Is it rude to ask him to work less?

Dear Pz, I am a 22yr old female working an 8am-6pm job with little time to spend with my boyfriend of 5 years. Since he works nights you can see the conflict. I feel my boyfriend's job uses him because he is one their best workers. He is so big hearted and will work to exhaustion. It is not in him to be rude and ask for time off to spend with me. How do we overcome this hurdle and spend that quality time together again?

Dear Help,
Without being certain, I am going to assume you are both close in age. Feel fortunate to be involved with a man who has such a strong work ethic. It may be, however, he is not in the right job. My sense is this isn't a career or future building opportunity. I would hate to see this 'bighearted' guy continue to waste his valuable time. To sacrifice on a personal level would be warranted if, in the long run, there were professional payoffs. Your boyfriend should put feelers out in a new direction. Perhaps with your spare time you can help him - after all, it is in both your interests if he were to land a better-suited job. While searching be patient, loving, and encouraging. This situation you currently find yourself in is but one small hurdle you will surely overcome as you move forward in life together.
