If your partner is complaining, it means it’s real. You can keep the job while doing your best to balance it with the relationship. You know best how.

The two can go while you partner is mature enough

Your partner need to grow up. Selfish is a word that comes to mind.

I had a demanding job that took me all over the U S, but God always brought me home to be with my family so I could be with them especially for grand... family occasions. I had 4 boys & 1 girl, one a full bird Colonel in the air force retired now flys for United & one a full bird colonel in the army active. One was a wrestling coach & now an English teacher & my daughter is A bible teacher at a college in Northern California. There was a few missed occasions but with much prayer God brought me home for all the great occasions my sons & daughter needed me to be with. GOD CAN MAKE IT WORK! more

I think there’s room for both career fulfillment and a healthy relationship. If you genuinely love what you do, walking away from it entirely may... create a different kind of unhappiness. At the same time, when someone you care about feels like your career is getting all of your time and energy, that’s probably worth exploring together.

Maybe the answer isn’t necessarily a less demanding job, but finding better boundaries and being more intentional about protecting time for the relationship. A fulfilling career should be an important part of your life without having to become your entire life. more

Seems like you’re being forced to confront some issues, that can be tough. Take some time to introspect and to think about what you’re being asked to... confront both in your relationship and your work. Once you’ve give it some thought, enough to understand your own needs and those of your partner, set aside some time, maybe over a nice dinner, to talk with your partner. We all have feelings and we all want to feel seen and heard. It’s important that you both have that opportunity. I’m sure there’s a compromise somewhere.

Perhaps the most important thing, is to think of this not as problem, but as an opportunity. Sometimes issues like these can help deepen the bond in relationships, and you might find that it helps you grow as an individual.  more

It's a positive step that you are addressing the age-old life-work balance challenge, a matter you may face your whole work life. You have to decide... your priorities, identify your work-o-holic tendencies, and ultimately strike a balance of the two. Speak to your employer and also speak to partner. more

I don't know what kind of work your really doing but I think you people are to sit down and agree as a family and explain to him the terms of your job... because some occupation give you less time to attend to your personal life and other things. more

I don't know what your occupation specifically is but certain occupations, the military for example, and railroad operations become a "way of life"... due to hours of work and the amount of personal strain. Thus your partner may not understand that you are in an occupation that is "a way of live". more
