Trying to plan trips
When you so much as mention that it would be nice to go on a vacation, your boyfriend goes into stress mode, blurting out reasons the trip won’t work.

When you go on trips
If you are so lucky as to get your guy to go on a trip, he brings his phone to massages, to the pool, to dinner and anywhere it’s allowed. And he takes every call.

He cannot leave Wi-Fi
He will not go somewhere where there isn’t wifi. He calls venues before going to them to check what the wifi set up is.

He misses important events
He has missed something he shouldn’t have–like your birthday or lunch with your best friend from childhood who was only in town for one day–for a work thing that wasn’t that important.

He gets nervous when he leaves the office
The moment you take him out of the office he starts tapping his foot a lot, checking his watch constantly, and carrying out lots of nervous habits.

All his friends are from work
He doesn’t have one friend who he doesn’t know through work.

He never initiates social plans
If he has social plans, they were never his idea. He could never take his mind off work enough to organize a night at a concert with a group of friends. He can only be dragged against his will.

He sleeps with his phone on
His phone wakes you up all of the time, with random texts from his friends. You ask him to put it on silent but he refuses to for fear of missing a work call.

He goes MIA during work
He never sends so much as one text during work hours. It’s as if he forgets the rest of the world exists during work.

He tries to manage your career
He cannot simply listen to you vent about work. He immediately goes into fix it mode, and has gone so far as to tell you how to do your job or advance in your career.
