    Due to the hours i work(shift work,days and nights) i have a lot of spare time to myself,
    Some ppl would relish this but recently i am getting very lonely during the days off.I try to keep myself occupied by going to the gym,watching tv,reading,etc.

    Any nights im at home i feel obliged to spend it with my girlfriend (we live together) and i feel my friends feel the same.I work weekends,etc so my social life has taken a drastic downfall,ive had little contact with anyone but my girlfriend the last week and im becoming recluse,its making me very depressed.

    The job is well paid and in the current climate im happy to have a job,im coming up to nine months in the job and i really dont know what to do.
    Should i just go get a regular 9 to 5 job and take a paycut?

    Anyone else in a similar situation?

    Go out on a Tuesday and Wednesday and watch some football with your mates in the pub.

    If you have a girlfriend your hardly alone. I for example have lots of free time and only myself to spend it with. No real friend of note and no girlfriend.

    Why do you feel the need to spend them exclusively with your girlfriend?

    Obviously some nights in together are a must but why not get out of the house every once and a while with her? Invite your friends to the pub or to the cinema or to a comedy show or something. Make it a group thing, keep yourself happy and your girlfriend won't feel like you're leaving her out.

    That said - a lad's night watching a match and having a few scoops shouldn't put any considerate girl's nose out of joint.
