Go To Bed Already!

My husband, who is normally the most caring, considerate, giving guy you will meet, has a quirk that drives me crazy!

He thinks that falling asleep on the couch once the Robmoster is safely tucked in bed is a relaxing and sweet thing. He will sit there and snore louder than a jackhammer and think he is being helpful.

After 4 attempts to wake him and have him go on to bed tonight he has the following discussion with me.

“I just don’t understand why you won’t go to bed.”
“I want to be with you!”
“Sleeping and snoring is being with me?”
“Well, at least I’m here, right?”
“No, you are not.”
“But I like being near you!”
“You have no idea I am even in the room when you are sleeping!”
“But it’s comfy!”
“It’s frustrating when I feel like you should sleep in bed so you can get up for work.”
“Have I ever been late?”
“No, because I’ve always gotten you to bed!”
“So just leave me on the couch!”
“That doesn’t work. I get angry and finally come out to wake you up again.”
“But I get up, right?”
“Only after I’ve threatened you!!!”
“So, sleeping on the couch may be the only time I want to be with you!”
“You did NOT just say that!”
“I’m going to bed now.”

Hi. Sufing blogs and found your site. Love the story about the conversation with your husband on the couch. Made me laugh because my husband says something very similar - its happening all over the World. Men and their sweet talk!
