Or before they meet someone new and interesting.
No, I don't mean that old and tired "she's looking for the next best thing" or "he's a stepping stone" or "she's easy prey" crap.
What I mean is that tiny, contingent moment she will/may accidentally meet someone who will peak her curiosity. Then all these attempts (and she is doing some really really heavy lifting there) fail one after the other.
You know how you can tell when you have a problem with work-life balance in a relationship? When your partner writes a blog post noting:
1. The lack of time you spend together.
2. The work-related things you constantly talk about that he/she gets tired of.
3. Your inability to remember things.
4. That he/she plays second fiddle to your work.
5. Your inability to maintain a sane schedule.
6. His/her feelings of loneliness, annoyance and frustration.
No relationship is perfect, but the author has been with her boyfriend for only a year and all of these things are already clearly weighing on her. Right now, she's trying to justify them. But most people can only do that for so long before attempted accommodation turns to anger and resentment. When that happens, relationships end, partners cheat, etc.
