Don’t stress it. It just makes the time you do spend together mean so much more. I work full time and so does my fiancé. He only gets 1 day off a week if he is lucky and we don’t live together and so I see him once or twice a week if I’m lucky. It is hard but then when you do get to spend time with them it makes you treasure it more 😊

Enjoy your alone time. When you live with someone you don’t get much of it. I love having time to clean in peace, go shopping, paint my nails, etc. My husband has night classes and works occasional weekends and I look forward to having me time. Then when he comes home I’m happy to see him, he’s missed me, and we have more to talk about.

You do what you gotta do. I'm in a 5-year long grad program full time, so when school's in session, we barely see each other. He leaves for work at 4:30am, before I even get up, and most nights I don't get home until 9pm, after he's already asleep. We just enjoy the time we have together. It's not permanent, and it's for a bigger goal, I'm assuming. And if you're living together, you'll still be able to be together. I love crawling into bed after a long 14 hour day and cuddling up next to my husband. It's a great way to fall asleep at night, so even though we may not spend any waking time together, we are still able to connect.

My FH and I were long distance for a year when I went back in school. It was hard but it worked out well in the end.

Look at it as its to better him and you. Least when you guys do spend time itll be excitement.

Ugh, I hate it when schedules work like that.

But you can get through it!

Make a point of keeping communication however you can - texts, phone calls on breaks, little notes, etc. Put an emphasis on the time you do have.

And take advantage of the alone time!

I understand - it's hard to adjust to less time together. But, there will always be busier times in life; this is just one of those times. It'll happen in other ways throughout life and you'll find different ways to adjust. Take time each weekend to do nothing but be together, or do something together that you both enjoy. Schedules change over time and you'll have periods of more and less time together, but you'll figure out what works for you. Good luck!
