Be proactive and set up a date night that you can commit to on a weekly basis (dinner at a minimum). Surprise w gifts (flowers) every once in a while. Make your partner happy and be empathetic that your work is getting into the way of your life. If there is an issue that is them telling you that they feel ignored. Compromise to the extent that you can and to something that works for you both. This can even be an open dialogue between you two.
Give her more time and love her man! Take her out on dates, Travel places on fri-sat-sun. Take her to adventures. I mean understand what makes her happy, communicate effectively because that is very very important.
Him/Her*: Typo. Also, you dont become a small person if you take an initiative first. Again its all about understanding, listening, communicating, honesty!!
some people come on here for genuine advice and everybody just clowning around :/
There is a joke among recruiting that says don't look at the total pay look at the pay per hour. Just because you go from 80k to 180k doesn't mean your per hour goes up.
Yes. Have felt like just living to work for years and only 31. Any advice on how to find balance, especially on weekdays? Already going to gym but after I eat it’s bed time and days over… is being an entrepreneur the only way to financial independence?
As a previous business owner that worked 80-90 hour weeks, I agree that entrepreneurship isn’t for the feint of heart.
Buy her stuff that works
Get this 💩outta here’re this a professional platform SA
I think the best way to go about this is to have an open conversation with your partner about the new responsibilities and also try setting some boundaries at work. Like yea, work is important but you work to live, not live to work.
It is up to you to set workplace boundaries with your superiors. Just because you work for them does NOT mean they own you or your time beyond 40 a week - with additional hours for special projects or deadlines. But working 50-80 a week is literally employee abuse. Your superiors & company will continue to take advantage of you until you set boundaries.

Can you plan a couple dates? One mid-week one on the weekends?
Also, perhaps your partner should look into hobbies, and also socialize with their own friends.
May be trickier if you have kids.
A complaining partner will find something to complain about no matter what. Find someone who understands that your work is a necessity to get where you want to go. If they’re not on board now, it’ll only get worse later
My husband never complains. The only thing he’s ever complained about was my long working hours. It’s bc we hardly spent time with one another and I was overly worked. He was concerned. But that sucks your partners complained about everything else.
Yes - my husband would get very upset because I’d work long long hours everyday. Sometimes, you have to realize the work ain’t going anywhere. Prioritize a few days to just log off at the end of your shift. My husband understood if it was a couple days off long hours. But you have to prioritize your spouse too. And maybe delegate more stuff at work or give your boss a more realistic time. It’s difficult to balance overall. You’re not going to want to lose out on your relationship for work.
The real answer is … it’s really hard to manage. You can never balance correctly and something is going to be impacted. I had my wife stop working and I work a lot, there is pros and cons that need to be balanced, if I work less, she spends less time with children. I want both of us to retire early and be able to afford the nice stuff. If she can’t get on board, it may get worse so one of you needs to suck it up and compromise. Good luck with things!

Gotta let your partner know that the more money you make the more you will work. Of they want to benefit from your success they have to understand that.
Yes, I have found that. I realize that my partner wants to be around me and is concerned that I was not taking time to enjoy life. She was right. You can do both.
My husband is really good about managing this when he has his hectic weeks and will log off around 530 usually so we can do dinner as a family, and watch something together. And then I tend to go to sleep a little earlier because of nights and mornings with the baby so he will log back on around 1030/11 usually for another hour or 3 depending just how much he is sucked into it. It helps him keep up with work that’s crazy since his promotion as well, and it leverages some of his creative juices. And then allows us to find a good time for each other so that we continue to stay in sync.
Also! Try doing like a 5-15 minute walk with your spouse after dinner if you need to do some more work. That truly allows for connection time when work is nuts. You shut out everything else for that time.
It's really on you. Most jobs- unless they have a really great culture -- Will take more and more time, and will actually take as much time as you will give them. You have to set proper boundaries, and when you hit whatever time of the day or night it is when you have to stop, you have to close everything down and walk away. Away. Don't just let everyone contact you at all hours of the night, either. Let everyone know when you will be responding to emails and phone calls.
It also helps to have a separate phone for work. I can't be interrupted by work when my work phone is down in the basement in my office.
Both you and your partner may need to reckon with the fact that increased responsibility is part of your trajectory. This means trade-offs between long work-days and being more present on weekends or phone-free. We had plenty of scheduled date nights get pushed aside by work fire drills.
Have open dialog with your partner and be sure to give each other grace as you figure out thise trade-offs. For my family, it doesn't look like how we originally planned it but we found a way for it to work. Also worth noting, how I valued my time evolved every five years...between self, career, kids, elder care, etc.
Decide what kind of lifestyle you want to have and what is the priority. Then decide what you’re willing to sacrifice to get it. If you want nice things and/or to retire early there are things you’re going to sacrifice. If time together is the priority make sure your partner realizes that may mean you live a less financially grand lifestyle.
I hardly have any experience in the working world to be talking on these things but as a woman, communication is the focal point in any relationship. Try to set a side at least one weekend a month where you guys do something together and a movie night maybe once every two weeks. Just to spend time together it’s all how you make it work for y’all. I love a busy man a man that’s working to provide so i’ll be able to understand you have a busy schedule but as long as you make the time for me as well by the little things. That’s just me looking at it from a partner point of view. I hope that helps in the slightest. Wishing yall the best 🤍
You have to decide if you want to have a financially secured future by working more and making more money. Or if you want a good life balance by working a smaller roll and getting paid less.
No job that pays a great salary has a great work life balance unless your a doctor, and even starting out doctors have horrific work life balances.
