He's been working like this since he was in his mid 20s
I find it admirable but I wish he would change. I don't see this is a passing relationship. It is the first relationship I have been in that has not been abusive. He is someone I'd like to marry and when he isn't working... on rare occasions and we go out and do things together, we have a blast! It just seems like work takes up 90% of his life.
