My boyfriend gets mad when I fall asleep?

Should my boyfriend get annoyed when I fall asleep? He wakes up around one in the afternoon where as I wake up around 10am during the week...he usually stays up to 3 and I'm ready to sleep by 12...tonight we were watching a movie and when I kept closing my eyes and dosing off he kept tapping my face to stay awake...but I was so tired and he just got off the couch threw the blanket off himself and told me I should just go home... welp now I'm home and overtired and feeling all bad about it.

  • Nothing is wrong with you, Hun. No offense, but your boyfriend sounds like a douche bag. I would love it if my current girlfriend cuddled up to me and fell asleep in my arms!

    I had an ex I used to fall asleep on when I used to text her at like one in the morning. I had to wake up at like 6 anyways because I worked like a 7-1 shift; so I was only getting about 5-6 hours of sleep. She was like 20, never had a job, and all she ever did was rely on daddy's money to live on college campus to do whatever she wanted. She used to give me the silent treatment to "teach me a lesson" like some sort of 5-year old would do. Today, I am proud to say I am no longer dating her. If they can't accept/understand someone's sleep schedule for any reason, they're a pretty shallow person, and should consider staying single until they figure out how to cope with it.

    My current girlfriend actually lives in Malaysia. We are in a long-distance relationship. She lives on the complete opposite side of the Earth; so when it came to time, she is always twelve hours ahead of me. Sometimes we would try our best to stay up or wake up extra early for each other. If I ever do fall asleep on her, I feel super-guilty because I fear what happened with my ex; and I really care about my LDR. She always giggles and tells me she loves it because she is the last person I talk to every night; and I put serious effort into it. I love her so much, that sometimes words and Skype can't comprehend it.

    Your boyfriend should be more accepting of your sleep schedule. There's no excuse to that!

    • thanks I just don't get it... one minute he's all lovey dovey I love you so much and hugging me and then this happens ( and has happened maybe once or twice before in the past) he acts like a completely different person and just went into his room ... closed his door and I just left feeling so rejected. I real respect your ability to keep up a long distance relationship I think that's so sweet=]

    • So was my Ex. When she fell asleep on me the few times, I made no note to it because I am a good person; and it was my little way of showing her up. Then came the day she "got tired (no pun intended) of me falling asleep"; and cut me off completely. I'm glad she did. She was downright a terrible person! I love my LDR girlfriend! She just happens to be going to a school about 80 miles away next year. I can make this love happen. Correction: I WILL make this love happen!

    • well I'm so happy that's its all working out for u! best of luck even though I'm sure you don't need it you sound like a terrific guy!

  • tap him on the face at 9:00am

    • haha he would get so madd

  • Some people here said he just wants sex... but seriously, does that justify his tantrum? Even if he DID want to have sex (though you stated that wasn't the issue) it wouldn't make the situation any better. Guys don't have the right to get mad if their girlfriend isn't up for it. It's something they should respect and tolerate.

    I know that wasn't the issue with this situation, but I just had to make a point since people brought it up as some sort of justification for his sh*tty behavior.

    As for your real problem, you probably shouldn't have let it slide, but neither made a battle out of it. You could have brought it up more casually, just like hey, I didn't like the way you treated me the other night, I was just really tired and I couldn't help falling asleep. He needs to know that treating you like that is not OK so that it doesn't happen anymore, because once it becomes a habit it'll be harder to make him realize that it's wrong to do it. Next time he does it, make sure to bring it up IMMEDIATELY. Not the next day, not several days after, bring it up the second he does it. Otherwise he won't learn that you're not OK with it, and he'll make up excuses like "well you didn't tell me it was wrong before, why are you getting mad now all of a sudden?" etc.

  • Umm is he alright upstairs? Its either his coo-coo or he was just having a bad day. If this happens a lot than I'd question the relationship. Get some rest. We girls need our beauty sleep and we girls certainly don't need to be treating like that especially for a little tiny thing.

    • lol I'm really not sure... he's sweet most of the time and then he'll snap... it just pisses me off more because I drove him to his classes and drove him home...and too his therapist... and to the store to get him cinnamon toast crunch because he really wanted it ha ha and then he gets mad at me for this

    • That's ungrateful..You should really sit him down and tell him how you feel about his "episodes"..Make him aware that your feeling upset and you want him to be a bit more respectful towards u.

  • dude my boyfriend used to do the same thing

    I just bitched at him finally and he stopped

  • The guys inconsiderate, and very selfish, I would get mad back and now that he has asked you to go home, make it clear that watching a movie is no longer an option, because you go to see him, not a movie, and will only watch a movie if it starts early enough for you to stay awake, because if he throws you out again, he can watch the movies on his own in the future,x

  • ... Your boyfriend should make his time work around your sleeping schedule. If he wanted the day to be spent with you well, he ought to wake up earlier and sleep earlier. Whatever you do, you shouldn't mess up your sleeping patterns for him. tell him, "how can you not expect me to sleep!? I woke up at 10?!" walk out of his house like a bamf. F that. I love it when my girlfriend falls asleep on me gets all reasonably sassy with me to tell me I'm being too selfish ; )

    • thanks lool sounds like a plan for next time =] and I wish he liked when I fell asleep on him=[ I think its cute when he's sleeeppyy haha

  • I love when a girl falls asleep by me, it shows she's comfortable with me and is normal. That's mean that he told you to go home wtf

    • yaa I don't understand why it makes him so mad =/// wish he felt that way about it

    • Maybe he thought he bored you to death and took offense to it, but its really not a valid reason to be mad, he made a stupid move

  • Your boyfriend sounds like a royal douche bag, no offense.

    • i know he can be ...but the majority of the time he's sweet =/

  • Well, your making a big mistake in letting it slide. He probably wanted to have sex with you and got frustrated when you fell asleep.

    Dont brush things you don't like aside, bring it up so you can deal with it instead of avoiding.. if you do that it will bite you in the ass down the line

    • i don't think so we had already done that like an hour before ... but thanks for your answer...ill make sure to confront him next time... its just we had a good day together so I don't think I should bring it up now

    • well, then don't say anything. the point is its best to say something right away when something bad happens. next time make an issue out of it

  • Well, I think the most serious problem is that you live in New Jersey. Haha.

    • Lol

    • lol have you ever been to new jersey? its not all bad =]p

    • haha no but I go to JMU in Virginia and it is infested with jersey. *throws up* lol

    • Show All

  • He wants sex or wants you to stay awake with him

  • He kind of sounds like a jerk. Of course, you could probably come up with something that'll tire him out and make him fall asleep when you want to! ;-)

  • dude sounds like an ass. Had an Ex girlfriend like this. She could run off of 4hrs a sleep a night, no problems. I'd be deep in sleep and would get woken so she could give me sh*t for ignoring her. My chick falls asleep watching TV with me, I get her a blanket and change it to SportsCenter. I don't take it personal that you're tired. wtf is that?

    • aww well you sound like a sweet guy thanks for your answer=]
