So my boyfriend is really into skiing; he goes every weekend pretty much, and sometimes he's gone the whole weekend. I will go once in a while, but I'm really not as into it, plus I can't afford it right now because I'm a student.
We're both pretty busy during the week, so the weekend is really the best opportunity for us to spend time together. However, since he's often pretty busy on the weekends as well that doesn't leave a lot of options for us. We spend some nights together during the week and occasionally on the weekend, but I feel like it's not enough and I get resentful.
He knows that I want him to spend more time with me, but he's also very adamant about continuing to do the things he loves and pursue his own interests. He likes to be active a lot and doesn't want to stay home and just hang out, so if he's not skiing he wants to go running or cycling or something, and those aren't really interests of mine. He's not sure how to resolve this, and neither am I.
I don't know what to do. Are we just incompatible? Do I expect too much? Is he being unrealistic and unwilling to compromise?
