    Thank you, @Sharky88. I really appreciate that. It dawned on me the other day to offer assistance. I trust that he knows what he's doing and I didn't want to impede on his business, being so caught up in what I had going on, but wanted him to know that I am here to support him and I believe in him. I really do, those are not just words. Yes sir, I would be glad to PM you for more information. Thank you sincerely.

    Sounds like it's not meant to be. You both work too much and are not willing to give up any part of your careers for each other. And honestly, you sound codependent with how much you talk about wanting to be supportive. Stand on your own two feet and own your decision to be a workaholic and let him do the same. Clearly a new relationship is not in the cards as you both are experiencing transitions in your careers and don't want to give it up for each other. Maybe he doesn't want the relationship and is perfectly happy to be working all the time?

    Hi @csmith1281, thanks for the feedback. I would have to respectfully disagree. He's expressed that he wants the relationship to work out. I don't believe that "codependency" is wanting to support someone in a new transition. The reality of the situation is we are both business minded individuals. I wasn't raised to be codependent on any man and never have been. I know who I am and what I have to offer. In life, we can't pick and choose what life throws at us. It's a busy time for both of us. Personally, I would never "give up" my career for anyone. I've worked too hard and wouldn't even expect him to do the same. If you read the post, you'd understand that our schedules just started to this magnitude. I am far from a workaholic. There's a distinct difference between a workaholic and someone who has had an influx of work at the moment.
