Disclaimer: this has been shortened down because as you know it’s so hard to try to explain everything and if I did this would be never ending!

So I’ve been with my OH almost 8 years, engaged over 2 years and getting married next March.

We bought a place and moved in March this year; he has his own company so works all day, comes home and shuts himself in the office to do all the paper work. Over the last 6 months it’s gotten to the point where we spend very little time together, he gets home most nights after 8pm, then goes to the office and once I’ve gone to bed he will move to the sofa and do paperwork until he falls asleep there, where I wake him up in the morning, we have a very limited conversation and I go to work, then we repeat this all again.

I’m just not sure what to do, he has little to no interest in planning the wedding, we spend no time together it just feels like we are two people living in the same apartment. We’ve been together so long I feel like if we were to end the relationship it is taking the easy way out... anyone else had an experience like this?

It’s been going on for 6 months. Both me and my DH have had periods where we’ve been crazy busy too but there’s been an end to it. That’s why I suggested upthread to ask him how long he expects this continue. We had agreed timeframes on this and regular occasional down time.

Also when my dh lost his dad he fell into work to cope. I left it for a bit and then told him it was affecting our relationship and his relationship with his daughter. That sorted it.
