Paris, but I live on another continent's working day

I work remotely for a company whose day starts when mine is ending. My meetings run from three in the afternoon until eleven at night, five days a week, and I have done this for four years and it pays for a life I could not otherwise have here.
Thirty nine, Paris, submissive, six years. What it means socially is that my evenings do not exist. I am free in the morning and at lunchtime and after eleven, and that is the whole of it.
Both of my dynamics were with people who worked ordinary hours and both slowly starved on about three hours of overlap a week. Neither ended in an argument. They simply thinned out until there was nothing left, which I have come to think is a worse ending than a row. So I am looking for somebody whose hours are also strange, or who is retired, or who works from home, or who is simply awake late and would rather talk at midnight than at seven.
What I want is a structure that runs through the day rather than around an evening. Rules about how I work, how I eat, how I stop. I am very bad at stopping and it is the single thing I would most like somebody else to be in charge of.
I live alone in a flat I own, I can host, and my weekends are entirely free. If you are also on somebody else's clock, you will already know what the first three paragraphs of this post are about.
