Five things you need to know how to deal with a workaholic:
In the dating world
1. Throw ROMANCE out of the window
You know how you always pictured
yourself with him, holding you in his arms, buying your favourite flowers,
noticing your little likes and dislikes, calling you now and then, etc. Nothing
like that is going to happen.
He is very much new to the
concept of “ROMANCE”. For him it’s very difficult to understand the fact that
when your girl-friend says “Have fun”, it positively means “Abort the mission,
I repeat abort the mission”.
2. Anger Management
There are going to be night after
nights, in fact days and nights, when you will get the call “I am sorry, some
work came up, I won’t be able to make it”. The empty dinner chair, going to
movies alone, the holiday with him, for which you waited so long…
So there are basically two solutions, first
buy a punching bag, and the second is go SHOPPING! Nothing absolutely nothing
in the world feels much better than shopping, have a “SHOPGASM”.
3. Know about their WORK
So you probably, love him a lot,
and I mean “really a lot”. And right now I ask you to have an affair….. With his work.
He loves what he does and he is
dedicated towards his work, and he would feel amazing if you would want to know
about it. What he does is not just work, but practically a part of him. So go
explore a bit more about the person you love.
4. Be Understanding
Trust me he loves you a lot, but
he will never find the right words to express it to you. He can create a whole
new coding world, or design a million-dollar bridge, or lead the world’s best
company, but when it comes to those three words, it’s just not his field.
You’re that girl who is head to
toe all about romance, and he does even has a clue of what to say on the first
date! But as they say, opposite attracts.
5. Be truthful
If he works late and you miss
him, let him know. If he promised you something, and he could not do it, let him
know that you’re hurt! Don’t shut him down from your life, please don’t. Not
returning his calls, not saying anything, it’s not going to solve anything!
I know it hurts, and it hurts a
lot, that the man whom you love so much, isn't being there for you. But this is
something he needs to know too.
