Redditors Go Wild As Lady Shares How Boyfriend Reacted After She Failed To Wake Him Up Muliple Times

Relationships can be a rollercoaster ride, especially when two people have different habits and expectations. In some cases, small issues can escalate into bigger problems if not addressed.

There are individuals who feel like they're shouldering all the emotional labor in their relationships, constantly initiating conversations, planning dates, and managing household responsibilities. This feeling of being overburdened can lead to resentment and frustration, especially if one partner doesn't acknowledge or appreciate the other person's efforts.

It's essential for individuals in relationships to communicate their needs clearly and assertively. By doing so, they can work towards finding a more balanced and mutually respectful connection with their partner.

In the OP's situation, a nightly routine has become a source of tension. OP and her boyfriend have developed a habit of watching TV together, but their different sleep patterns and expectations are causing friction.

The fact that OP has to wake her boyfriend up multiple times and feels frustrated about it suggests that there's more to the issue than just a simple habit. Oh, hold on, it's not simple at all.

OP's boyfriend seems to expect her to accommodate his needs, while OP feels like she's shouldering the responsibility of managing their nighttime routine. The situation is further complicated by their different personalities and conflict resolution styles.

The OP writes...

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I want to know if I’m the AH for not getting out of bed every night to wake my bf up. He says I am in the wrong, which makes me wonder, but at the same time I don’t feel like I’ve done anything wrong bc I try my hardest to wake him (over the course of a year) before I give up.

Let's head into the comments section and find out what other Redditors have to say about the story

The OP does not owe him any apology

Reddit

Relationships involve cooperation and understanding. The nightly routine has become a source of tension, with OP feeling frustrated and her boyfriend seemingly unaware of her efforts.

As OP navigates this situation, she'll likely need to consider her own needs and limits. After several attempts by OP to find a way to communicate her feelings effectively, the issue still continues to drive a wedge between them.

The situation leaves room for speculation about the future of their relationship and how they'll work through their differences. So far as Redditors are concerned, OP shouldn't be dating her boyfriend, and if you share the same thoughts, leave them in the comments.
