A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have been with my boyfriend for a year. We were good friends for several years prior to this however. We are both in out 20s with promising careers. Recently things haven't been so good in my life, after being unwell and fainting several times i was diagnosed with anemia. That was several weeks ago and although I am improving I still get exhausted, especially after ar day at work (i work in the city so its a 12/13 hour day. This has meant I haven't seen much of him which is starting to put a strain on us a bit as when we are together over the weekend I'm often too exhausted to do much. What should I do to help relationship? Losing him would be the worst thing.

Also i must mention i am also under a lot of stress with my family as my grandpa is battling cancer and in hospital at the moment. Any tips on how to balance a relationship and your family?

I love by bf and I know he feels the same.

A female reader, Ciar Canada + , writes (13 March 2012):

Ciar agony auntThe anemia is easily cured with iron pills and perhaps a few changes to your diet. I am prone to anemia as well and take ferrous gluconate.

What do you normally do when you get home from work? If you reserve specific nights of the week for laundry or other small chores, or even just down time, your boyfriend knows ahead of time to occupy himself elsewhere. That way he can be happy and there would be less pressure on you. And when you are together you'll have more energy because you've gotten some things done and you've been able to rest.

Is that something that could work for you?

You haven't given us much to go on. How supportive is he? No doubt he's aware of your grandfather's illness.
