My boyfriend and I have been dating for 9 months, and he was unemployed from the moment I met him. This meant lots of free time together over the summer. Then he went to college and came back not soon afterwards. We started seeing each other daily when I started college and my new job.
Last week, he was hired on the spot by my boss in Menomonee Falls (my boss owns six separate car dealerships). He's going to be working 60 hours a week, thus leaving me to get used to not having him around. I ended up yelling at him twice already because I feel left out and alone. It doesn't help that I've been feeling under the weather for an entire week, and my nerves are shot. Is it normal for me to feel this way?

I think it is normal, because it is a major change in the way things have been, and you may be feeling a bit insecure about what changes this may bring. That being said, I think it is probably bettter for the relationship if you can see your way to sharing your feelings with him, rather than projecting and taking them out on him. Easier said than done sometimes! Good luck!

Yes. You have to stopping finding the time to be together and start making the time to be together, otherwise this relationship has little chance of working. Also, I remember when I was working 70-80 hrs a week, I didn't really have the time or energy to talk to anyone. Acknowledge that you aren't in the same situation you were before

Most women would be over joyed at the fact that their boyfriend who has not exactly been an over achiever has gotten a good job and can pay for his own needs. However! After being married for 20 years I still get jealous that my husband spends less time with me then he does at his job or thinking about his job.

Yup. You're stressed and unhappy, and he's working a lot. I've been on both sides.
Once you're feeling healthier, you need to find something to occupy your time when he's not around, like going out to see friends. Maybe since he does work so often, you two should have a regular date night, too. You will both look forward to it.

with money, he can afford now a better looking girl. so, forget him and try to get one. and do not make the mistake of asking your boss for his job again.
