How to support overly busy boyfriend but still have my needs met at the same time?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is super busy and is stressed out about work. He barely has time for me and when we meet (for like 1-2 hours max, twice a week) he mostly just complains about work. I feel neglected but I want to remain supportive yet I still feel like I’m entitled to demand that he spares some time to nurture our relationship. How can I still be supportive but without completely disregarding my needs (for quality time with him, attention, etc)?

You are entitled to some time with him to nurture your relationship

Would receiving oral help or are you thinking more of emotional support?

I basically just wanna spend time with him both physically and emotionally but I don’t wanna come across as being too needy so I never really pushed him to make time for me

You are entitled to have your needs met too

I will try to talk to him about this and see if we can find a middle ground. Thanks for taking the time to answer ☺️

tell him quit his job and run his own business , as long as he worked for other he has no choice but being their slave

[Asker]

That’s the problem, he’s running his own business lol now he has all of his employees, company finances, clients and etc to worry about. Whereas of you work for someone, all you gotta focus on is your job and tasks

He needs to find a new job

[Asker]

He’s just a workaholic by nature so no matter what job he gets he always put his all into it and he’s also very career-focused. I’ve been thinking maybe he should just find a new girlfriend instead… I obv don’t want him to choose between his work or our relationship so maybe I’ll just walk away?

Then you'll never be happy with him cause your not a priority in his life work is. That being said you have to decide can you deal with that can you be with him and be happy knowing the situation

[Asker]

Yeah I figured… I guess I just have to let him go, thanks for the advice!
