Boyfriend troubles
My boyfriend is a great guy.He works double time to pay his bills.
However,He works alot, has two jobs and trains in boxing.
When he's not doing those, he's sleeping.
I feel a little neglected. We've talked about it before but he's seen it as nagging. How do I bring this up to him again (I told him I'd stop talking about it) without making it a confrenation or an arguement?
He hardly gives me any attention anymore and it makes me sad.
I want him to know I don't need to be doted on 24/7 but some attention would be nice.

it all depends on the type of guy he is. but dont be to hurt he is going thru a rough patch in his life and doesn't have alot of time to hang out with you but try bringing him little lunches at work or something and say i love you and than say call me when you get off. or you could get a 2nd job part-time and help him and he would have more time to hang out with you. but dont feel so hurt.

You have a right to feel the way you do. In fact my husband is like this at times too. What I have done in the past is get really busy myself. I go places and do things with friends, and don't invite him. I got tired of asking for his attention...so I didn't ask anymore, and like you I told him I wouldn't bring it up. What I have found is when I ignore him, he gets the hint much faster and will eventually ask for some time together. So when I pull away, he moves closer. I don't know if this would work in your situation, but it seems like you have nothing to lose by trying these suggestions.

Give him some attention. Like do little things for him and see if he returns them. Write 'I missed you' or something on a little post-it.. and put it where he sleeps. I'm sure it would make him smile and he might return the favor... or when he's not working or anything, plan something for the two of you..
