Has anyone here experience part-time relationships before? So she is your lover but only part-time, at your/her scheduling only. You two truly do care for each other full-time, but are only (physically, mentally, spiritually) together part-time due to scheduling conflicts or what not. I'm not talking just about affairs. You can still be single with a part-time relationship (say you are married to your job or whatever). How was/is it for you?
Part-time relationships

- Start date
Not sure exactly what you are saying...
....but it sounds like the relationship I have with all of my current "friends"...they are my GF when we are together...they are not when we are not. I know that at least two of them date others....
Yet, it isn't all about sex. I think highly of and respect each of them....I would consider each a friend...
So..when we date...it isn't really a "booty call" in my mind. I really do treat them as i would a GF....

Like if you are in jail but get a weekend pass every couple of months? Or she is married and her husband only goes out of town twice a year? Or like if you live in Vancouver and she lives in Halifax? Or the massage parlor she works at insists she work 16 hour days 7 days a week?hyperdog said:
Been there, done that twice. One time I had to end it because I wanted more, the other time it turned into a 7 year marriage. Off the start it was great, the best of both worlds, but as my feelings developed, I needed more. When I am in a relationship, I want it all, no part time bullshit, but hey, that's just my opinion.
That....
...doesn't make her your "part-time" GF.
Now that you are being more clear, then speaking for myself, I've learned that if you are unhappy...whatever the reason...you are just lying to yourself. If you don't see her enough to make you happy (or she see you often enough for your liking), and there is no plan in place to change this, you are doomed.
