Is it normal to be annoyed?

Question

Obviously all relationships have ups and downs but I’m confused as to if what I’m feeling is “normal.” 
I love my boyfriend. We have been together for 3 years. Live together, have dogs, the whole ordeal.
We both graduated college 2 years back and started our careers. I love that he is so ambitious and focused on his career but it’s driving me nuts!!
He works like 12 hour work days (only gets paid for 8) when he leaves work he is constantly taking work calls. Yes before you ask they are actually work calls bc they’re normally on speaker. Even on weekends we’ll be out at dinner or the grocery store and he gets constant calls. 
All he talks about is his work, keep in mind I have a full time job to! He tells me the same work stuff over and over and over, day in and out and I’m getting irritated.
On top of all this, even though I also work full time... i am responsible for all the household chores. Cooking, cleaning, taking care of the dogs, etc.
I fully support him embracing his career but that’s ALL he does or talks about.
I just feel like I have to be house wife and full tim employee without any break from hearing about his work problems.
I know it sounds bitchy but it is the same thing EVERY SINGLE DAY!

Answer

Talk to him about how you feel. I voiced my concerns when my husband did the same in his old job. And slowly he took it on board. 
Chilled on his overtime where possible but he was in management so it’s not always doable. 
All you can do is talk to him about how you feel.

Answer

The only solution I can think of is you need to talk to him and tell him how you feel and the two of you set aside time for just the two of you where no work talk is allowed. It sounds like he needs to figure out how to balance work and life better. Maybe when he gets more comfortable in his position it will get better but don’t just ignore it. You are justified in your feelings.

Answer

It’s definitely normal. My husband works long days and unfortunately he deals with clients and has to be available to them pretty much all hours of the days so he’s constantly on his phone emailing them, writing up contracts, talking on the phone with them etc. When literally all he’s doing is working you can understand why that’s all he talks about, because that’s all he does! If you want to talk about something else just change the subject and talk about that. As for chores, maybe while you’re getting stuff done ask him to help you as well or plan to do a chore together on the weekend.

Answer

I don’t know of anyone who would willingly work for 12 hours and only get paid for 8, or do you mean 12 with the whole bringing work home kind of thing?

Answer

My husband started doing this. I would just stop talking when he brought up work and calmly ask if we could talk about something else. After a week of this he realized how much of our rela and conversation revolved around it and he made an effort to not bring it up. He also started to make a point of turning his phone off at the table and in bed. I dont care about calls during errands or anything though.
