Recently, he’s been complaining that she has an “attitude” whenever she works from home and doesn’t like that she rarely gives him any time or affection during those days. He told her that he felt more like her roommate than her boyfriend.
She tried explaining that staying focused and shielding herself from distractions is the best way to get her work done.
Even though she doesn’t pay attention to him while working, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t love him. However, she decided she would try to work on being more present with him during her work-from-home days.
“The day after, I made sure to consciously be warm and happy during my work-from-home day,” she said.
“He came to talk to me, and I didn’t interrupt him even though I had work to do. After about an hour of conversation, I realized that I had completely lost focus and was unproductive the rest of the day.”
Later that evening, she told him that she needed to return to staying focused and in the zone during her work-from-home days without him distracting her. He got upset and said he thought he wasn’t asking for much from her.
“I don’t think it’s fair to expect me to be at his disposal all the time when I am just trying to focus on my stressful work,” she added.
Do you think she should feel any remorse for not paying attention to her boyfriend during her work days?
