Would you go to bed?

DP (don't live together) and I have had a rocky weekend. We were OK by the time he left this morning, but both have been through the mill emotionally.

Normally, on a Tues, we go to a club thing together and then he comes here to watch a bit of TV with a cuppa before going back to his own home.

Today, I said I'm feeling exhausted and not particularly sociable, I'm giving the club a miss. He'll go without me, which is absolutely fine for both of us.

He was understanding and promised not to stay too late tonight. The trouble is we often say this, but when it comes to it neither of us wants to leave!. I think one of the reasons for the stressful weekend is that I live in a fairly constant state of sleep deprivation because of the late nights.

So I said, you go to club, have a nice time and I'll see you tomorrow, after a good night's sleep. We're having a day out together tomorrow anyway.

He was fine with that, but said he'd call me later anyway. Which I was happy about at the time.

Now I'm on the sofa barely able to keep my eyes open, so I'm thinking of texting to say, I'm going for a very early night, see you as planned tomorrow. He'll have gone to club now, so won't call until after 9:30.

I think he'll be OK with that, but also know I'd be a bit put out , if he decided to go to bed, rather than call as promised, especially feeling a bit fragile after the weekend.

There's no point me calling him now. He'll be out without his phone.

WWYD?

I'd send the text, like you said. He knows you're tired, I can't see why he should feel put out.
