Had an argument with my boyfriend this morning

Agreed, it also immediately makes them the victim. He was upset and annoyed, OP then got upset at his upset and needed comforting.

It doesn’t work like this. You can’t just be upset and needy to have him instantly stop being annoyed. He’s allowed to be annoyed with you sometimes. OP, what you did (if you realise it or not) is quite manipulative. Let him be annoyed, let it be about him for a minute.

Apologise, see how you feel when your hormones aren't running wild and if you've got a different perspective on what happened. When I'm with someone I want to kill them once a month no matter how wonderful they are for the other 27 days, so if you're anything like me, it will be that 😂

you sound like your playing a testing game where your partner reassures you and that’s not enough for you. I can hear him saying he is getting tired of it and becoming angry that he is unheard by you .Think how it must feel if someone asks you to reassure them, you do, and then that’s not enough. Would you feel defeated? I would.

if it were me I would have waited till he was up and running then ask at an appropriate time what he thought of my hair. Appropriate times would be when he’s not asleep, waking up, eating his breakfast, showering himself. If you need to interrupt one of those things then say “sorry I can see your blah blah blah but. Can I ask you this..” if they say no, accept it

if there is a pattern of making him late your defo playing games here.

You sound a bit needy but I would have asked him to look at something funny too. The fact he didn't because he wasn't ready to open his eyes... is he always such a fucking sap? What's he going to do when a baby gets him up? Sack him off. He sounds pathetic. Or like a baby himself.

Don't force people to wake up unless it's an emergency

Sorry, it does sound like you keep round in circles with it. He got annoyed, you told him you were upset. He explained why he was annoyed, said he loved you, but you carried on at him saying you needed more reassurance and he should want to provide that. That would piss me off too, you should have left it there.

I was referring to the OP. But, perhaps, I misread her post.

I don’t like opening my eyes until I’m ready in the morning either. If I expressed this to my partner and they started saying they were scared to move slightly and disturb me, when I’d told them this wasn’t an issue, I’d have serious concerns. Don’t ask me to open my eyes, that’s it. Doesn’t mean we can’t ever cuddle.

You’re catastrophising everything. If he doesn’t want a specific disturbance, you must be impossibly still until he has fully risen. If he’s annoyed it means he doesn’t love you any more.

Look, everyone needs reassurance but it is gonna be frustrating when he feels like he’s giving it constantly and it makes no difference. You need to get therapy and work on yourself. It will do you and your relationship the world of good.

Maybe he can’t do anything right! She expected him to wake up to look at her hair?! That’s insane

He was annoyed because he wanted an extra 10 mins. He told you this, so now you know. No need to carry on the drama.

Set your alarm for when you need to get up, and get up when it goes off. I don't understand why people use a snooze button and then complain that they're running late in the morning. The snooze button might be OK for weekend lie-ins but you are asking for trouble using it on a working day.

“Look at you because something funny had happened with your hair” …. Grow up

Haha if my husband asked me to open my eyes when I was snoozing to look at his hair would tell him to fuck off. So weird. I totally understand waking up on your own terms. If he gets up before me he leaves the room to sort him out self out whilst I wake up - I take longer to wake in the morning.

Any time I hear a partner say "I can't do anything right" that's a relationship over for me. It's immature, defensive and a phrase designed to manipulate someone into affection. And it usually follows a complete non-event where a normal human reaction is blown out of proportion. One can't build a strong relationship with a person like that.
Your time of the month has nothing to do with it.

YABU. Unnecessary drama. Who needs that first thing in the morning jeeeez.

Aw, everyone needs a bit of reassurance at times.

Let this one go, it was early in the morning.

Are minors allowed on this website?

This was very low level to cause such drama, I think this one is on you, OP. I definitely get hormonal and oversensitive sometimes, but most of the time I can recognise it's me. If I don't, DP is usually pretty good about it, knowing that most of the time I do clock it. I can absolutely see how reassuring over minor things could get so waring.

Wow!

YOU are the problem OP.

Your poor boyfriend. Having to deal with this level of neediness is corrosive.

You sound like very hard work.

I think your "I can't do anything right" stance is the one that stands out. This is one thing, not everything, so you need to stop thinking of it as you are a failure in some way. The cuddling was all fine so that was going right. I think you should do some thinking on why your immediate reaction is I can't do anything right. It isn't reasonable to assume that over one thing. You sound a bit dramatic. Maybe he is tired of trying to reassure you when it clearly doesn't work.

You’re being needy and annoying
it’s first thing in the morning
let him wake up as he needs
and making him late as well - no wonder he’s get irritable with you

You do sound really annoying and needy. Just let it go.

You sound like an utter nightmare.
Sorry.

You're a grown woman, not a toddler. You shouldn't need constant reassurance of his love because you have minor disagreements.

It sounds like he's had enough tbh. I would suggest you change your behaviour before it's too late.
