Loving a Workaholic: How to Steal
Some of Their Time
By
Tramaine Cavil
It’s no secret that for the majority of us, we’re drawn to men and women that have achieved a high level of success in their lives. There’s something about achievement, success, and financial stability that makes an average person sexier and a good looking person extremely sexy . It may be their confidence or their swagger that they’ve obtained from their accomplishments that draws us in, or it may possibly be the privileged life that they may be able to provide us that gets our attention.
For those of you that have captured the heart of someone that is successful, you know as well as I do that sometimes the reward for snagging your accomplished mate, isn’t always rewarding. In order to achieve success they have to put in the work, which generally means you’re left alone the majority of the time because your partner is a workaholic. They’re driven, they’re determined, they’re focused, and some days you’re lucky to get a 5 minute conversation from them. It’s not that they love you any less; it’s just that they have another love in their life and they haven’t mastered how to spread the love around.
So how do you steal time from a workaholic? Here are a few tips!
Schedule Your Time!
Should you have to schedule your time with the one you love? No. But do you have to schedule your time with the one you love if they happen to be a workaholic? Yes! That’s if you want to have a good time. Workaholics have one thing on their mind, work! Spontaneous interruption of their thoughts to do random things you came up with will only frustrate them and make them absent minded because they’re still thinking about work. Schedule the time a couple of days ahead so they can wrap their minds around not focusing on work during your scheduled activity.
Express Your Feelings
If you allow it, a workaholic will take advantage of your non-communication and your lack of complaining. If he or she doesn’t hear that you want to steal a bit of their time or that you’re not feeling loved because you don’t seem like a priority in their life, they will go about their business and keep plugging away at their goal. Communicating your feelings may get them to set more time aside for you. If they don’t know how you feel then they can’t do anything about rectifying the problem.
Join Them!
In some cases, you can’t get involved in what your workaholic lover is doing because you don’t have the background, the education, or the experience. But in a lot of cases you can; especially if they are a workaholic from home. Find an opportunity that will allow you to participate in what they’re doing to help out. Not only will you be able to share this time together, but you may also get done early because there are two people working on the project instead of one; which will allow even more time to spend with one another.
The determination in workaholics is engrained in them so instead of trying to work against them, your energy will be better used working with them. Their goals may seem singular because of the amount of time they spend dedicated to their work, but their goals are to provide the both of you as well as your family a better and more comfortable life.
