Hi Ladies;
I have a question, but must preface the question with a bit of info. Believe me, it all ties together.
Let's say you are interested in a man, but he works a lot. Let's say he works two full time jobs. He is off from both jobs from sunday night to tuesday evening. He is perfectly willing to spend that time with you. The two of you will also speak on the phone every day. He will not work two full time jobs forever, but will for now and maybe the next couple of years.
Would you start a relationship with this man, given that all other things about the relationship were ok?
I ask this question because the man I speak of is me. I know working two jobs is hard on a relationship, but how hard; and can a relationship begin this way?

Sounds like any other job, work 5 days, off 2 days... nothing new so far.

Speaking for myself, there's nothing wrong with working 5 days a week and getting 2 days off, what I would have a problem with is being interested in someone with a workaholic problem. Life's too short to spend it that way.
If I'm in love with someone and him with me, this would make it very hard for both of us to give our relationship the time and attention it deserves. (I've been there twice and didn't work out).
I personally am against workaholics and wouldn't want to start anything serious with anyone who is, that's the reason why I left the Corporate world myself many many years ago and became my own boss to take my life back and enjoy my freedom as that's how I chose to live my life.. is actually a choice 
Once again, life's way too short
JMO

Thank you for your sincere reply. That is what I was looking for. I do understand that a work schedule like mine is very difficult on a relationship, and that it takes a very special woman to put up with a schedule like mine.
Anyone else care to throw a reply out there?

I work nights Tues through Sun morning so can relate. Thats' just one job, though. I'm not a workaholic, just have to pay the bills. It makes it really hard to socialize. Add in where I live and hello internet! LOL
Good luck to you!
