Sometimes for legitimate or illegitimate reasons, a lot of people become too busy for their partners, not only in relationships but in marriages as well.
Of course, money has to be made and dreams have to be chased; but there has to be a balance between that and having time for that special person in your life.
Some partners don’t even know that they are too busy for their other half, and that’s even worse.
Below are 7 signs you are too busy for your partner:
1. YOU ALWAYS MAKE EXCUSES
When you always come up with one excuse or another, that’s a sign that you haven’t been spending quality time with your partner. When those excuses start pouring frequently to the extent that you keep them pre-planned then you should know that your partner is getting frustrated at your absence.
2. WHEN YOU ALWAYS FAIL YOUR MAKEUP PLANS
It’s only normal to tell your spouse that you would make it up to him / her; but when you also fail to meet up the makeup plan then that’s another huge sign that you are extremely busy for your partner.
3. YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING YOU WOULD CHANGE FOR A LONG TIME NOW
When you keep saying ‘it’s only this last deal’ for months and years and it’s always after this last deal and always a last deal then it’s obvious that you aren’t only too busy for your partner, but you might never stop being busy for that special someone.
4. YOU ALWAYS FORGET / MISS SPECIAL EVENTS
This is another sure sign that you have been too busy for your partner. When you always forget important dates and events that matter to you and your partner then it shows that you have been extremely busy for him / her.
5. SEX BECOMES A ONCE IN A WHILE EVENT
When you are too busy for your partner, your sex life would definitely suffer. If you can’t remember when last you had an awesome time in the sheets with your partner then it’s obvious that you are too busy for your other half.
6. NO FUN
This is also another sign that you are too busy for your partner. Busy people always need time to recuperate — so this means the spare time you have would rather be spent on sleeping and resting rather than having fun moments with your partner.
7. POOR COMMUNICATION
If you are too busy for your partner to the point where even communication with your partner suffers then it’s worse at this stage. Communication is highly important even if you are married; once that communication is cut of, it would be unhealthy for your partner in the long term.
Trying to find the balance between your work schedule and being there for your partner is highly important.
