My bf thinks b/c his job is hands on he works harder then me....help?

me and my bf have been together a little over a year. he works in a warehouse doing shipping and recieving and i work at a bank as a asst. loan officer and sometimes a teller...now i know there's no real comparison. but everytime we get home and i say im tired or have a head ache he say's "oh please im tired" granted his job is tough but mine is mentally tiring. im on the go the whole day, most of the time i eat at my desk. he say's there's always something hurting me....how do i get him to see my job as he see's his....any advise????

Why fight over who works harder? Don't try to win, you will both lose. I work in an office where the work involves a computer all day (CAD Drafter/ designer/ estimator) When it comes down to crunch time, it is very very stressful, to the point where three or four jobs have to be done yesterday. I used to work in the delivery side of this business, delivering furnaces, boilers, air conditioners etc, that was hard physical labor, but honestly, i thought that my office job is more difficult. I enjoyed figuring out ways to get 1200-3000 lbs boilers in and out of the basements of really old houses (its the thing they used to use to heat many old houses, they are solid cast iron, usually old houses have narrow steep stair cases) Yes the shipping and recieveing job is more physically demanding, but the banking job is mentally taxing. You won't burn the calories each day he does, but you will be just as tired at the end of the day.





You ever go to college? Ever take two or three finals in one day that were computer based? Sure you may be sitting still all day, but staring at that computer, thinking with every last neuron in your brain, it wears you out. I am not sure how to get the point across to him, honestly, I am not sure its worth it. Just tell him that your job is mentally taxing and you are just as tired at the end of the day as he is, then tell him you don't want to fight about it any more. Good luck with that, hopefully some of my examples will give you ideas
Reply:Your bf sounds like a total jerk!
Reply:Let him know that you know his job is physically strenuous but your job is mentally strenuous and give him some examples of some of your customers. Also, it was his choice to work where he works and yours to work where you work. Work is work no matter what or where you work it's ok to get tired in one form or another.
Reply:Tell him that you have a smart person's job and you're sorry he can't have one.
Reply:TALK to him! comunication helps,really. If he doesn't get it....it will be hard to continue the relations
