Why do men make work there priority and can't multi task!?

My boyfriend is always busy he owns his own company and has just gone into another business venture so for the last 2 week I've not seen him or hardly spoke to him just a message or phone call here and there. He hasn't been out with any of his friends which he normally does a lot, all he does is go work and go home or have his daughter. If we speak he just says stuff like sorry I'm really busy ATM struggleing to find time this is a really important part of my career and I need to take it serious and because I got abit upset at first in his lack of conversation I sent him a message saying "we need to talk" to which he rang me a couple of days later to apologise for the late response but it really messed with his head and got him in a panic and he didn't want anything messing up with his head whilst he was trying to sort his new business (I know I know awful of me but I was just feeling upset) he's really got a thing about bad vibes and bad energy. I apologised we are ok but my question is... is this normal why can't boys just multi task?

They prioritise whats important to them. They can manage work and hobbies

How long have you been with him for?

Even presidents and heads of countries manage families and marriage / relationships. For me, his response - timings to get back to you would be too long. Except maybe in the beginning of the dating phase.

Have you thought ahead to what it would be like if you did end up living together / having kids. Would you be ok with him being a workaholic?

I couldn’t manage being with someone that dedicated to their work. it’s been bad enough with my OH work schedule the past year. If it hadn’t have improved I think I may have left.

I do know of people who have been ok to sign up (so to speak) for being with someone whose work is very full on, leaving little leisure time.

Forget everyone else though - what are you happy with / find acceptable?
