My boyfriend only wants to hang out once a week?

[Anonymous]

Me and my boyfriend have been dating for 5 months now and in the beginning it was nice because we lived in the same apt complex so I could go see him whenever I liked and he seemed fine with that...well then he moved and got a new job which he puts in like 50 hours a week at but we have the same 2 days off every week but ill spend the night one day and then we will hang out the next day usually with his family not alone and then he says he wants the rest of his time off to himself, but invites his guy friends over who are allowed to bring their girlfriends...do you guys have any idea what's going on with this guy?

I learned through my relationship that men need space and time alone as well as with their friends. In a healthy relationship there is a balance between the girlfriend/boyfriend and friends. Don't push to hard with the friends card. In the end you will only turn him off. You need to express how you feel. If he is having a party and his friends bring their gfs than you should be there too. He may be wanting more time apart. Don't freak out. It happens to every guy sometime in the relationship. You need to stress balance and respect. If he cares about you and the relationship he will make an effort to do just that. Middle ground between the both of you will go a long way. Hope that helps
