Sleeping with boyfriend

I've completely had enough of sleeping with him.
I wake up atleast 10 times a night because he is smothering me and I get way too warm. I find myself waking up at the very edge of the bed with him right behind me trapping me. I shove him off and tell him to move but it doesnt work. I sometimes just give in from all the waking up and feel totally fed up and il stay up playing on my phone for hours which means I'm running on next to no sleep. The most annoying is he will dig his boner into my back every morning. It can be from 4am onwards or reoccurring, he will dig it into my back and touch me / grope me like a piece of meat. I ignore him and swat him away but this can carry on for ages obviously disrupting my sleep. This morning I got so fed up of it I just stormed out of bed. I have a 1 year d to sort so sleeping in the day isn't much of an option. He gets to stay in bed and sleep as much as he likes before work so he isnt effected. Coping on less than 5 hours of sleep a night is giving me horrible headaches, changing my mood and anxiety, it's just really getting to me now

Am I being unreasonable to want to be left the fuck alone?? Can anyone help me i dont want to just send him packing

Have you spoken to him about it during the day?

Do you have room in bed for a bolster pillow?

Yeah I have I've even tried going to bed early on purpose but unless his shifts change at work he follows me to bed and it starts all over again

The groping you is bad

How long have you been together?

No yanbu
unless he has done this every single night since you met him I don’t buy this is “involuntary”, he has some control over this behaviour.

Have you spoken to him about it?
I’d personally want to send him packing but he’d be on the sofa as a minimum in my house

No he has his own place but comes to mine all the time

You have my sympathy!

For the best part of 12 months following the birth of our second child, me and DH slept in separate rooms and it was blissful for lots of reasons.

A month ago he moved back into the marital bedroom and I hate it! Grin

I’m learning to accept it and it’s not grating on me as much as it used to but given the choice I would rather sleep on my own again Grin

I can’t really see any benefits to sharing a room/bed if I’m honest Grin

So he's not the father of your 1-yr old?

putting it quite bluntly, ffs just talk him about it.

Send him packing if you don’t live together and he isn’t the father the overruling of your physical boundaries is a huge red flag

Make sure he stays at his if he can’t control himself ... sounds like he is just super horny 😬😬

Tell him if he can't respect that you need space and sleep in bed then he needs to sleep at his own place. Or on the sofa.

You need to speak to him and tell him to stop. If he’s a nice bloke, he will. If he’s not, you need to tell him to go away and never come back.

You need a calm discussion OP the grop8ng and overruling of your bo7ndaries are red flags

He's an arsehole who clearly doesn't respect you. Dump him

If he's ignoring you he's being an arsehole. Tell him to go home, you need a decent sleep and want space. Don't end up with him semi moving in without having your agreement.

You're scared of him being upset with you? This is dreadful.

And he has no respect for you. The night behaviour is awful.

Surely the very best thing in the world would be for him to go away so that you can sleep?

You are not compatible, and he will not change. Save yourself a lot of heartache by doing the sensible thing now.
