Let me preface this by saying that in some ways I get where you’re coming from. I haven’t been with my boyfriend long, almost a year, but his schedule is crazy as well. He works 12 hour days, gets off at 11, and by the time he makes it home at almost 12pm he’s exhausted and I maybe get about 30 mins with him before he falls asleep. As you can imagine this arrangement can be hard, but the saving Grace is who he is as a person, and I think this is something you have to recognize within your partner. My boyfriend is the sort that drives the 45 mins after work every night to my place because he wants to fall asleep with me. He finds a store still open that late and will grab me flowers if he knows I had a bad day, or anything I need. He gets one day off a week and spends majority of it with me after taking care of any errands he has. These are things he does, because that’s his character. If your partner is not the sort to prioritize a little time with you, or do thoughtful things for you, it’s less about work life and more about the desire to do things that say ‘even though I work a lot, I appreciate not only your accommodations but you as a person’. I don't know if he was always this way, like maybe he started off doing little things to show you love. But if right now or for a while he hasn’t, it’s either something you make peace with, or have a conversation about and go from there.
