I'm struggling with this acceptance from the point of view of a girlfriend turned fiancee. My FI has a great job, but his work often extends into the late hours of the night by his own doing. When he's with me on weekends he's working from (my) home. He works from his home after work hours. He puts in 8+ hours at work, plus another 3-4 hours every night, sometimes 6! He's a total workaholic, we don't have kids, and I'm worried how this picture is going to look a couple years down the line when I am ready to have a family with him, and he's going to make me feel like a single parent because he's always busy with work.

I don't resent him now, and he's aware that his long work hours make me feel neglected sometimes, but I also know that he's been at his job 2 years and he's trying to get ahead with a huge promotion, so maybe I just need to back off, let him take care of this, nail that promotion, and then things will get better. Friends have warned me that may not change. [/quote]

Don't have children with this man, pp. He will not change. [/quote]

He will not change.  Everyone I know who was a workaholic at the beginning of their career was a workaholic all the way through.  [/quote]
