Dealing with a Workaholic Boyfriend's Burnout

me and my fiancé are having a really hard time. I’m in a deep depression I can’t seem to shake out of this time and he is immature, just wants to play video games and talk to his friends. I don’t know I understand x

i understand this feeling. my dad is a workaholic, so much so that it split my family apart. it's hard to live that way, being the workaholic and the person with them. it can be very stressful. :( all i can suggest is therapy. for both of you, if possible. people who consume themselves in work usually show symptoms of depression, anger, perfectionism, & high stress. maybe he needs to work things out with a professional to allow him to find healthier ways of coping than using work as a distraction. ❤️ i hope for the best for you. break ups are so immeasurably painful, especially in situations like this. you are not alone ❤️!! you can message me any time if you need someone to talk to.

It’s amazing how much I have in common with you all. I have a boyfriend who is also a workaholic he works 70 hours a week and is looking for another job. He’s financially stable more than I am yet he doesn’t realize he needs to take a break. He hasn’t gotten a single day of in months and he seems okay with it. We haven’t broken up but i feel like i never get to see him he works mornings and i work nights. In a way it feels like we’re already broken up. But i think there’s a reason they both work so much maybe some sort of financial anxiety. He should totally see a therapist and if he’s not interested try to figure out the core reason he works so much.

I’m so sorry!! If you need to talk I’m here!
