My BF and I have been together like 3 months (we're 25). I have to work 9-5pm but he can pretty much choose his hours and tended to work til about 10pm most nights. So after about a month of gettin together he changed his hours to start earlier so that he could finish work at a similar time to me.
Now it seems he has slipped back into gettin up really late and starting really late and has come to expect that i will go home and have a sleep after work, so that I can stay up til when HE gets tired about 2am... but i cant keep staying up til 2am when I have to be up at 7am... even if i do have a sleep before.
Should I either bring this up with him or just go to bed at 11.30pm (when i feel tired) and see how he likes it?
Or am I just jealous that he gets to sleep in when i have to wake up at 7...
Bucket answered Tuesday May 1 2007, 1:00 pm: I don't think you're being jealous at all. In my opinion, he's causing you to not get enough sleep, and that's going to put your job and your relationship in jeopardy. I wouldn't ask him to change his hours. What I would do is, when I felt tired, just say, "Hey, I've been staying up way too late recently, and I'm tired all day and have to have a nap -- something I don't like to do. So I'm going to go to bed. You can come too if you want, but I'm not making you or anything."
Hopefully, he'll start going to bed earlier with you, or he'll completely ignore it by just staying up as late as he wants and not getting to spend any time with you -- which is his loss. [ Bucket's advice column | Ask Bucket A Question ]
