How do I get my girlfriend to understand my sacrifices that I make at work?

Let's face it... when you work away from home for 14 days and come back for 7 there are not a lot of girls who are willing to help and support you being away from home. Even if I gross 200,000.00 K a year most girls would ditch their man the moment their boyfriend said they worked 14 days away from home. Why is it so hard to explain to good girls that the sacrifices I make away from home are not done because I enjoy it but because I have too! What use would I be at home for my skills... Work at a corner store and make minimum wage just so I can be a lesser of a man and throw away my education and experience just so I can feed her dick and everything else that comes with it? Sure I love her and she's great but it seems like she does not understand my choices or sacrifices that allow us to have to life we have now. How can I make her understand that even I am not at home for her and it hurts but have little choice in the mater that I would be a useless tit doing nothing at home.

Hey man, I get where you're coming from. It's not easy being away from home so much and having your girl feel lonely or underappreciated. But coming at her hard ain't gonna help - you gotta meet her with empathy and patience too.

Maybe try sitting down when you're both calm, and have her share how she's really feeling without judging. Listen deeply to understand her perspective. Then gently share your perspective too, without making it a "me vs her" convo. Compromise is key.

What if you looked into some options that could let you spend more quality time together occasionally? Even taking a long weekend together every few months could help her feel more connected. Or video chatting daily while you're away?

Explain your goals are to support your futures together in the long run. A caring relationship takes effort from both sides. Why not try couples counseling too, to find healthier ways to communicate your needs?

I know the job is demanding, but your girl's needs matter too bro. See if there's any middle ground that works for you both. Compromise and teamwork are what make relationships last man. You got this!

Does she live at your house and do you pay all the bills?

You might not be able to. It sounds like you and her are just not compatible. She wants a relationship in which you are more present, which is causing her to not respect your job due to how often you are gone away. You don’t want to give up your job because doing so would sacrifice the lifestyle you have built and the all the hard work you put into getting where you are now.

Most people want to be together daily, and that's understandable.

Find a partner with their own business; they will understand you, and you will have to understand them. Win-win.

Just get a girlfriend who cares. She's not into that lifestyle, so she can find someone with a lifestyle that is compatible with hers. That's it.

Just talk to her about it and make her understand
