How do I save a relationship with a workaholic?
Filed in Questions & Answers on Jul.08, 2009
I have been in a live in relationship with a older man who has had 2 previous failed marriages and we are in a defacto relationship. He owns a medium size business & thinks that if he doesn’t work the business will run down even though he has a 2nd in charge. I like him too much but I can’t deal with him never being at home

Workaholics never change.
You either have to accept the fact that he lives to work or you’re going to have to go on. My man is a workaholic too. His motives behind it are completely innocent though and in his mind he doesn’t feel like he’s doing anything incorrect by WORKING too much.
Just choose your battles in life. Would you rather have someone who spends too much time at work.. or too much time at the bar or cheating? If you really like this man then you’re going to just have to accept it.

Try to help him out with work, this is just a bump along the road that his other two wives couldn’t handle. If it gets too terrible dump him

You sit down and tell him that his away time is driving you nuts and see what his reaction is –if he is willing to make some changes then excellent if not its time for you to consider life without his being home alot or you need to go on completely

Sit him down and tell him how you feel. Tell him that needs to spend more time with you and less at work. If he likes you, he will start working less and spend more time with you.

Get counseling for the two of you. He has to learn to let go, and the two of you need to learn to be together.
Bear in mind that he may be right in that the business could run down. He also may have some lousy experience in the past from letting things go. In either event, he has to learn to delegate and manage. He may have some excellent reasons for his actions. Talk to him about it.
Until he can break his business addiction, he really doesn’t have a relatiion with you.
