history: My girlfriend has been so busy with work lately, it's left me feeling neglected. But she's working hard to pay off her student loans and to build her savings, so I have to respect that. But at the same time, we're long distance, so the time I have with her when she actually isn't working isn't that fulfilling, either.

current: That's really too bad. I know how that feels. Have you tried telling her how you feel about it?
next: Yeah, we've had multiple conversations. But it always comes back to her not being able to budge on the time she can commit to her job. And with the long distance thing, there's less of an immediate necessity for her to change her commitment. It's a work in progress.
