Brother....Look, It's okay to have a job that keeps you busy all the time, or work in a place where you're not allowed to have your phone with you, it's totally okay, and your partner will have to understand that most of the time you can't call or really communicate during working hours, until the end of the day.
But Imagine this.........
Imagine if she gets a good morning call from you at 7am, when she knows you resume for work at 8am.
Imagine if you take some minutes to call her on your lunch break to find out how her day was going.
Imagine if she gets a lovely text from you at 2pm saying you're just thinking about her; when she knows it is supposed to be your busiest working hours.
Imagine if she knows you're calling to check on her from the bathroom in your office; because you don't want to get caught on the phone when you're supposed to be working.
Imagine if you call her at 4pm asking if she needs anything since you'll be stopping by to see her.
How about getting a surprise lunch or gift pack delivered at her office with your name on it?
How do you think she would feel hearing from you at an unexpected time of the day?
Would it not be appreciated?
Would it not be nice to know that inspite of your busy schedule(s) you're still finding time in between to make her a part of your day?
Most times people just give excuses when they're not ready to commit to anyone, they just want to sit on the fence and expect you to sit with them, saying... "am too busy with work"... Yes you're too busy indeed, but not with work, you're just too busy to water what you have got, too busy to build on it, too busy to make the effort, too busy to let your partner know that she still matters to you inspite of your job.
A relationship becomes boring when communication becomes a predicted routine.
.....For God's sake she doesn't want to throw her phone away during the day because you are not going to call her until 8pm when you're home, she wants you to surprise her, she wants you both to make time for each other in between the busy hours of work.
Don't make irrelevant excuses that wasn't present right from the beginning of your affairs.
