AIO My boyfriend falls asleep on me every night
My boyfriend (25M) and I (25F) live together with our two dogs and our baby (2). He works full time and I am a stay at home mom. I don’t really totally understand what he does, but he has a physical labor type job, something to do with pump stations. Any ways, my boyfriend has this really annoying habit of saying he just wants to close his eyes, but then he just falls asleep. After we put out baby to bed he will be like “Hey I just wanna close my eyes for 10 minutes, I promise we’ll spend time together when I wake up” and I always say okay because he works hard all day and wakes up early, so I understand, also he always assures me he will actually wake up. Well he never does. When I try to wake him up the first time, I do it gently and I usually let him rest for a while longer because I think “maybe he needs more sleep” The second time I try to wake him up I still do it nicely because I have hope he will actually get up and we will have a good night. After some time I try again a third time and he still is not getting up so I try to convince him to go to bed, he does not. Usually by the 5th or 6th time of me trying to wake him up I’m pretty pissed off, and he wakes up saying “Okay Okay!” Like an irritated teenager who’s sleeping in for school or something, and it pisses me off beyond belief because I’ve just spent an hour of my night that I could’ve spent relaxing or doing something productive, trying to wake him up and he wants to talk to me like I’m the asshole. When he gets up I’m usually mad and just want him to go to bed. This usually leads to an argument and me being upset for the rest of the night. I have tried talking to him about this and why it bothers me. I have told him before it’s okay if you tired but just go to bed, don’t make me do this every night. He says he understands and does it again anyways. I have left him to just sleep on the couch, but he snores SO loud and it’s hard to watch anything or relax with his snoring so I have to try to get him up anyways. I have tried talking about it nicely, angrily, you name it I have tried to address this every way possible and he keeps doing it. So yea, am I over reacting? Or do I have a right to feel disrespected? Is this something that I should even be mad about? Do I need a reality check? I love my boyfriend and he is a hard working good man, but this particular thing he does just drives me bananas.
