Women say they love a hard working man… I have a job that pays around 350k a year but I work like 80 hours a week. She said she loves that I work hard, I went to work, told her I’ll talk to her in a few hours, and she dipped on me because I didn’t 1/2

That’s on her, sadly you can’t please everyone and some people will expect more from you than you can realistically give It’s healthy to communicate about your schedule and when you’ll be able to talk to her, so I don’t think you did anything wrong here

It sounds like you and her aren’t compatible. A woman saying she likes that you work hard, or likes a hard working man in general, is not necessarily a synonym for “I’m cool with him working 80-hour weeks”. Personally, i would prefer someone who works hard in 40 hours and has time and energy to spend together. To me, time is more valuable than money after basic needs are met.

Think of it this way.. is all that money worth it if you can’t enjoy it with those you love? I agree with #4 in that I also love a hard worker but wouldn’t be with them if what they had to do to make that money or have the job they want would mean I’d barely see them, I’d rather them work less hours and make less money (especially when you make as much as you where the majority of it is probably unnecessary and spent on luxuries not necessities) but I get to actually spend time with them than

I understand wanting more attention, but if she got into the relationship knowing how your work schedule was then she should be understanding of that. But it can suck when you want attention from your partner but they’re not there

I mean sometimes that’s just how it is with her I guess. But I do agree that I think a lot of women who say they want a hard working man with a high paying job underestimate the time commitment that goes into thag

If you’re smart with investing you could get easily 100-200k from annotation 350k capital investment. That means you could earn 200k a year by doing nothing besides managing a stock portfolio of 350k

I don’t know if the woman you’re talking about actually communicated well, but my comment is just an explanation of why someone might say what she said and still leave

Be with someone I barely even get to see, live with, spend time with and just feels like someone who I have no connection with because we barely live together enough to create memories and experiences. It seems like you seem to think all will be good if you bring home loads of money but that’s not what a relationship is about… there has to be time spent together, memories made experiences lived together, you need to be able to rely on them, have physical contact from anything to holding hands to

Intimacy. That’s what usually happens with both men and women that focus mainly on their career, they end making loads of money but to get to that point they end up neglecting their personal relations.

I’m 22 just trying to get my life to a point where I can calm down and enjoy it. It takes some sacrifices but i think it will be worth when I’m 25 and have multiple streams of income

Then I’d personally hold off on getting into any serious relationships. At least until you’re able to split your time evenly between work and your partner

You can fairly consistently get 5% a month from investing
