My workaholic boyfriend never has the time or energy for sex
DEAR DEIDRE: WE should be in the honeymoon phase of our relationship, but sex with my boyfriend is non-existent.
I’m a 28-year-old guy. My boyfriend is 30.
We have become serious pretty quickly and we are very in love.

He is hugely involved with his work and never switches off even though it is not his company.
I know his work is important and comes first, which is fine, but we don’t have sex during the week. He is always too tired after working long days.
But lately I am struggling to get anything from him at the weekends too.
I have tried talking to him and sent him flirty messages, but he says they just stress him out.
I’ve had thoughts about calling it off.

DEIDRE SAYS: Being a workaholic can be a damaging addiction and often there are underlying emotional drivers.
Many couples are short on time, but a proper relationship is about two people’s needs being satisfied.
Talk to your boyfriend again and say he needs to find a better work/life balance and be specific about the changes.
Give yourself a time limit for things to change but if they don’t, best to walk away.
