New relationship

I've recently started seeing an amazing guy. We've known eachother since school but went our separate ways relationship wise then met for a meal about 4 months ago and hit it off.

The problem I have is the lack of quality time we have together, he works very long shifts, usually 7 days a week. When I see him he's too tired to do anything (cinema, meals etc) and he has his kids weekend evenings when he's not working and also needs time to himself. He's told me it won't always be like this as he needs to work to clear past debts but I'm afraid he's going to work himself into the ground if he doesn't slow down. I'm really worried about his health. Is there anything I could be doing to help or do I leave him to it and hope for the best?

It doesn’t sound like he has time for a relationship right now and frankly it’s not fair on you. I would call time on this.

It doesn't sound like the right time for him to start a relationship. I'd put things on hold until he has gone to invest in you. But not hold onto too much hope.

So what do you do when you see him?

Sex, amirite? Funny how he has energy for that.

No we don't have sex every time we see eachother, we have had the odd trip to the cinema and out for walks but usually we sit together catching up on when we've been up to, have some food, watch tv etc but no, not always sex.
