Aversion to Bedtime?

[glatt]

Seriously? Try looking at it from his point of view. Your husband obviously wants you to go to bed with him. That's why he stays up as late as he can when you aren't coming to bed. He doesn't want to be going to bed alone when you are still awake. But he needs to be awake in the morning, so it hurts him when he stays up so late. And then in the middle of the night, when you finally do go to bed, you sometimes wake him up so you can get some sex?

You have the luxury of taking a nap later when you don't get a full night's sleep, but he doesn't.

I see. I am supposed to be a nice cooperative wifey and change my life so that he will behave properly. To manage his bedtime, essentially, by parenting him.

Hm.

I don't wake him up on purpose and force the man to do it with me. He could just as well roll over and continue snoring; I could live with it.

I just do not understand why someone who is obviously asleep would pretend not to be.

Ali: Nah, he's a good guy, just a little odd sometimes. Aren't we all.

And Yzn....sheesh, go sleep on the couch! Or grow a pair and move the TV out of the bedroom.
