends (more coworkers) that found their girlfriend cheating on them when they came back home. I honestly am starting to realize that women nowadays aren’t worth shit. Sad that we work so much for us and our women, but yet they don’t appreciate it….

So end things with her. You sound very unavailable right now with your schedule and you could spare both of you a lot of time. I’m sure you’ve said some variation of ‘it won’t always be like this, just be patient’ to her. I’m also sure ideally you want to date and have a female companion. But until you are able to have a better work/life balance then you will continue to bump heads about this with her. She’s asking for time and attention that you honestly may not be able to give right now no matter how much you want to. At the end of the day she’s human and her patience may just be running thin because you two are so stagnant.

Also, you say that she isn’t appreciative but what exactly shows that? Asking for some time or a text back in unappreciative? You said you two are talking, so not a real solid relationship, and what happens within it? Do you pay her bills or anything on her car? You giving her shopping, nail, hair money? You’re saying women aren’t shit but I don't know maybe you need to re-evaluate yourself as a man and as a potential partner.

im impatient when i don't know where i stand but im someone that has made it a priority at a young age to be ok on my own. some women can't function on their own and it will cause issues when they have to take a step back for a period. as long as everything has been communicated and they isn't left in the wind it should be ok.

The truth is, most women have all of the patience in the world for the unavailable bad boy, but none for a hard working man. It's as simple as that.

I share your frustration. Sometimes my wife would seem angry at me for the time I spent at work.

But that said, 120-140 hour weeks really is too much. You can't stay alert enough to do a good job for that many hours. Most people start to do more harm than good around 80 hours a week.

You make time for your priorities. You are actively chosing to not make her a priority for you. That choice, is the same as expressing disinterest toward her in her eyes.

She's acting possessive because you are moving on from the relationship and she has no plan in place.

Bruh just hav him on his off days? My man works overtime and is a diesel mechanic. Occasionally we would see each-other before his work too. He pretty much is the impatient one and wants to see me 🥰 even when he is tired asl, we hang out!

144 hour weeks? That leaves only 24 hours of not working. Seems impossible.

You're mad that a girl wants to talk to you and spend time with you?

Your hours are ridiculous. Why are you working so many hours?

Living to work is for fools. And you might as well be single if you are going to devote your entire life to work.

Because women are selfish and want to be center of attention 24/7

A 144 hour week would be over 20 hours a day 7 days a week.
