Search Results: communication issues

I am dating a guy and everything is great but he works 6 days a week and only has one weekend day off (Saturday). We hang out any other day during the week or even Saturday during the day (he works graves). But, he spends that Saturday night every week with his friends and whenever I've tried to compromise with him and say that every once in a great while I'd like that night for him and I he always makes excuses so we don't hangout that night. Mind you, I'm confident he's not cheating we have great communication and everything is ideal minus this, but this is a huge issue cause he doesn't even want to hang out with my friends. We've been dating for almost a year now and I've only got to hang out with him once on a Saturday since we've been dating. He told me his guy time is special to him cause they have been there through it all in his life and he doesn't want to give that up. And he never gets to see them. I've told him that on a Saturday every once in a while he can hang out with them during the day and him and I at night and still.. nothing. Should I just forget about him and move on? I don't think I'm being unreasonable. Oh, and I've never met his friends either... (Sigh)

My boyfriend and I have had this reoccurring fights about how I sometimes let the small issues get to me easily. Issues meaning little things that he does that make me upset or a little annoyed.

He believes that patience and choosing not to have small things bother you, is the right way to handle smaller issues. So about 3months ago, we decided to try it his way. See if I can handle not getting upset over small issues. But it didn't go so well and we got into a huge fight.
I think that communication is important. If one person has something that bothers the other, they should come clean about it instead of letting it build up. It's a way to better understand one another. It's a way for two people in a partnership to come together. But my boyfriend says, communicating isn't who he is, and that's not the way he wants a relationship to go...
He needs to understand what ticks me off, but he is choosing to ignore the core problem and is telling me that I have a choice of being happy with him and I have a choice of not letting the small things get to me...
We are now on a month long break. He thinks that I'm wrong about communicating and doesn't think he should change anything. He doesn't understand why I'm mad and that I am to blame for for all the fights we've had...
He wasn't always like this... He was kind and caring when we first started dating... This was also around the time he started at his new job. He has been stressed about a lot of things...

Should I keep going at this relationship and try to resolve the problems when he doesn't even want to acknowledge them... Maybe he'll come around after this month...
I honestly don't know what to do... please help...
