My wife hates when my night owl self comes to bed too late. The beginning of “too late” is roughly 12:37 am. Anything before that and she usually doesn’t wake up when I slip into bed. Looks like I’ll be following Sophia’s lead shortly. I’ve got 33 minutes to watch some but not all of a Star Trek episode. Engage!

12:37 is oddly specific. Clearly this has been going on for over a year and you’ve had enough time to come up with data.

Roughly 12:37.
Usually what gets me in trouble is if I lie down on the couch and watch Bob Ross. I’m like, “oh these episodes are short,” and then I pass out in the first 5 minutes. I wake up sometime after 1, go upstairs, and she’s irked.

This is exactly why Im not eager to get married and/or moving in together too quickly. I know there have to be some compromises from both sides, but this sh*t....no. Just no.
Im not f*cking twelve years old anymore to be kept in line in when to go to sleep. I understand you breaking up her sleep when getting in bed, but there has to be some sort of middle road here. Sleep on the couch? Surprise buttseks? Whatever it is, not being able to watch whatever you want to watch because you have to be in by a certain time sounds shitty as hell.

Every relationship involves compromise. The trick is to find a partner with whom your compromises don’t feel shitty as hell to you, even if they feel that way to an outsider.
Just my $.02.

I think you’re reading this more negatively than I intended.
This was admittedly a quick little post without the full context but basically if I wake her up going to bed at 1:15 or something, she has trouble getting back to sleep. She might be up for a couple hours. So it’s not exactly fair of me to say I’m going to bed whenever I feel like it, when I know it might totally screw up her sleep.
I’ve lived with my wife for 2.5 years and at times, I’ve been better or worse at getting into bed at a decent hour. For my current job I have to wake up around 7:15 to 7:30 so it’s not like I should be staying up super late anyway. My previous couple jobs I could sleep later. So I still think I can stay up a little bit longer, but I pass out, then go to bed during a time that’s more likely to wake her up. Whereas before I’d be like, OK it’s 12:35, time to go to sleep.
Anyway, if you don’t want to get married that’s fine, but I didn’t mean to make this seem like I’m suffering, because I’m not. It’s supposed to be funny.
