I(31F) am solo polyamorous and kind of struggling in my relationship with my (39M) partner (I only have one, so far). We have been dating since May of last year. We live about 20 minutes from each other. He works as an airline pilot and I work as a flight attendant. He has another partner who lives closer to him and rarely travels for work. I feel I have been super accommodating for him, but sometimes I feel like the once a week alone time I spend with him is not enough. I understand how busy he is with work, having another partner, hanging out with friends, and having alone time at home. With the nature of our careers, he is often home without me anywhere nearby and vice versa. I have told him multiple times over the last 2 months that I would like more time together. He usually responds with all of the pragmatic reasons it is difficult/how we canβt have a designated day or night because of erratic work schedules. He also tells me that absence makes the heart grow fonder and keeps things exciting. He has also told me that loneliness can happen in any kind of relationship and is something I need to work on. He wants me to have more hobbies and a social life. I guess quality time (& physical touch) are more important to me than to him. Sometimes I wonder if polyamory is too difficult for me or if I just should find partners who have more time for me. I am probably going to talk about this more with a therapist soon. I would appreciate any time management advice.
