Opposite Schedules

[annadote]

My boyfriend and I have been seeing each other for just over six months. But now we're trying to find time to spend together because he working during normal business hours and I get scheduled more often during the evenings and weekends. It's hard, but we're making it work I think. We just plan date nights around the days where I am not scheduled and try to come up with more flexible plans.

Does anyone else work opposite of their significant other? If so, how do you make it work?

You're doing the right thing. Your like my parents when they were a couple with kids. They were 2ships crossing in the night. Dad was a doctor & worked during the daytime & Mom was  a nurse & worked during the grave yard shift. You guys just need alone time together. Don't take things for granted & spend every minute you can together.

That's what we're trying to do. Sometimes we meet up for lunch on his break and before I go in. Sometimes he swings by my job just to say hi. It has taught us to not take time together for granted. Maybe it will make our relationship even stronger.
