Boyfriend Working 100+ Hour Weeks

Need some advice from all you male monkeys. I'm dating a guy pretty seriously who works in M&A big law and tomorrow he is closing a deal that he’s been working on since January. Needless to say, he has been cranking out 100+ hour weeks consistently for the past few weeks. For all of you who have been through those horrendous hours, what are some nice things I could do for him after tomorrow when he closes and gets a few really short/slow days at the office. Was thinking I should give him his space and let him sleep the next few nights. Once he becomes a normal person again...Take him out for dinner? Cook him a nice meal? Thoughts...

And yes to all you guys, your first thought has been contemplated and will be taken care of.

bankerchic And yes to all you guys, your first thought has been contimplated and will be taken care of.
I have no idea what "contimplated" means so I'll just disregard that entire sentence.

Anyways, you need to bang his brains out.

As long as we're being grammar dickheads, "anyways" is not proper grammar.

I was not being a grammar dickhead, you missed the point. I was using the misspelling to allow me to disregard her closing statement saying she had already contemplated offering sex.

Blowjobs seem to be a lost art in modern society. I 3 bjs, give him a nice one at an unexpected time.

Key to a woman's heart = laughter Key to a man's heart = unexpected blowjob

 

Thanks for the comments, guys. I've since moved onto private equity and those 100 hour weeks come maybe once a year but I do remember how rough they were, particularly at the end of a deal.

bankerchicHaha I can assure you I'm a woman, work in private equity and have a boyfriend that's closing a deal at 3PM today. I also happen to be 5'9" and a size 2.
would you say you're more of a JWOWW or a Snooki
 

Why not? I'm trying to prove a point that there are quality women who do exist out there, who can be the best of all worlds.

And honestly, this is the perfect place to ask a question like this -- a bunch of overworked guys who are in the same boat as the boyfriend right now. Sex was an obvious guess but the overwhelming food-related responses got me thinking.

I'm going to bring over a bunch of food tomorrow to cook for him while wearing a little apron, and only an apron.

Um... you forgot the 4 inch high heels and fishnet stockings. You mean only a little apron and 4 inch heels+fishnet stockings.
