If yes, how did you guys managed that situation when you work full time and you study party time (or you just do both things) and also trying to have a relationship. I am on my early 30s and I started going to school again to improve my future, later I meet who is my girlfriend and the fact of not having time, it is causing serious issues, sometimes I think she will leave me or something, and I can't give up my goals, I am commited to get there since before I meet her, and the fact of me having goals is a very important thing, before I couldn't go to school and I didn't like at all not being doing anything with my free time after work. It's a long story, but if someone has any advice please feel welcome to share your story. Thanks in advance.

I am not seeing anybody else, all my time goes for work, school and her, I am barely having time to sleep during the week. I think it's good that I am studying, and I really would like her to understand she is also important, I hear "you are putting your career over your relationship", that's wrong. All I want is to get to my goals and enjoy her company!!!!! and have her on my side!, not against!

lack of time because you have two other things that are prominently important in your life...work and school.
if your GF is having issues that you dont have the time for her, she needs to get straighten out that:
1- you arent seeing anyone else;
2-she knew that you had a full plate with school and work beforehand; and
3-you have goals in your life that are as important as she is.
if she is going to give you the "its either them or me" ultimatum, thats a pretty selfish and needy attitude that is uncalled for and you are better off as friends or not at all.

Well, my bf and I work full time (actually he works full time + half a day Sat.) and live an hour apart. Neither of us are studying but we do live pretty far (I work 2 hrs from his work) and he works 54 hrs/week. We just try to make time when we can. If a relationship is worth working for you'll find a way to make it work out.

Get her to study with you which increases your time together (to-get-her). Every now and then take a break for a movie not only do you give her attention and time but it allows you to get a break from work and studies which u will need.
