    My OH and I have similar issues; he works an hour from his house, or 1.5 hours from my house. Our homes are about an hour from each other.

    We both work, he is a pro-athlete so he trains *a lot*, has his daughter at the weekend, I have children plus I too am doing a degree.

    It is hard, really hard to get the time together. But for example, we booked a days leave last week and spent some time together. We only see each other a couple of times a week (mid-week and weekend) but it works for us (for now!)

    It's super hard sometimes isn't it? I think after my degree is finished I'll have more time to go see him during the week. I'm gonna chat to him face to face and suggest somethings such as this as I think it'll help.

    Do you have a longer term plan after studies finish? Are you hoping to move in together/look for a half way house in between where you both are?

    We did plan on moving in together but seeming as our physical relationship is crap right now we've put a hold on that otherwise it would just be like moving in with a friend - I don't want that at all and nor does he. I think I just need to concentrate on not being stressed out so much and enjoy life a bit more.
