What do you do?

To spend time together. My Fi and I work crazy hours and on various days. We both are currently working two jobs so it's almost like we have to find time to spend together. We don't live together at the present moment so that makes it even crazy.

We set aside a "date night" every week. We go to the movies, bar, out to eat, shopping, hang out around the house......... Just anything together! Maybe you can coordinate the same day off on your part time jobs so y'all can hang out!!

I am in the same boat as you accept  me& FI live together, I work two jobs, and FI work 4 10 hour day , However , He do not work on Thursday , So I told my second job that I can no long work on that day. So maybe you two can find a day that you both can have off , and make that your day to spend time together,

I agree with the setting aside a day together. Ther first two years of our relationship FI would just spend the night at my house, I used to joke that I had a night time bf because that was the only time i saw him even if I was only awake for a few minutes. We did have part of saturdays together which helped.

Thanks Ladies for the suggestions this was driving me crazy. We used to work for the same company but he's at a new place now (since May) and I'm used to talking to him allday at work and then we would see each other during the week and spend time. Now our schedules are all messed up We have date night tomorrow so that's good. I was missing my baby

I agree with everyone, you have to make time. Before it was just there. It takes some getting used to, but it will work out and you will appreciate every moment so much more. My hubby is a chef and Im accountant and bartender. He has the strangest days off. Some times a weds, a random saturday. Its hard. Hell Right now he is home in bed and Im at work. :-(

FI and I both work from home, but we live separately and both have lots of offsite meetings and/or travel for work, so we make sure to spend quality time together on the weekends.  I also see him at least once a day (unless one of us is traveling), even if it's just for an hour or two to eat dinner together. 

On the weekend we are literally together from Friday night-Monday morning b/c neither of us has to work on Saturday or Sunday.  I really look forward to that time together b/c we get to reconnect and I feel re-energized after our time together.

For the most part my FI and I are long-distance. Living in 2 different countries can be a challenge. We normally see one another every 3 to 5 months. This last time was a miracle of only 3 weeks between because I was lucky enough to get a last minute flight to Belgium after my FI was just in Cali with me.

When he comes to Cali we spend every waking moment together because I don't work and its normally during school vacation when he is around. I did do an entire semester online so I could spend 3 months with him. Right now I am back in Belgium with him. He works full time so whenever I come here I only see him when he gets home around 6 and if he had a bad day he unwinds at his computer. I normally cook and to have "family" time we eat dinner together at the table and will normally watch tv or a dvd together after until 10pm when he normally likes to get to bed. We spend the most time together on the weekends where we will normally have something planned even if its just taking a walk at the park.

When not together we have "Skype Dates". Normally its a time when we are both free so on weekdays his evenings which are my late morning/early afternoon. Then in my night/his morning before he goes off to work. On the weekends we get a little more skype time, but that normally depends on what is going on in my life with family and friends since he is pretty much a loner and spends most of his time alone at his apartment.

It's complicated, but we do the best we can do.

Oh man, for the longest I was in NYC and John was in NJ.  It was hell seeing him.  Then we lived together and he worked overnights nights/weekends, slept days, and I worked days, slept nights.

We made it work by planning our date nights in advance.

Now we have more time together and save our weekends for each other for the most part, eat as many meals together as possible, and try to schedule our snuggleonthecouchandwatchmovies time in

My FI and I are in some what of a long distance relationship, and we work pretty crazy hours.  I work every other weekend and he is off every weekend, so we have dates nights about 2 times a month.  We try and get out of the house and get my mom to keep our son, but sometimes we just stay in.  Doesn't really matter what we do, as long as were spending time together.
