Can being a Workaholic Ruin your Relationship?

Often times, my partner gets annoyed and pissed with my over-professional attitude which is lately hampering my personal life a lot. While I love to devote my time and invest my energy and efforts to accomplish the goals, I feel satisfied and content, however, my partner digresses such behavior and always demands me to spend more time with her.

Working at a senior position, it becomes cumbersome to effectively manage my personal and professional life when all I am left with a weekend to analyze my week's performance and plan for next week. Is my workaholic attitude really going to ruin my relationship?

Yes, being a workaholic can ruin your relationship until they are able to maintain a balance between their personal and professional life. 

It simply depends on how we perceive the situation as. If we can manage it nothing seems impossible or difficult. 

You should learn to separate personal and professional life. If you mix the two, your life will definitely become messy. You should give more time to your wife as she deserves that especially the weekends.

That actually depends upon the kind of person you are. I think people who are very passionate about work can be very hot as well. If both the partners are workaholic, they can make a good match. So according to me, being workaholic is good or bad precisely depends upon how the partner is taking it. 

Yes if you are working all the time your partner will leave you. 

Definitely, your workaholic attitude can ruin your relationship because your relationship needs the same amount of your time as your work needs.

Indeed. One should not be too occupied to give time to his family ands friends. Family and friends play an important role in our life. You cannot give them a cold shoulder only to abide by professionalism. 

It depends on the kind of person you are with. Maybe the priority for your partner is spending quality time with you or perhaps hard work, determination and success are the most desirable qualities for your partner. So, I would say that it depends on the person you are with. 

Yes. Being a workaholic will ruin your relationship.
