It’s a rough patch that’s ended up with you having no real relationship for weeks at time. That started half way through your relationship.
He has been in business 10 years and still can’t make time for you or your relationship. This doesn’t add up. At this point, if it’s successful he should have staff that works for him taking the pressure off. Yes he may have to work a lot. But working that much he doesn’t see you for weeks at a time?
You say he is successful but also that he ‘may’ have financial problems. But you aren’t sure.
You are 2 years into a relationship and have no clue what his finances look like. How can you plan a future with someone when you have no idea about basic things such as his finances. How can you have a relationship with someone who invests so much emotional energy into his business, he has non left for you?
You do realise there’s business owners, in their thousands, that manage to see their partner more than every few weeks? My MD runs a company that turns over 100’s of million pounds per year. He has family and friends that he invests time in. That’s why alot of his employees are there. So he isn’t taking on the bulk alone.
This goes back, to why I wouldn’t ever be interested in someone who calls themselves an entrepreneur. Regardless of its actual meaning, it usually means (as others have said) that they expect everyone to dance to their tune and work around them, accept their ‘career’ needs more attention and that everyone should be willing to take a back seat to them and their latest venture. And more often than not the venture isn’t successful. Often, they aren’t making money. But they don’t want to do the alternative, as in paid work.
Then there the entrepreneurs who are actually unemployed flitting from one venture and investment to the next while other people finance them.
